SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vault Health, a national leader in remote diagnostics and COVID testing, and Datavant, the leader in helping organizations securely de-identify and connect health data, today announced a collaboration to enable life sciences and healthcare organizations to connect their data to Vault’s vast set of COVID-19 test data. Datavant will also support Vault’s decentralized trial capabilities by connecting patients in Vault clinical trials to more than 500 real-world data partners and, with patient authorization, enable retrieval of the patient’s complete medical record from Datavant’s more than 15,000 clinics and 2,200 hospitals.
“Our home diagnostics platform has enabled us to facilitate over 12 million U.S. COVID-19 tests,” shared Jason Feldman, Co-Founder and CEO of Vault Health. “Datavant enables Vault to engage with researchers from across healthcare and life sciences to conduct robust analyses of patient outcomes for both positive and negative COVID cases. Even more exciting is the way Datavant’s connectivity helps enrich remote trials we conduct for vaccine and diagnostics companies connecting both the patient’s clinical record and the spectrum of available real-world data.”
“There are still many unanswered questions about COVID-19,” noted Travis May, Founder and President of Datavant. “As the pandemic continues to unfold, questions about variants, breakthrough infections, impact on vulnerable subpopulations, and re-infection need answers. Having a partner in our ecosystem who can contribute insight to these pressing questions will hopefully support bringing the next generation of vaccines and treatments to market.”
