AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle Health has been recognized as a leader in the IDC MarketScape: U.S. Healthcare Data Platform for Providers 2024-25 Vendor Assessment1. The report notes: “With a strong emphasis on interoperability, Oracle Health Data Intelligence aims to empower customers with access to data from various sources — clinical, claims, social determinants, pharmacy, and real-world data (Omics and De-ID) without the cost or complexity of integrating disparate systems.” By integrating and analyzing data from a wide array of sources, Oracle Health Data Intelligence provides an EHR-agnostic cloud platform that enables providers to make more informed decisions that help improve care quality, operational efficiency, and financial performance. The solution also dramatically simplifies deployment for IT teams seeking a complete and pre-built lakehouse platform.

The IDC report evaluated 15 technology providers that have healthcare data platforms for providers in the U.S. The report adds that, “Oracle Health’s integration of AI and predictive analytics across its platform is a powerful asset for its customers as they focus on delivering more personalized care.” The report continues, “With a continued emphasis on innovation, the company remains committed to advancing healthcare through data-driven intelligence and operational excellence, making it a key player in the healthcare landscape.”

“With its single, unified solution, Oracle Health can significantly reduce the cost and complexity of deploying a health data platform,” said Mutaz Shegewi, senior research director, worldwide healthcare provider platforms and technologies, IDC. “Oracle Health Data Intelligence can integrate and analyze data from multiple sources at scale to help healthcare systems meet operational, clinical, and financial objectives while reducing the administrative burden on caregivers.”

Built to take advantage of the security, performance, and scalability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Health Data Intelligence is a suite of cloud infrastructure, analytics, and applications. The suite enables a broad range of healthcare and government stakeholders to use data from across the healthcare ecosystem without the cost and complexity of trying to integrate disparate data and systems on their own. It provides a fully managed intelligent data lake with built-in AI and data analytics capabilities and is ideal for a broad range of use cases, including providers building better population health strategies and optimizing value-based care (VBC), as well as academic medical centers seeking to accelerate their research and improve outcomes. Oracle Health Data Intelligence continuously and securely integrates patient data from a wide range of sources—clinical, claims, revenue cycle, social determinants, pharmacy, and more—to deliver insight across back office and point-of-care workflows. As a result, providers and policy makers gain a more complete view of their patients and populations and benefit from suggested next best actions to optimize care and financial performance. The subsequent actions and outcomes are fed back into Oracle Health Data Intelligence to improve future insights and recommendations.

The report notes that “Oracle Health Data Intelligence’s deployment extends across various healthcare providers, research institutions, pharma and CROs, government agencies, and organizations seeking to optimize VBC delivery and regulatory compliance. Notable collaborations, such as the partnership with Advocate Health, highlight the solution’s impact on improving the quality of care while managing costs.”

“With built-in AI and end-to-end analytics, Oracle Health Data Intelligence constantly delivers insights that enable healthcare organizations to be more proactive and data-driven in their approach to improving patient care, closing care gaps, and driving financial performance,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “Equally important, this single, unified data platform will be the foundation for innovation and success in the coming era of agentic AI.”

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Published

May 3, 2026

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH Energy Storage is the manufacturer of the FranklinWH System. FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
