Episode notes

I can't recount how many companies I met in the healthcare space that was like, we're going to give patients access to their data in this app for free. And maybe it was just wrong timing, right? But maybe like, I'm curious, do you think it's all about timing? Why do you think you guys have succeeded and others haven't? Timing. Yeah, no, for sure. What we're doing now is not possible like a year ago, just because the rules were not the rules yet.

This week, we’re super excited to chat with Troy Bannister, CEO and Co-Founder of Particle Health, a user-friendly API platform shaping the new standard for healthcare data exchange. Founded in 2018, Particle Health’s comprehensive API uniquely combines data from 270 million plus patients’ medical records by aggregating and unifying healthcare records from thousands of sources. With this approach providers are able to easily obtain clinical data points without complex technology integrations, putting actionable patient health data at their fingertips.

In this episode, we learn about Particle Health’s founding story, define healthcare data access and frameworks and the regulatory tailwinds for healthcare data access in the broader healthcare system. Is healthcare ready for the blockchain? We find out here!

Particle Health raised $25M to accelerate their platform growth from Canvas Ventures. The financing brings the organization’s total capital raised to $39M.
