Rush University System for Health joins forces with Fabric
Rush University System for Health has formed a strategic partnership with Fabric for Rush Connect and Rush Connect+ platforms designed to offer digital-first access to healthcare services. Under the collaboration, Fabric's AI-based virtual care technology will power the platform, reducing wait times. Fabric's AI-driven technology and virtual care platform will enable Rush Connect to deliver patient access to care with ease. Additionally, clinical teams will get access to the tools for expanding capacity and delivering quality care. Rush Connect guides patients from initial signs of illness to receiving medical care via a digital experience. It utilises Fabric's 24/7 AI Assistant for real-time patient triage and navigation. The system is designed to alleviate the pressures of increased patient demand and clinician burnout, which are exacerbated by fragmented healthcare solutions. Rush Connect+ subscribers will benefit from Fabric's asynchronous-first Virtual Care platform, connecting them with licensed providers for quick treatment plans. This approach aims to lessen wait times, broaden access, and streamline the care process for both patients and providers, marking a significant shift towards Access-as-a-Service in healthcare. Fabric founder and CEO Aniq Rahman said: "This collaboration is a great example of how our technology and clinical platform can scale to support new care models, ultimately enabling Rush to provide even better access to care for patients across the Midwest and setting a new standard for the entire country." The partnership between Fabric and Rush University System for Health represents a scalable, patient-centred model for health systems facing obstacles such as growing demand and workforce shortages. Earlier this year, Rush University System for Health expanded its partnership with Suki to implement the Suki AI Assistant across its enterprise.

Fabric Partners with Rush University System for Health to Launch AI-Powered Rush Connect, Expanding On-Demand Care Access
Fabric's always-on AI and subscription-based virtual care technology powers Rush Connect, cutting wait times and boosting capacity The partnership is a blueprint for improving care access while increasing capacity and reducing operational complexity for patients and providers NEW YORK, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fabric, a leader in care delivery and consumer experience, today announced a strategic partnership with Rush University System for Health, Chicago's first healthcare institution, to power Rush Connect and Rush Connect+, the academic health system's new platform for on-demand and subscription-based digital-first access to care. Using Fabric's AI assistant and virtual care platform, Rush Connect delivers faster and easier patient access to care while giving clinical teams the tools to expand capacity, enhance efficiency, and deliver high-quality care. Health systems are overwhelmed by growing patient demand and clinician burnout, yet many still rely on fragmented solutions that disrupt workflows while creating barriers for patients. According to a 2024 Deloitte study, almost all patients want convenient virtual care options, but access remains limited. To address the gap between demand for more accessible care and the current standard, Fabric's AI-powered technology and clinical infrastructure enables systems like Rush to deliver scalable, continuous care that meets patients' needs without compromising quality. Rush Connect guides patients from the first symptom to treatment through a seamless digital experience. At the core is Fabric's 24/7 AI Assistant, which triages and navigates patients in real time and directs them to appropriate care. For patients with a Rush Connect+ subscription, Fabric's asynchronous-first Virtual Care platform seamlessly connects them with licensed providers for treatment plans in minutes. By combining smart triage with on-demand care delivery, Rush Connect reduces patient wait times, expands access, and minimizes friction for patients and providers. 'We are thrilled to partner with Rush, an organization that has consistently embraced innovation to put patients first,' said Aniq Rahman, founder and CEO of Fabric. 'This collaboration is a great example of how our technology and clinical platform can scale to support new care models, ultimately enabling Rush to provide even better access to care for patients across the Midwest and setting a new standard for the entire country.' Fabric is leading the shift from traditional, episodic care to Access-as-a-Service, a model defined by continuous, AI-supported access to care for patients whenever they need it. Fabric's deployments have reduced provider work time to just 89 seconds for asynchronous visits—making them 10x faster than traditional workflows—and have accelerated async-to-video visits by 2–4x through automation, all while maintaining clinical outcomes equal to face-to-face care. Rush University Medical Center, ranked among the top 20 hospitals in the U.S. and tied for the best hospital in Illinois, is one of the first major health systems to deploy this approach at scale, combining smart triage, same-day and next-day options, and ongoing virtual care into a unified experience. 'Fabric's platform is instrumental in helping us expand access to meet patients' increasing expectations for an always-on healthcare experience, while also ensuring the high-quality, continuity of care that Rush is known for,' said Ben Wolfe, Senior Director, Digital Transformation at Rush. 'Rush is committed to transforming healthcare, and we're thrilled to be offering these new digital-first services that create a new level of simplicity, convenience, and personalization for our patients.' This partnership offers a scalable, patient-centered blueprint for health systems navigating the challenges of rising demand, workforce shortages, and increasing expectations for digital-first experiences. By integrating AI thoughtfully into core operations, Rush and Fabric are building a more resilient healthcare delivery model that's responsive and personalized.

Groq AI to open its first European data center in Finland
July 7 (UPI) -- The AI company Groq announced Monday it is set to establish its first-ever European data center. It already has a presence in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia, but its global network will soon stretch to Helsinki, Finland. "As demand for AI inference continues at an ever-increasing pace, we know that those building fast need more - more capacity, more efficiency, and with a cost that scales," said Groq CEO and Founder Jonathan Rossin a press release. "With our new European data center, customers get the lowest latency possible and infrastructure ready today." "We're unlocking developer ambition now, not months from now," he added. Backed by investment from Samsung and Cisco, the expansion is expected to bring AI inference capacity closer to its users across Europe, which will increase the speed of response times but diminish latency and provide sturdy data management. The move to Helsinki is being done in conjunction with the digital infrastructure company Equinix, and not only will this move better solidify the relationship between Equinix and Groq but allow users of Equinix's Fabric network to drop inference workloads into the GroqCloud platform. It will also provide inference access through Equinix Fabric's infrastructure for new American clients as well as those in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. "Combining Groq's cutting-edge technology with Equinix's global infrastructure and vendor-neutral connectivity solutions enables efficient AI inference at scale," said Managing Director for the Nordics at Equinix in the release. "Our customers at Equinix will be able to securely tap into GroqCloud and lead on innovation within their enterprise." Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
