Oracle (ORCL - Free Report) recently announced that it has been acknowledged as a founding member of CancerX. This public-private partnership is set to advance innovations aimed at reducing cancer-related fatalities. Leveraging its extensive experience in open cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, clinical and healthcare research, along with its scientific insights from acquiring Cerner, Oracle will contribute its expertise to the initiative.

CancerX is the inaugural project in the White House's National Cancer Moonshot program. The initiative is co-hosted by Moffitt Cancer Center and the Digital Medicine Society, in conjunction with the office for the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.

Oracle and the team of diverse innovators will collaborate to precisely determine the significance of digital advancements in cancer therapy. The partnership will tackle gaps in methodology and execution, establishing guidelines for the fair integration of digital healthcare technologies on a large scale in cancer treatment.

The objective is aligned with the White House's Cancer Moonshot ambition to decrease cancer-related mortality by a minimum of 50% in the upcoming 25 years. Additionally, the collaboration seeks to improve the experience of individuals and their families living with and surviving cancer. This is expected to boost revenues from Services and America in the upcoming quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ORCL’s first-quarter fiscal 2024 Services revenues is pegged at $1.43 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 5.78%, contributing 11.48% of the total revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from America is pegged at $7.78 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 8.24%.
