Changing Outcomes with Data

The Bio Report

Providers hold vast amounts of health data that can be harnessed to gain better insights into diseases, improve outcomes for patients, and help bring about an era of precision medicine. Despite advances in artificial intelligence to capitalize on these stores of data, much of it has remained siloed and out of the reach of researchers and drug developers who could put it to use. Last year, a group of 14 health providers caring for tens of millions of patients through thousands of care facilities across the country formed Truveta, a company that has built an AI platform to make structured and de-identified patient data available for research. We spoke to Terry Myerson, CEO of Truveta, about its platform technology, the work it is enabling today, and how AI and the availability of real-world data is changing how biomedical research is conducted.
