How Verinovum Helps Improve Healthcare with Cleaner, Enriched Data

Verinovum is a healthcare data curation and enrichment company that aims to improve outcomes for common diseases by providing clean, complete, and accurate clinical data. Founded in 2013, the company gathers clinical data from disparate sites, aggregates and cleans it, then provides it to clients for initiatives like risk assessments and population health programs. Verinovum's biggest challenge is maintaining performance while keeping up with the scale and volume of incoming data. The company uses Cassandra, a distributed database system, which has helped improve flexibility in their data model and save time on data modeling. They also partnered with DataStax to better utilize Cassandra and optimize their platform for high-volume transactions. By providing cleaner, enriched data, Verinovum helps insurance companies, healthcare providers, and patients by enabling early disease detection and intervention, ultimately reducing healthcare costs.
