"The future of medicine is digital and mobile," said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, founder and CEO of NantWorks. "NantWorks and Verizon share a common vision for the transformation of the health care industry through 'big data.' As one of our first targets, we will explore ways to translate the massive amounts of data available on cancer treatment. Our goal is turn this data into actionable information at the point of care, enabling better care through mobile devices in hospitals, clinics and homes."
