Speaker 0: Palantir has multiple health care management programs called dashboards. They function as central intelligence for the hospital, showing real-time census, staffing levels, drug inventories, and more. They are centralized tools that allow users to touch a button to change staffing, pharmacy orders, vaccine orders, ventilator counts, and other resources. Hospitals already use these Palantir programs to manage their business, so adopting them was not a big change.
Under Operation Warp Speed, the HHS Protect program was part of the effort, and Palantir created a program called Tiberius. Tiberius used data collected from HHS Protect and from the COVID-19 registry. It could predict behavior and included data such as ethnicity, location, behavioral data, and medical record information. It knew whether someone was vaccinated, even though there wasn’t a publicly trackable code for that, but Palantir had a way to determine it; the CDC and HHS had ways to determine it, while hospitals did not have access and were blinded.
Tiberius assigned a risk score to people, and also to hospitals. This risk scoring was used to determine how resources were allocated—where to send vaccines, where to send ventilators, and where to send remdesivir.
