OMNY Health launches new GI real-world data solutions in partnership with leading US gastroenterology practices

new GI real-world data solutions

OMNY Health’s GI partnerships are a pivotal step in its mission to deliver data and insights to accelerate life-changing innovation. With a focus on catalyzing research and improving outcomes, OMNY aims to make a tangible difference for the millions of individuals in the US impacted by gastroenterology diseases

ATLANTA, GA, April 22, 2024 – OMNY Health is pleased to announce its partnership with the nation’s leading community-based independent gastroenterology (GI) practices and integrated delivery networks (IDNs) to launch a novel set of real-world data and evidence solutions for research. Over 5,000 GI providers serving more than 10 million patients are now part of OMNY’s research network, representing care delivery by over 380,000 providers and 75 million patients across the US. The focus on GI practice data is a notable expansion to OMNY’s real-world data ecosystem, which works with providers to support compliant research partnerships at scale. OMNY works with the health systems to enable insights on patient population characteristics, care delivery patterns, and treatment outcomes based on data extracted from de-identified inpatient and ambulatory care electronic health records (EHRs). OMNY’s solutions deliver valuable information on disease severity, rationale behind treatment decisions, treatment efficacy, and impact of social determinants on treatment selection and disease progression. By integrating disparate EHRs into unified, de-identified research data products, OMNY offers researchers and providers the breadth and depth of information needed to address their biomedical and population health research questions.

“United Digestive remains committed to offering our patients the most suitable and cost- effective healthcare solutions. Our dedication to delivering best-in-class GI care is intricately linked with our data-driven approach,” says United Digestive’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. John Suh. “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with OMNY Health, which allows us to drive further insights from our data to advance patient care.”

“As Florida’s leading gastroenterology provider, Borland Groover’s mission is to provide exceptional care and improve the lives of our patients. Achieving this objective requires a deep understanding of our patients, patterns of care, outcomes, and opportunities for further improvement through data analysis,” said Borland Groover’s CEO, Dr. Kyle Etzkorn. “Our collaboration with OMNY not only aligns with our mission, but it also presents avenues to identify and pursue future opportunities for elevating GI patient care.”

“Enhancing patient care isn’t just a goal; it’s our responsibility, guided by the personal experiences of every patient we serve. Each piece of patient data is not just a statistic; it is a pathway to better outcomes, a testament to our commitment, and a source of inspiration for ongoing progress” said Christa Newton, MBA, CEO, OneGI. “We are excited to partner with OMNY as a tangible step in realizing these guiding principles for the benefit of our patients.”

“It is important to One GI that our patients are represented when it comes to emerging research, care improvement initiatives, and best in class care. Our partnership with OMNY helps ensure our providers have the data and support they need to deliver easy to access exceptional GI care.” – Dr. Michael Dragutsky, Founder, Chairman, OneGI. Key populations available in the GI specialty offerings are aligned with the significant research and development efforts underway in gastroenterology, including ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, short bowel syndrome, reflux disorders, and many others. Like other OMNY Health specialty-focused solutions, the GI offering includes information covering pharmacy orders, lab and diagnostic test results, comorbidities, symptom checklists, and provider clinical assessment scores. “We are thrilled to welcome our new gastroenterology providers to our network. Over the past two years, we have made great strides connecting researchers and providers participating in our dermatology and ophthalmology research networks. We look forward to building on that impact in the field of gastroenterology,” said Mitesh Rao, MD, CEO, OMNY Health.

Linking Real-World Clinical Data with Medical Device Data to Demonstrate Device Value

Clinical Data, Medical Device

Real-World Data in the Medical Device Market

Many life sciences organizations are focused on harnessing real-world data (RWD) capabilities to inform every part of the drug development product life cycle. The same types of RWD can, and should, be applied to innovation around the development and measurement of the effects of medical devices. RWD derived from healthcare sources, such as electronic health records, provides insights into the burden of disease, and after a device market launch, provides insights into competitive stance, safety, efficacy, and outcomes. Traditionally, these types of analyses have been difficult to perform for medical devices because the specific details surrounding the medical device make, model, and manufacturer used in procedures are often buried in the electronic health record or other IT systems, and historically have not been collected uniformly. 

Medical Devices in the Real World

Medical Devices have become a critical part of a patient’s daily life, and how patients interact with these devices can tell us a lot about their effectiveness. From joint replacements to life-saving arterial stents and pacemakers, device manufacturers are interested in the benefit-risk profiles to inform future device modifications and technological advancements, Providers can glean important evidence for the clinical effectiveness of these devices, helping to inform what devices to use in their procedures. 

Medical device manufacturers are motivated to invest in new strategies to support success. According to McKinsey, despite a period of growth from 2012 through 2019, S&P medical device investments slowed during the pandemic. Recently, however, signs have been promising; in 2023, the U.S. approved more novel medical technologies than in any single year before, and revenue growth rates are starting to stabilize to pre-pandemic levels. 

Aggregation of RWD to Inform Device Safety and Evidence for Effectiveness

Using relevant and reliable RWD is important for generating RWE to understand and regulate medical device usage and safety. To get a complete picture of the patient’s use and interaction with a medical device, RWD from clinically relevant sources is required to give a holistic view of the clinical experience both before device implant/initiation and after usage has been initiated. The ability to combine disparate data from multiple sources and care settings is where OMNY Health excels.
