Verana Health's VeraQⓇ population health data engine transforms structured and unstructured EHR data into curated,quality data (Qdata®) to power insights on care quality,treatment patterns and outcomes,clinical trial site selection,therapeutic market share,and more. The engine ingests and curates de-identified EHR data from three unparalleled databases: the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRISⓇ Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight),the American Urological Association Quality Registry (AQUA),and the American Academy of Neurology Axon Registry. It then often links the de-identified data to other sources such as medical and pharmacy claims,diagnostic images,genomics,and mortality data. Verana Health maintains,protects,and curates its data ecosystem using clinician oversight,natural language processing,and machine learning. It also provides insights closer to real time into the overall drug lifecycle. The platform leverages information on:

More than 500 million patient visits

More than 20,000 contributing clinicians

More than 9 years of longitudinal data

Approximately 90 million de-identified patients

More than 70 contributing EHR systems

3 therapeutic areas

Unmesh Lal,a Frost & Sullivan research director specializing in healthcare,observed,"Information technology solution providers explore value creation and extraction from the growing RWD volumes to enhance patient recruitment and engagement,reduce trial costs,and increase longitudinal trials and digital patient data."

VeraQ creates curated,fit-for-purpose data modules,called Qdata,to help answer complex questions requiring observational inputs from de-identified clinician notes and EHR records.
