Bon Secours and Sentara Healthcare announced Thursday they have joined a group of 12 additional health care providers to form a new company, Truveta, which will offer data insights for patient care.
Spurred by the rapid research needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Truveta will create a new data platform using artificial intelligence and machine learning to allow the 14 health care systems to learn from each other and allow for larger populations from which to study health care data. In total, the health care systems provide care for tens of millions of patients and operate thousands of facilities across the U.S. All data will be de-identified to maintain anonymity.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how much the world needs to learn faster, so we can better serve our communities,” Truveta CEO Terry Myerson said in a statement. “Our vision is to improve lives with data. We want to help researchers find cures faster, empower every clinician to be an expert, and help families make the most informed decisions on their care.”
