Century Health to Curate Real World EHR Data for MS Research and Treatments. by Fred Pennic 01/17/2025 Leave a Comment. What You Should Know: – Century Health, a provider in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to real-world data for research acceleration, and Nira Medical, a national leader in neurological care delivery, announced a strategic partnership to advance the understanding of multiple sclerosis (MS) and improve patient outcomes.– The collaboration will leverage Century Health’s AI platform to curate and structure data from over 3,000 MS patients treated within Nira Medical’s network of clinics. This enriched dataset will then be analyzed in partnership with life sciences companies to accelerate research into MS treatment and improve patient care.Unlocking the Potential of Real-World DataElectronic health records (EHRs) hold a wealth of information that can be invaluable for medical research. However, a significant portion of this data is unstructured and difficult to analyze, limiting its potential to drive meaningful insights.Century Health’s AI-powered platform addresses this challenge by automating the curation and enrichment of both retrospective and prospective EHR data. This process transforms unstructured data into a usable format, allowing researchers to extract valuable insights and answer complex questions about disease progression, treatment effectiveness, and patient outcomes.Accelerating MS Research and Improving Patient OutcomesThis partnership will initially focus on MS due to the significant patient population within Nira Medical’s network and the availability of numerous therapies for analysis

Based on data from Nira Medical's network of clinics, Century Health's AI platform will create structured datasets that will be analyzed in partnership with life sciences companies to accelerate research into MS treatment and improve patient outcomes.While electronic health records (EHRs) hold immense potential for accelerating research and improving patient care , much of their data remains inaccessible and difficult to analyze. An estimated 80 percent of data is unstructured, often locked away in siloed systems. With access to rich information about patient care that structured data often misses, researchers can answer more detailed and complex questions to generate new insights on care and treatment.Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) platforms have shown promise in unlocking this data's full potential, by structuring and abstracting data in a way that would be almost impossible for human practitioners to do at scale.Century Health's HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2-certified AI platform will curate and enrich both retrospective and prospective EHR data. Reflecting their shared commitment to the highest standards of patient privacy and data security, Century Health and Nira Medical adhere to strict protocols to ensure data is de-identified in accordance with HIPAA guidelines, including removal of all patient-identifiable information
