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.

Changing Outcomes with Data

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the traditional clinical trial model and accelerated the adoption of decentralized clinical trials. Trial sponsors are embracing these new approaches as a way to improve recruitment and retention of patients, relieve the travel burden on participants, and remove geographic barriers to eligibility. The contract research organization Veristat is leveraging virtual trial tools and strategies to increase trial efficiencies and save sponsors time and costs. We spoke to Shaheen Limbada, executive vice president of innovation and strategy for Veristat, about the lessons its learned during the pandemic about conducting these studies, how technology is enabling new approaches to clinical trials, and how its forever changed how these studies are conducted
