Enterprise analytics company Clarify Health has secured $115 million in series C funding to scale its self-service healthcare analytics cloud and business software. Clarify Health combines longitudinal data for more than 300 million "unique patient lives" from government and commercial claims, electronic health records (EHRs) and prescriptions, according to the company. These data can help healthcare professionals manage population health and commercialize pharmaceutical and biotechnology products. "By linking CMS claims data with commercial claims, EHR, prescription and socioeconomic data, our models are trained on large cohorts and a more complete picture of each patient's longitudinal healthcare journey," Clarify Health CEO Jean Drouin, M.D., told Fierce Healthcare. The San Francisco-based company was launched in 2015 and has raised $178 million to date, according to Crunchbase.
