HealthTree Expands Connected Health Systems Network by Integrating Flatiron Health and CareSpace

Details

HealthTree Foundation has significantly expanded its platform's connections, integrating both Flatiron Health and CareSpace electronic health record (EHR) systems into its network. This update extends HealthTree’s reach to over 7,300 connected treatment centers and health systems across the US, supporting more than 800 facilities through these integrations. The core technical mechanism enabling this secure data sharing is the use of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) connections. The platform, known as the Cure Hub, empowers patients to aggregate their own health data, monitor lab results for out-of-range values, and learn from others with similar diagnoses. According to CEO Jenny Ahlstrom, giving patients control over pulling their medical records into a single patient health record is crucial due to regulatory barriers. This centralized approach opens opportunities for using AI for personalized care and accelerates the development of cures. Functionally, the platform offers tools such as a clinical trial finder that automatically matches eligible patients based on profiles, and mechanisms for reporting side effects. Furthermore, it includes a 'Twin machine' feature allowing patients with similar disease histories to exchange experiences, alongside a disease-tracking tool for monitoring health markers and facilitating second opinions. This structure facilitates community-based solutions and active patient participation in the healthcare process.
