For a healthcare federated learning system, the infrastructure is usually provided by a combination of organizations, not a single vendor. The provider depends on which layer of the stack you mean:

Layer	Who typically provides it	What they provide
Federated learning platform	NVIDIA (NVIDIA FLARE), Flower Labs (Flower), Owkin / Substra ecosystem	Federated orchestration, client/server communication, aggregation, security controls, workflow management
Cloud infrastructure	Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Corporation	Compute, GPUs, networking, storage, Kubernetes, identity/security services
Hospital-side infrastructure	Each participating hospital or health system	Local data environment, secure compute node, data access controls, compliance processes
Managed healthcare FL platforms	Rhino Health and similar vendors	End-to-end federated learning environments, deployment tooling, governance, and MLOps

ParseA common architecture looks like this:

Hospital A
  └── Local EHR/imaging/genomics data
  └── Local FL client + GPU/compute

Hospital B
  └── Local EHR/imaging/genomics data
  └── Local FL client + GPU/compute

Hospital C
  └── Local FL client + GPU/compute

          ↓ encrypted model updates

Central FL server
  └── Aggregation + orchestration
  └── Runs on hospital, private cloud, or public cloud

For healthcare specifically:

NVIDIA FLARE is often used when organizations want a healthcare-focused federated learning runtime. NVIDIA documents deployments where the central server and client sites can run on on-premises, cloud, or hybrid infrastructure.
Cloud providers usually supply the underlying compute rather than the federated-learning logic itself.
Hospitals generally keep patient data inside their own environments; only model parameters, gradients, or other approved updates are exchanged.

So the practical answer is:

If you are building the platform yourselves: you might use AWS/Azure/GCP + Kubernetes + NVIDIA FLARE/Flower/Substra.
If you want a turnkey healthcare federation: you might work with a managed platform provider such as Rhino Health or Owkin.
If you are a hospital consortium: each hospital usually contributes compute and governance, while a central organization manages the federation.

The key design question is whether you want to own the orchestration layer or outsource it.

Sources cited in this answer2

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.
