OMNY HEALTH LAUNCHES DYNAMIC GLP-1 NETWORK
OF 600,000+ PATIENTS TO FUEL CLINICAL RESEARCH ON ITS USE
New Studies on the Use of These Medications in
Adult and Pediatric Populations are Supported by the Data
Network
OMNY Health, the leading healthcare ecosystem known for
facilitating compliant cross-industry data partnerships, today
announced the launch of its Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) data
network, further cementing the company’s commitment to
democratizing healthcare data across industries. This new data
network comprised already of over half a million patients will
supply its life sciences and health system partners, as well as its
AI-driven health tech partners, with additional knowledge of GLP-1
use, related social determinants of health (SDOH), and patient
demographics to better inform generative AI tools, researchers, and
clinicians and improve patient outcomes.
Despite a staggering amount of healthcare data being generated
across health systems and life sciences companies, 97% of this data
goes unused. This underutilization is particularly crucial as the
usage of GLP-1 agonists surge, driven by their effectiveness in
treating chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The growing demand for these medications has sparked an urgent need
for more comprehensive data that evaluates their effectiveness and
long-term effects for other conditions like cardiovascular disease,
liver disease, and skin disorders.
"GLP-1 therapies are transforming the treatment landscape across
multiple conditions beyond diabetes and obesity in profound ways.
The systemic impact of these medications underlines the need for
more comprehensive data to fully understand how these therapies
affect patients as a whole,” said Dr. Mitesh Rao, CEO of OMNY
Health. “By democratizing data partnerships between life sciences
companies and health systems, we can enable more in-depth clinical
research that will fuel healthcare innovation and revolutionize the
potential impact of GLP-1's for years to come.”
OMNY’s GLP-1 data network consists of curated EMR data from more
than 645,000 patients representing a broad set of demographic
characteristics, including age ranges, race/ethnicity, region of
care delivery, as well as provider and payer types. The data
network supported two recent studies that address gaps in
understanding GLP-1 therapies, particularly within pediatric and
patient populations impacted by SDOH factors enabling partner
companies to better understand and apply findings to patient
treatments.
Pediatric use of GLP-1s was not approved by the FDA until
December 2022, making data on these use-cases extremely limited
despite the prescriptions of GLP-1RAs for children and adolescents
increasing by 594.4% from 2020 to 2023. OMNY’s GLP-1 network
contains valuable information on pediatric GLP-1 use, enabling a
study that found the median age of users was 16 years and the
majority were female in gender (72%).
"We are able to deliver more equitable clinical outcomes when
the research is backed by data from diverse populations,” said Dr.
Sameer Badlani, Fairview Health Services’ Executive Vice President,
and Chief Strategy Officer. “With access to data that factors in
SDOH for diverse populations we learn valuable insights in service
of providing resources and clinical care that is differentiated by
excellence in quality, safety, experience and health equity for
every consumer who trusts us with their wellness and care.”
OMNY’s network also provides critical information on SDOH
factors, including economic insecurity, food insecurity, and social
isolation often documented in clinician notes. With many of these
factors accounting for up to 50% of the variation in health
outcomes in the US, it was crucial that the SDOH status of patients
receiving GLP-1 treatment be made available. A second study by OMNY
found that GLP-1 patients were half as likely to have SDOH economic
burden issues noted in their EHR record as compared the population
of non-users.
OMNY’s data network enables companies to diversify their patient
populations for clinical trials, better understand medication
interactions, and strengthen treatment outcomes.
This announcement follows OMNY’s partnerships with QuantHealth,
the leading AI-driven clinical trial design company, and
ArisGlobal, a technology company at the forefront of life sciences
and the creator of LifeSphere®. OMNY Health is committed to
AI-enabled healthcare improvement and supporting research programs
that aim to improve clinical care. To learn more about how OMNY
