SAP and Fresenius Join Forces to Create a Sovereign AI Backbone for Healthcare
SAP and Fresenius are collaborating to create a sovereign AI platform aimed at improving healthcare through secure data processing. This partnership is essential for ensuring that AI applications within the medical sector comply with strict governance requirements that public cloud solutions often fail to meet.
The project seeks to transition from isolated AI pilot projects to a comprehensive, integrated system. With a digital backbone established, hospitals will benefit from a cohesive, AI-supported healthcare environment. Michael Sen, CEO of Fresenius, emphasized the goal of accelerating the digital transformation of healthcare in Germany and Europe, making data and AI user-friendly for medical professionals to focus more on patient care.
This new platform will utilize SAP Business AI and the SAP Business Data Cloud to ensure compliant, responsible management of health data. By addressing fragmentation in data across various hospital information systems (HIS), the platform fosters connectivity through industry standards like HL7 FHIR, enhancing efficiency and data-driven processes in patient care.
The companies plan to invest hundreds of millions of euros in the medium term to facilitate this transformation. This funding will support not only the development of internal technologies but also investments in startups that can contribute to building a more robust library of tools for the sovereign platform.
Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE, stated their ambition to set new standards for data sovereignty and security in healthcare, aiming to realize the full potential of AI and digital processes to improve patient care sustainably.
As Europe leans towards sovereign infrastructures in healthcare, this partnership reflects the critical need for controlled environments that meet regulatory requirements. Without such foundations, AI initiatives risk stagnation.
