Called Insight, the database of more than 81 million records aims to provide physicians, researchers and others with real-time insights into health trends across different patient populations.
“Real-time patient health data has been kept under lock and key, both because of technology limitations and the companies monetizing that data at a high cost — until today,” said Ryan Howard, founder and CEO of Practice Fusion, in a news release. “Insight unleashes powerful, de-identified health data from tens of millions of real patients and more than 2,000 drug therapies in real time, at no cost. This is a hugely disruptive move in the health data industry.”
Use of the database is free, though a premium option is available.
