What's New?

• Rhino Health was named a finalist for the 2024 Digital Health Awards, in the "Health Equity" category. This nomination is in recognition of Federated Computing's ability to support data collaborations among healthcare organizations representing a diverse patient population around the world, as well as  between these organizations and industry partners in life sciences wanting to ensure efficacy & safety of treatments for a broad population.
  
  
• Rhino COO, Chris Laws, and lead engineer, Tal Einat, spoke at our partner NVIDIA's FLARE Day, describing the diverse applications of Federated Computing - from supporting drug development all the way through fighting financial crimes.
  
  
• The Rhino team recently completed a project to improve breast cancer diagnosis in partnership with Assuta Medical Centers, Emory University, and I-Medata AI Center at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center with funding from ELISE - European Network of AI Excellence Centres. The team was able to establish a new benchmark for mitosis detection, all while keeping the underlying data behind the hospitals' firewalls.
  
  
• We have recently published an article describing how the Rhino Federated Computing Platform can support researchers as they comply with the National Institutes of Health's Data Management and Sharing Policy.
  
  
• Rhino announced that we have joined the Coalition for Healthcare AI (CHAI), a group of leading organizations working to advance the responsible development and adoption of AI in healthcare. We are glad for the opportunity to collaborate with our peers in building norms around the responsible development and applications of AI.

Rhino Federated Computing Platform (Rhino FCP) Updates

Improvements with Interactive Containers

We have done some major upgrading behind the scenes of Interactive Containers to increase stability with interactive sessions, support TCP connection for compliance with enterprise network security, and improve the user experience. The user experience improvements include:

• Added a "initializing" status while the container is being initialized, preventing users from prematurely opening the interactive session and ending in an error state
• Fixed an intermittent issue where "Import + Terminate" would not successfully import output datasets prior terminating the interactive session

Any schema

The Rhino FCP now enables users to create Code Objects without specifying an input Data Schema. This allows creation of Code Objects that can operate more generically across different types of Datasets, improving code reuse and reducing the number of Code Objects needed on FCP. See more details in the documentation.

Updated GUI Design

We have been updating the GUI to improve the user experience and match the company brand. We like the new colors' pop, we hope that you do too!
