By January 30, 2025No Comments2 min read

The SIMI Group, Inc. (SIMI), a pioneer in health information exchange and analytics services since 1996, continues to push boundaries in public health and healthcare informatics. By addressing critical data gaps across public health agencies, healthcare systems, community organizations, payers, pharmaceutical companies, and researchers, SIMI delivers near real-time situation awareness while prioritizing privacy. Their expertise transforms complex data into actionable insights that drive community health and wellness.

The Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) is excited to welcome The SIMI Group, Inc. (SIMI) as a startup member. By joining the CCC, SIMI reinforces its commitment to advancing data security and driving the global adoption of trusted execution environments (TEEs). This strategic collaboration with industry leaders like Microsoft and AMD positions SIMI to meet the rigorous privacy, security, and compliance standards of healthcare and public health, while building trust among the public and community partners.

“SIMI is excited to join the CCC and collaborate with Microsoft and AMD,” said Nilesh Dadi, Director of Trusted & Predictive Analytics at SIMI. “This partnership empowers us to support healthcare systems and public health by leveraging trusted execution environments. With this technology, we enable near real-time situation awareness of vaccinations, outbreaks, and medical emergencies in a transparent and privacy-protecting manner.”

SIMI’s leadership in public health innovation stems from firsthand experience with real-world challenges. “SIMI was boots-on-the-ground from the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States,” said Dan Desmond, President & Chief Innovation Officer at SIMI. “The world can no longer rely on faxes, massive group phone calls, and spreadsheets to manage medical and public health emergencies. We’re working with CCC collaborators to build on our progress with the Confidential Consortium Framework, moving toward an accountable and attestable zero-trust future.”

As a CCC member, SIMI is poised to drive the adoption of secure, privacy-first technologies, shaping the future of public health and healthcare informatics through collaboration and innovation.
