UPK offers numerous software products that help deidentify structured and unstructured health data. The HIPAA-compliant products allow healthcare stakeholders to securely share patient healthcare data. The company’s clients include Allscripts, McKesson, Decision Resources Group, Optum and IBM Watson, among others.
“Datavant’s vision is to be a trusted steward of healthcare data that services the entire healthcare ecosystem,” said Travis May, co-founder and CEO of Datavant. “Healthcare data is too siloed today, which holds back the development of new medicines and the personalized treatment of patients. We are excited to build upon the foundation laid by UPK to help healthcare organizations safely link their data to improve medical research and patient care.”
Roivant Sciences and Travis May led the company’s financing round.
