Palo Alto, CA, December 14, 2022 – Lynx.MD today announced a partnership with Gastro Health, a leading U.S. medical group specializing in digestive and liver health, to create the largest repository of real-world clinical data in the gastroenterology space for research and development of new GI solutions. Gastro Health will use the Lynx platform across its practices to support research and development of GI-specific (Digital) tools to advance its mission to provide outstanding medical care and an exceptional healthcare experience to all of their patients.

“At Gastro Health we understand that harnessing the power of data and modern computing can support the delivery of transformational tools and insights to support clinicians and inform the delivery of the best possible patient care,” said Rich Weissmark, Sr. VP of Strategic Operations at Gastro Health. “We selected Lynx.MD’s medical intelligence platform to achieve efficiencies across our data network and for the possibilities it opens up to safely and securely collaborate with healthcare partners across the continuum of care to provide preventative and predictive medicine.”

“The fundamental business model of gastroenterology has changed dramatically in the last few years. Practice consolidation and advances in health IT, both provide opportunities to analyze the value gastroenterologists provide to our patients,” said Dr. John Allen, former chair of the American Gastroenterological Association and professor at the University of Michigan, advisory board member at Lynx.MD. “Gastro Health is a large, multi-state GI practice where patients’ health journeys are documented in a single electronic medical record. They have partnered with Lynx.MD, whose technology enables secure data extractions and sorting from multiple clinical and administrative databases and convert it into robust information, to gain insight into the longitudinal impact of care and enable improved point-of-care decision support.”

The partnership will create one of the largest repositories of structured and unstructured GI-related medical datasets providing researchers with the data they need to improve outcomes for gastrointestinal patients globally. The Lynx platform provides advanced firewall algorithms and the application of medical-grade cybersecurity protection protocols, enabling partners to securely collaborate with de-identified, real-world data. Gastro Health maintains full control of what data is anonymized and when and with whom data is shared. The actual data never leaves Gastro Health’s private cloud environment. Researchers receive secure permissioned access to perform large-scale computations, modeling, and analysis within the platform.
