Nashville gets a lot of attention for its successes — the cranes dotting the skyline, the big businesses moving to town. But the city is also facing significant challenges. Housing, a good education and a good wage are out of reach for too many Nashvillians. It’s up to those on our 2023 In Charge list to push the city toward a brighter future.
Current methods of managing healthcare are unsustainable, with chronic disease treatment alone putting a $4 trillion annual strain on the U.S. economy. Healthcare professionals across the board agree that earlier diagnosis, better preventative care, and improved disease management will significantly reduce those costs while improving the lives of millions of Americans. In a healthcare landscape rapidly moving towards personalized patient care, precision medicine offers a unique solution.
Senior digital health and health IT leaders from across the U.S. will convene in Nashville, March 26-29, for ViVE 2023. This year, Decode Health is sponsoring the event as part of the Friends of Project Healthcare Pavilion.
Decode Health was recently honored for its commitment to advancing precision medicine and extraordinary promise for future endeavors with a 2022 Nashville Entrepreneur Center NEXT Award for healthcare innovation.
Decode Health today announced it received a $248,000 one year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to create new methods to distinguish relapsing-remitting and progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
In the U.S., the cost of chronic diseases is more than $3.7T1 annually. Massive amounts of healthcare data are generated through wearable data, healthcare claims, electronic health records, and even complex genomic datasets. By 2025, the average individual will accumulate more than 4,900 daily digital device interactions2. Data alone, however, isn't the answer. The key is to find patterns within the data to proactively intervene and reduce the inefficiency within the $808 billion3 healthcare industry.
The teams at Decode Health and IQuity Labs have collaborated for several years leveraging AI to deliver on the power of genomic data. Today, the companies announced they will now operate as Decode Health.
