Solution

Mendel built its Databricks implementation around Agent Bricks, Databricks Data + AI Platform, Unity Catalog, Lakehouse Federation. Mendel, an AI leader in healthcare and life sciences, tackles the challenges of fragmented clinical data with their HyperCube platform, which enables precision in tasks like clinical trial matching. However, the complexity of building disease-specific ontologies and managing data across multiple systems slowed progress. Agent Bricks provides the agentic and generative AI runtime used to build domain-specific applications. Databricks Data + AI Platform provides the shared lakehouse environment for ingestion, engineering, analytics, and AI workflows in this deployment. Unity Catalog applies centralized governance, lineage, auditing, and access control across shared data assets. Lakehouse Federation lets teams query remote systems alongside lakehouse data without copying all source data first.

Data flow

Source data is ingested into databricks, curated in shared lakehouse tables, processed with Databricks compute and orchestration services, and exposed to downstream analytics and users.
