Truveta, a big-data company, has brought its membership to more than 40 large health systems and life science companies with the addition of Inova Health System and Sanford Health.
Seattle-based Truveta also announced the expansion of its community to include new life science partners, including Reprieve Cardiovascular and SK Life Science, which join previously announced companies Pfizer, Boston Scientific Corp., and Alpine Immune Sciences.
Founded in 2021, the company’s health system members, including Providence, Advocate Health, Trinity Health, Tenet Healthcare, Northwell Health and AdventHealth, provide more than 17 percent of all daily clinical care in the United States. Their EHR data is linked across health systems and augmented with integrated social drivers of health (SDOH), mortality, and claims data for a complete view of patient journeys, the company said. One of the platform’s goals is to provide longitudinal insights that link together underlying health conditions, treatments, and outcomes so physicians can learn how to best treat patients and share this knowledge broadly.
Inova and Sanford Health represent hundreds of sites of care and tens of thousands of caregivers across Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Virginia.
“Inova is pleased to partner with Truveta to bring together nationwide data from diverse sources to advance innovation and improve healthcare outcomes,” said J. Stephen Jones, M.D., president and CEO, Inova Health System, in a statement. “By combining our collective knowledge and expertise, we can make significant strides in understanding and addressing complex health challenges.”
The company recently developed its own Truveta Language Model (TLM), a large-language, multi-modal AI model for transforming electronic health record data for research on patient outcomes.
Truveta is working with researchers on timely data for their studies, including Anupam B. Jena, M.D., Ph.D., of Harvard University and the Freakonomics MD podcast, who recently published using Truveta Data in JAMA Network Open, and researchers with the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
“Truveta was founded by innovative health systems with the shared mission of saving lives with data,” said Terry Myerson, CEO at Truveta, in a statement. “This growing community connects healthcare with leading-edge life science organizations to advance this mission through Truveta’s unique connection of data, people, and ideas. Together, we can improve patient care, accelerate R&D, and inform public policy.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Truveta to use their unprecedented access to EHR data for real-world data research and advance our understanding of epilepsy and seizure disorders,” said Sean Stern, M.S., director of health economics outcomes research at SK Life Science Inc. “Through Truveta, we can uncover insights into patient care and outcomes that we’ve never seen before at this scale and breadth of data, including seizure frequency in clinical notes. Together, we believe we can drive meaningful improvements in the lives of patients living with epilepsy.”
Truveta’s health system membership now includes Providence, Advocate Aurora Health, Trinity Health, Tenet Healthcare, Northwell Health, AdventHealth, Baptist Health of Northeast Florida, Baylor Scott & White Health, Bon Secours Mercy Health, Centura Health, CommonSpirit Health, Hawaii Pacific Health, HealthPartners, Henry Ford Health System, HonorHealth, Inova, Lehigh Valley Health Network, MedStar Health, Memorial Hermann Health System, MetroHealth, Novant Health, Ochsner Health, Premier Health, Saint Luke’s Health System, Sanford Health, Sentara Healthcare, Texas Health Resources, TriHealth, UnityPoint Health, Virtua Health, and WellSpan Health.
