An Unprecedented Data Platform and Creating a Learning Community for Health
Truveta is building an unprecedented data platform. Its 17 health provider members care for tens of millions of people and operate thousands of care facilities in 40 states. Clinical data from its health provider members represents the full diversity of the U.S. across age, geography, race, ethnicity, and gender. The Truveta platform will leverage the power of Azure and AI to include insights from billions of de-identified datapoints, including medical records, images, and genomics. Importantly, data is refreshed daily and continuously flowing, providing researchers with an unprecedented opportunity to learn about our nation’s health every day.

Truveta is also creating a learning community for health, bringing researchers together to easily build on each other’s work, readily share their data-driven questions and answers and ultimately speed their time to insight. Applying AI to health data will accelerate the pace of human learning into real-time learning, which the COVID-19 pandemic made clear the world needs.
“COVID-19 has shown us the important role that data plays in helping us rapidly understand, prevent and treat disease. That’s why we must create a world where new insights enable us to be ready for the next pandemic and address other pressing health issues, including heart disease, chronic illnesses, and cancer,” said Rod Hochman, M.D., President & CEO, Providence. “From detection to preventative care to personalized medicine, the opportunities to combine AI with Truveta’s learning community for health create nearly limitless opportunities to save lives with data.”

Earning the trust of health providers and their patients is critical, and Truveta is governed to the highest standards of security, privacy, and ethics. Data privacy will be protected using several industry-standard, privacy-preserving techniques and audited for risk of re-identification. Truveta chose Azure as its cloud platform for its industry-leading security and compliance capabilities that will help the company protect sensitive health data, manage compliance and address evolving regulatory changes.

Advancing Health Equity Around the World
Microsoft and Truveta share aligned values on advancing health equity and democratizing healthcare for all. Microsoft will help Truveta bring its platform to market globally to accelerate the opportunity for researchers around the world to join the Truveta learning community and enable researchers to study the diversity of our planet and efficiently share health knowledge with everyone. With more data from more members, more diseases and more drugs can be studied in more precise situations – with data that is representative of our world’s demographics, race, and socioeconomic diversity.
