Truveta and Mathematica announce new partnership to deploy real-world data to advance public health and health equity

New partnership combines Truveta’s real-world data with Mathematica’s expertise in public health policy and data analytics to advance public health outcomes, surveillance and equity. 

Truveta, a real-world data (RWD) and analytics company, and Mathematica, policy research and RWD analytics consultancy, have announced they are forging a partnership to utilize RWD to advance medical research in the areas of public health surveillance, health equity, and maternal health. Through engaging with leading public sector agencies and philanthropies focused on these areas, Truveta and Mathematica together will improve patient care and outcomes, including health equity, across the US. 

“Truveta’s mission is saving lives with data. With this partnership with Mathematica, we will be able to advance medical research in many ways, informing important public health conversations, advancing health equity, and addressing maternal health,” said Ryan Ahern, MD, MPH, CMO and co-founder of Truveta. “By combining Truveta’s complete, timely, and clean electronic health record (EHR) data that is representative of the diversity of the US, with Mathematica’s experience in public health and policy, we can advance health care for Americans.” 

“There are critical gaps in the data currently available to answer important questions,” said Alex Bohl, Director of Data Innovation, Mathematica. “With the timeliness and completeness of Truveta Data, Mathematica can now partner with critical public sector agencies and philanthropies to advance patient-centered outcomes research and address some of the most important issues in healthcare today.” 

Truveta is a growing collective of more than 30 health systems that together provide over 18% of all daily clinical care in the US; its data, updated daily from 800 hospitals and 20,000 clinics across all 50 states, represents the full diversity of the US. Truveta is endorsed by more than 40 leading healthcare and life science customers to study safety and effectiveness, improve patient care, and train medical AI.  

Mathematica’s mission is to improve well-being for people and communities through reimagining the way the world collects, analyzes, and applies data to solve urgent challenges, innovating at the intersection of data science, social science, and technology in close collaboration with decision and change makers.  

Prior to the formation of this latest alliance with Mathematica, earlier in 2023 Truveta announced a partnership with Alpine Immune Sciences to accelerate clinical trial recruitment, and the launch of the Truveta Language Model: the first large-language model specifically designed to accurately make EHR data useful for research.  

Through the new partnership, Truveta will work with Mathematica to provide Truveta Data and advance real-world, evidence-based research in the public sector, including Truveta’s ongoing work with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Health Data for Action research program, focused on making health care more affordable and equitable.
