Verisense® Health partners with Datavant for enhanced real-world data integration in digital health research

Verisense® Health will integrate Datavant’s data connectivity platform to expand its Digital Health Panel with additional real-world data (RWD) sources, advancing objective digital health research.

Verisense Health, Inc., a digital health technology and data company, has announced its adoption of Datavant’s data connectivity platform. This adoption is aimed at bolstering the capabilities of its Digital Health Panel, with the goal of broadening the sources of RWD accessible for research purposes.

Geoff Gill, CEO of Verisense Health, highlighted the significance of broadening RWD sources, saying, “Datavant is the ideal partner to help broaden the range of RWD included in the Digital Health Panel. Datavant has the largest RWD ecosystem with more than 500 data partners with linkable claims, electronic medical records, laboratory results, social determinants, genomics, imaging, mortality, and registry data. Their connectivity platform will allow us to discover, assess, and connect the Digital Health Panel to other RWD in a secure, HIPAA-compliant manner.”

Verisense Health leverages its Verisense data acquisition platform and Digital Health Panel to create a Digital Biobank. This Biobank allows researchers to conduct digital health research without needing to collect new patient data, streamlining the research process.

Verisense Health’s Digital Health Panel captures longitudinal, raw wearable sensor data along with patient-reported outcomes. Integrating this panel with other RWD sources within the Datavant Ecosystem provides researchers with a broader spectrum of patient insights, fostering better decision-making and potentially improved health outcomes.

Datavant’s connectivity platform utilizes tokenization technology, enabling the matching of de-identified patient records within and across datasets while maintaining patient privacy. Datavant facilitates the movement of over 60 million healthcare records between thousands of organizations, including more than 70,000 hospitals and clinics, 70% of the 100 largest health systems, and an ecosystem of over 500 RWD partners.

The recent launch of Verisense Health’s research-grade Smart Watch further enhances its data collection capabilities, providing high-quality digital health data at an affordable price point. With the integration of Datavant’s connectivity platform, Verisense Health aims to efficiently combine longitudinal digital health data with outcomes data, thereby driving progress in clinical research.

Tal Rosenberg, President and GM of Life Sciences, Ecosystem, and Public Sector at Datavant, stressed the importance of integrating digital health data with other RWD sources for a comprehensive understanding of patient health, noting, “Linking digital health data with other sources of RWD is critically important for developing a complete picture of patient health.”
