Helix needed to replace a fragmented research environment and niche tooling that made it difficult to search petabytes of genomic and patient data efficiently and securely across teams.
Reported impact
Helix created a governed, cost-effective sequence-once, query-often model that makes genomic insights easier to access across teams, speeds discovery and supports more consistent personalized-healthcare and therapeutic-development decisions.
Helix chose the Databricks Data + AI Platform as a unified foundation for genomic research after a fragmented environment made it difficult to search petabytes of clinical genomic data alongside healthcare analytics and patient records. Rather than forcing every researcher or business user to understand complex data models and specialized tools, Helix centralizes these assets in one governed platform where teams can work securely at scale. Genie provides a natural-language interface over the underlying data models so users can query complex genomic and healthcare data more quickly, while Unity Catalog applies fine-grained access controls to sensitive patient data and keeps usage governed as more teams participate. The result supports Helix's cost-effective sequence-once, query-often operating model and helps accelerate genomic discovery, therapeutic development and personalized healthcare decisions.
Clinical genomic data, healthcare analytics and patient health records are unified in Databricks, governed through Unity Catalog and exposed to users through Genie. Teams can then query the shared models in natural language to retrieve genomic insights without leaving the governed platform.
Genie enables teams to query complex data models in natural language.
Helix is accelerating the integration of genomics into healthcare.
It is transforming how teams search through petabytes of clinical genomic data to pinpoint critical variants.
This centralized approach supports Helix's cost-effective sequence-once, query-often approach.
With Unity Catalog, fine-grained access controls protect sensitive patient data.
