Wellstack Powers ECG’s Cipher Collective with the Data Foundation for AI in Healthcare

MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wellstack today announced its role as the data foundation of the Cipher Collective, a new partner network launched by ECG Management Consultants to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across healthcare.

The Cipher Collective brings together a select group of best-in-class AI companies curated by ECG to help health systems, payers, and providers cut through marketplace noise and implement practical AI strategies with confidence. Each member contributes specialized capabilities, while ECG provides the strategic and operational expertise to guide organizations toward measurable impact.

Wellstack’s role is to ensure every solution in the Cipher Collective is built on a clean, unified, and trustworthy data foundation. By offering a modular and flexible data platform and integrating information from EHRs, departmental applications, and external systems, Wellstack creates a reliable longitudinal unified data model that empowers any AI application across the ecosystem - regardless of what investments any given healthcare organization has made.

“Our role is to ensure that every AI solution in the Cipher Collective is empowered with clean, trusted data,” said Rich Waller, CEO of Wellstack. “Without that foundation, healthcare AI can’t deliver reliable results. We’re proud to provide the longitudinal trusted data foundation that makes these innovations possible.”

“Wellstack is central to the Cipher Collective because their platform provides a suite of data governance and management services that accelerates the value delivered by every other AI partner in the ecosystem,” said Asif Shah Mohammed, Partner and Head of Digital Innovation at ECG.

By enabling a trusted data foundation, Wellstack helps make AI adoption faster, less risky, and more impactful—allowing Cipher Collective members to deliver solutions that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create better experiences for patients, providers, and staff alike.
