Komodo’s real-world evidence deepens industry understanding of racial disparities to close gaps in care, advance diversity in clinical trials
San Francisco – November 18, 2021: Komodo Health today announced the expansion of its Healthcare Map™, adding new demographic characteristics to help its customers advance health equity and close gaps in care through richer population health insights. Komodo’s Healthcare Map is the industry’s largest and most complete database of de-identified, real-world patient insights, providing a longitudinal view of encounters with the healthcare system for over 330 million patients.
By incorporating additional patient characteristics into its Healthcare Map, Komodo is making it possible for its clients to better assess real-world experiences and outcomes for diverse patient populations. For instance, a more nuanced understanding of disparities in care can help healthcare stakeholders:
“If we are serious about reducing the burden of disease, we must acknowledge healthcare inequities that exist and take meaningful action to address unmet needs in communities of color,” said Arif Nathoo, MD, CEO and co-founder of Komodo Health. “Everyone in healthcare from providers to industry innovators play a role in addressing gaps in care, and we believe that we will have the ability to surface critical insights to help drive meaningful outcomes.”
Despite well-documented research on disparities in care and outcomes, race and ethnicity insights have historically been incomplete, biased, and difficult to link with the other data sources necessary to identify the roots of these disparities. Komodo’s demographic data are layered into Komodo’s Healthcare Map, which is the foundation of the company’s cloud-based software solutions, providing even greater transparency into current care practices, opportunities for intervention, and strategic actions to close access gaps and support better outcomes for all.
