CHICAGO, June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Prominence Advisors is excited to announce that Databricks has awarded the company for the best Healthcare and Life Sciences solution at the 2019 San Francisco Spark + AI Summit, the world's largest Spark big data and machine learning event.

"We are excited to be honored for our team's work on our Sepsis machine-learning solution built on the Databricks platform," Bobby Bacci, Prominence CEO and Founder, said.  "We're continue to push the envelope in building solutions that will change the way healthcare organizations use data in the future and look forward to seeing the application save lives and reduce cost."
