Kythera Labs implemented a Medallion Architecture to create specific, progressive improvements to large volumes of healthcare Real-World Data (RWD) as it moves through the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers. We added an additional level, Platinum, with extended benefits for answering business questions faster.
Bronze: where we land data from all our data sources. Our data is sourced from various providers, each with its own format, delivery method, and relational model.
Silver: the ingested data goes through our automated “remastering” process, which includes matching, de-duping, cleaning, and format conforming, among others that provide a unified view of the data. At this stage, the data has been improved so the end user, whether an analyst, data engineer or data scientist, can use it confidently.
Gold: where data is organized in consumption-ready analytics for various projects such as customer analytics, product quality analytics, building patient cohorts, drug commercialization, market intelligence assessments, and more.
Platinum: Wayfinder is an environment to immediately access and analyze Kythera Labs’ remastered and derived data assets using familiar SQL on a simple data lake model with Databricks’ highly efficient Photon Serverless warehouses. Here Life Sciences and Healthcare Providers organizations can take advantage of our improvements in the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, including data cleaning, standardizing, de-identifying, uplifting, curating, and joining functionality to integrate data they supply and analyze robust, holistic, and unique datasets at scale.
