BlackBerry, Optus join forces in rollout for Melanoma Institute Australia

Source: ITWire, October 2018

BlackBerry has teamed up with Optus Business in the deployment of a secure content collaboration platform, BlackBerry Workspaces, for medical research organization, Melanoma Institute Australia.

After a successful trial, the Institute — which pioneers the prevention and cure of melanoma through world-class research, treatment and education programs — is deploying the software to enable researchers to securely share critical research data and patient records in a heavily regulated environment, ultimately helping in the advancement of skin cancer research.

BlackBerry Workspaces is being used by MIA as the secure file storage and collaboration platform for its clinicians, researchers and external stakeholders. Approved contributors in the network, such as scientists and doctors at different hospitals, can use BlackBerry Workspaces to save and share data from medical histories and clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of treatments and interventions.
