Episode notes

The best practice is actually in line with another rule that's coming called TEFCA, the trusted exchange framework and common agreement. And info blocking fits well into this because you can give consumers access through a large rich network. The implications of doing that are complex though, right? What additional liabilities are there? What security risks are we taking? Are we going to send the wrong record to the wrong patient? Is there stuff in this medical record that shouldn't be shared directly with the patient?

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.
