Project Alvearie

Project Alvearie is an open-source project designed to bring together contributors from across the health and life sciences ecosystem for collaboration around common and pervasive challenges to health data ingestion and flow.

Together, we're working toward building a set of extensible, modular and scalable multi-cloud data and analytics components that can help organizations improve care delivery and operate more efficiently in a highly regulated environment.

Alvearie: (al-vee-air-ee) - from Latin alvearium, "beehive"
Represents a group of people collaborating to build something that any one of us couldn't do on our own. In the sense of a repository - especially of knowledge or information: originally the name of a dictionary encompassing several languages

Key Objectives

Transform healthcare tech with an open ecosystem of composable services aligned with open standards, and delivered via cloud agnostic technology

Build an extensible, modular, scalable set of components that can be pipeline aligned with common industry-standard data models

Be the leading reference implementation in healthcare, highlighting how to combine various technologies into meaningful patterns for healthcare
