Hi John - it is not the BI tool you should worry about as all of them do pretty much the same thing, It is the data that is usually the bigger challenge particularly if some of your clinical data is coming from EMR's. like Epic or Cerner. Modeling, Extracting and Transforming this data for optimal BI usage is the larger task. Once you have accomplished that, just pick the BI tool that makes most sense from a cost and ease of use experience. The most popular ones I've seen used with clinical data are BusinessObjects, Tableau and PowerBI.

I believe that Spotfire is much better than many other BI tools, especially for clinical and healthcare data as it provides several related features by default. I am surely comparing the ones in the Gartner MQ. Not to mention the fact that years of concrete experience in such area made SF more suitable for respected industry. (They had a special agreement with Perkin Elmer )However, you may still consider newcomers as their embracement of AI might be more native and easier than exploration-based BI tools.
I am an SME for various Government Agencies in Tableau, Power BI and Business Objects. I have done clinical dashboard displays for both Blue Cross Blue Shield and the FDA. I left Business Objects 10 years ago to become a Tableau SME and recently left Tableau for Power BI.

I find that Tableau always has a solution to even complex problems - but a true programmer is needed often to find these solutions. I still dabble in all three products and do not shut the door on any one of them - because the best tool depends on what you are trying to accomplish, Recently, I wrote a suite of utilities that emulate Business Objects Universes and Capture the Semantic Layers of Business Objects Universes to easily build Tableau / Power BI Data sources. This toolset is called the "Universe Capture" toolset and has been successfully used at both the IRS and USPTO government agencies.
BI tools normally are not domain specific, you can use Power BI, Tableau, or Microstrategy. Any one of them will fulfill your requirement, which means providing a platform to develop dashboards on health-related data, my opinion is to try them for small health datasets and explore the functionality.
If required, I can help you, or you can do it yourself. It is not very difficult.
