For a healthcare federated learning system, infrastructure is typically provided by a combination of cloud providers, federated learning platform vendors, and participating hospitals. There isn't one universal provider; the right choice depends on whether you're building the system yourselves or buying a managed solution.

Key infrastructure providers

1. NVIDIA — FLARE

Provides an open-source federated learning runtime for coordinating training across healthcare institutions while keeping patient data at each site. It can run on infrastructure you manage or in the cloud.

Best for: building a customizable, production-oriented system.

NVIDIA FLARE

2. Rhino Health

Provides a healthcare-focused federated computing platform for connecting hospitals, harmonizing clinical data, and training AI models without centrally collecting patient records. Its platform is used in cancer research collaborations.

Best for: multi-hospital deployments where you want a specialized platform vendor.

Rhino Federated Computing

3. Flower Labs — Flower

Offers open-source federated learning software and an enterprise platform, including deployment support for Docker and Kubernetes. It can use existing hardware and cloud infrastructure.

Best for: teams building their own federated learning architecture.

Flower

4. Lifebit

Provides a managed federated research environment for biomedical and health data, with cloud integration, security controls, and tools for analyzing data where it resides.

Best for: biomedical research networks that need secure data access and analysis as well as federation.

Lifebit

5. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud

Supply the underlying compute, storage, networking, identity, and security services. These are infrastructure providers rather than, by themselves, complete healthcare federated learning solutions. AWS has documented deployments using NVIDIA FLARE.

Best for: organizations that want to operate and control their own infrastructure.

Who provides what?

Infrastructure layer	Typical provider
Federated training and coordination	NVIDIA FLARE, Flower
Managed healthcare federation	Rhino Health, Lifebit
Cloud computing and GPUs	AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
Local data and hospital systems	Participating hospitals and health systems
Security, access control and governance

A concrete example is the Cancer AI Alliance, a collaboration of major US cancer centers supported by AWS, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and other technology organizations. Its federated AI platform enables research across institutions while protecting sensitive clinical data.

My recommendation

Building your own platform: Start by evaluating NVIDIA FLARE or Flower, with cloud infrastructure as needed.
Connecting multiple hospitals quickly: Evaluate Rhino Health or Lifebit for managed infrastructure.
Building a large research consortium: Consider a hybrid architecture with hospital-controlled compute, centralized orchestration, and cloud-hosted coordination services.

One important distinction: the platform vendor usually does not own or supply all the patient data or hospital infrastructure. Each participating healthcare organization generally remains responsible for its local data, permissions, and deployment environment.

To narrow this down: Are you building a system for (1) a few hospitals, (2) a large multi-hospital research network, or (3) a commercial healthcare AI product? The best infrastructure provider differs significantly across these three scenarios.

Sources cited in this answer12

Yes. The market is best understood as a stack: some companies provide the federated-learning runtime itself, while others provide a healthcare-specific federation platform or the underlying cloud/compute.

Strongest providers to investigate

Provider	What they provide	Healthcare evidence	Best fit
NVIDIA — FLARE	Open-source federated-learning runtime, orchestration, provisioning, privacy/security tooling	Used in medical imaging, oncology, genomics, COVID research, and multi-hospital collaborations. NVIDIA's current healthcare materials specifically highlight federated computing.	Production FL infrastructure / hospital networks
Rhino Health	Healthcare-focused federated computing platform, including edge computing and MLOps	NVIDIA identifies Rhino as a federated platform for multi-site medical AI; its platform integrates NVIDIA FLARE and has been used by healthcare/life-science organizations.	Turnkey healthcare federation
Owkin / Substra	Healthcare-oriented open-source FL software and ecosystem	Substra originated at Owkin and has been deployed with hospitals and biotech organizations. Owkin has demonstrated FL across multiple hospitals for oncology/histopathology.	Clinical research, pharma, multi-hospital AI
Flower	Enterprise federated-AI framework/platform	Flower offers an enterprise product for production federated AI and explicitly lists healthcare, NHS and drug discovery among its deployments/use cases.	Flexible developer platform / enterprise FL
Flywheel	Biomedical data/imaging platform integrated with FL infrastructure	Flywheel documents healthcare deployments combining its imaging platform with NVIDIA FLARE and NVIDIA infrastructure to train across hospitals.	Medical imaging + FL
Intel	Compute infrastructure and acceleration rather than a turnkey FL platform	Intel documents medical FL deployments using Intel Xeon + Data Center GPU infrastructure, including multi-hospital medical-imaging scenarios.	On-prem/edge compute for FL
AWS / Azure / Google Cloud / OCI	Underlying cloud, GPU, networking, security and orchestration infrastructure	These clouds can host the FL coordinator and/or site infrastructure; healthcare data services provide FHIR/DICOM/HL7 capabilities.	Underlying infrastructure rather than healthcare-specific FL

My shortlist

If you're looking for providers you could actually approach about deploying federated learning across hospitals, I'd prioritize:

Rhino Health — probably the closest match to "healthcare federated-learning infrastructure provider." It abstracts much of the infrastructure complexity and is explicitly designed around healthcare/life-sciences federation.
NVIDIA FLARE — particularly compelling if you want to build/control the infrastructure yourself. It's open source, supports PyTorch/TensorFlow, and has substantial real-world healthcare validation.
Owkin / Substra — especially strong for pharma, clinical research, oncology and multi-institutional research. Substra has been used in production healthcare environments.
Flower Enterprise — attractive if you want a more general-purpose federated-AI platform with healthcare support rather than a medical-imaging-specific stack.

One important distinction

I would not put AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud in the same category as Rhino or Substra. They can supply the underlying infrastructure, but the federated-learning layer generally comes from a framework such as NVIDIA FLARE, Flower, or Substra. A typical architecture is:

Hospital A data + FL client
↕
Hospital B data + FL client → FL orchestration/aggregation layer → Cloud/on-prem compute
↕
Hospital C data + FL client

The critical healthcare requirement is that patient data remains inside each institution, while model updates/parameters and approved metadata are exchanged. NVIDIA's healthcare implementations and Owkin's multi-hospital work demonstrate this architecture in practice.

There is also an interesting newer example: FLIP (Federated Learning Interoperability Platform) from the London AI Centre, King's College London, and Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. It is specifically designed for production healthcare networks and supports both NVIDIA FLARE and Flower backends.

If your goal is vendor selection/procurement, I can next build you a more detailed 20–30 provider landscape with columns for HIPAA/GDPR, on-prem deployment, cloud support, EHR/FHIR integration, medical imaging, managed vs. open source, pricing/business model, healthcare customers, and geographic coverage.
