LexisNexis Gravitas recognized as a leading
tokenization solution
ATLANTA, May 17, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- The Health Care business of LexisNexis Risk
Solutions has been named a 2022 MedTech Breakthrough Award
recipient for its next-generation tokenization solution,
LexisNexis® Gravitas™. As an independent market intelligence
organization, MedTech Breakthrough recognizes the top companies,
technologies, and products in the global health and medical
technology market.
LexisNexis Gravitas includes a first of its kind, patent pending
token that provides advanced data de-identification technology at
the patient level with unmatched precision. The Gravitas Token
offers the ability to enhance a de-identified patient record with
other elements such as social determinants of health information,
medical claims data and mortality data, providing a more
comprehensive view of an individual, while maintaining strict
compliance with security and non-reidentification requirements.
This complete view is critical for decision-makers and researchers
involved in clinical settings as they seek to uncover more
effective, data-driven outcomes.
"The healthcare industry collects and stores incredible amounts
of data, yet very little of it can be shared due to HIPAA and other
privacy regulations," said Jeff
Diamond, president, Health Care business of LexisNexis Risk
Solutions. "The Gravitas Token maintains compliance with those
restrictions1 while also liberating that data to be
used for its intended purpose—to deliver better, more effective,
patient-centric care."
This year's MedTech Breakthrough Awards program attracted more
than 3,900 nominations from over 15 different countries throughout
the world.
"This smart token technology from LexisNexis Risk Solutions
represents a true breakthrough moment for healthcare" said
James Johnson, managing director,
MedTech Breakthrough. "Gravitas enables healthcare stakeholders to
safely and accurately link deidentified datasets, which can help
accelerate clinical research, address health equity and improve
patient outcomes."
One of the key differentiators of the Gravitas Token is its
ability to link patients together across variations in patient
identifiable information.
"Today's tokenization solutions can securely de-identify
healthcare data, but without referential data capabilities that
accommodate for changes in a patient's identifiable information,
they cannot provide the most complete picture of a patient's
journey," said Danielle Walsh,
director, healthcare strategy, Health Care business of LexisNexis
Risk Solutions. "The Gravitas Token uses a proprietary combination
of datasets to create a singular, comprehensive, patient-centric
token that links records across name changes, address changes, and
other data points that impact health to create a truly longitudinal
view of a patient."
