#93, Harnessing Data to Scale Innovations, Part Five of the Health Innovation Compilation Series
To scale health innovation, we need to take a broad view and redefine the art of the possible in Real-World Evidence, Data & Population Health. In the fifth and final episode of our Health Innovation Compilation Series, we hear from Mendel, Akrivia Health, Epistemix, Ovation, and Evidation Health, innovative companies that are transforming how we leverage data to drive better health outcomes.
1. How does Mendel reconcile conflicting medical data?
- Mendel’s AI structures unstructured patient data into coherent journeys, reconciling conflicting information from sources like pathology reports and genomics.
- It enables querying consolidated data through intuitive interfaces, providing faster answers backed by evidence.
2. How is Akrivia Health unlocking insights in mental health?
- Akrivia Health uses AI/NLP to curate and deidentify unstructured clinical notes from electronic medical records, translating them into structured data for mental health research.
- This enables safe data sharing and treatment development for mental health and dementia.
3. How does Epistemix simulate population health interventions?
- Epistemix created a synthetic US population to model infectious disease spread, expanding to chronic conditions and social determinants.
- Their simulations evaluate cascading effects of interventions like faster testing on community outcomes.
4. How is Ovation bridging genomics and healthcare?
- Ovation envisioned being a genomic data company, building a biobank and research network from diagnostic lab data.
- Linking genomic and longitudinal patient data enables studying disease origins and advancing therapeutics.
5. How does Evidation Health incentivize healthy user behaviors?
- Evidation Health incentivizes users to contribute real-world data from wearables to impactful research studies.
- This provides insights into health outside clinical settings for disease prevention and management.
