Briefing

10 reasons to choose Truveta’s mother-child EHR dataset

Understanding the link between maternal health and child outcomes is crucial for advancing both maternal and pediatric care. Truveta’s dataset includes daily updated data from over 1 million mother-child pairs, providing critical insights into how maternal health, behaviors, and exposures influence child outcomes.

Briefing

Heart failure innovation

The lack of treatment evolution for heart failure (HF) is partly due to the difficulty and cost of studying complex inpatient interventions. This case study highlights how Reprieve Cardiovascular, a clinical-stage startup focused on decongestion for HF, partnered with Truveta to understand the current standard of care for HF to de-risk their pivotal clinical study and optimize trial protocols.

Case study

Psoriasis data

Psoriasis is chronic, systemic disease that affects over 8 million people in the United States. Truveta’s complete, timely and clean EHR data includes a psoriasis patient population with over 4.3 million relevant notes. This briefing highlights the possibilities for psoriasis research with robust EHR data.

Briefing

RWE for regulatory submissions

The FDA supports using real-world evidence for regulatory decision-making but stipulates that the underlying data must be fit for purpose. This briefing highlights Truveta’s approach to ensuring high-quality, fit-for-purpose EHR data and streamlining real-world evidence submissions to regulatory authorities.

Briefing

Prostate cancer data

One in 8 men will develop prostate cancer, yet real-world datasets often fail to capture the full prostate cancer patient journey, early-stage treatments, and all treatment modalities. Truveta’s complete, longitudinal EHR data spans care settings and treatment types. This briefing highlights data available to support prostate cancer research and innovation.
Briefing

Medical images

De-identified medical images are often hard to find and detached from clinical context, hindering research efforts. Truveta provides access to more than 85 million medical imaging studies integrated with complete EHR data. This briefing provides insight into the images available and how they’re advancing research.

Briefing

Assessing device safety

Despite promising clinical data for novel pulmonary embolism therapies, there are no randomized prospective studies comparing them and guidelines have not been updated to reflect real-world safety data. This case study showcases findings from a peer-reviewed study using Truveta Data to compare the safety of devices from Boston Scientific and Inari Medical.

Case study

Why TLM outperforms other LLMs

Unlocking the full potential of healthcare data has long been hindered by issues of fragmentation and lack of structure.
