The Health Care business of LexisNexis Risk Solutions has been named a 2022 MedTech Breakthrough Award recipient for its next-generation tokenization solution, LexisNexis® Gravitas™. As an independent market intelligence organization, MedTech Breakthrough recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global health and medical technology market.

LexisNexis Gravitas includes a first of its kind, patent pending token that provides advanced data de-identification technology at the patient level with unmatched precision. The Gravitas Token offers the ability to enhance a de-identified patient record with other elements such as social determinants of health information, medical claims data and mortality data, providing a more comprehensive view of an individual, while maintaining strict compliance with security and non-reidentification requirements. This complete view is critical for decision-makers and researchers involved in clinical settings as they seek to uncover more effective, data-driven outcomes.

"The healthcare industry collects and stores incredible amounts of data, yet very little of it can be shared due to HIPAA and other privacy regulations," said Jeff Diamond, president, Health Care business of LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "The Gravitas Token maintains compliance with those restrictions¹ while also liberating that data to be used for its intended purpose—to deliver better, more effective, patient-centric care."

This year's MedTech Breakthrough Awards program attracted more than 3,900 nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.

"This smart token technology from LexisNexis Risk Solutions represents a true breakthrough moment for healthcare" said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. "Gravitas enables healthcare stakeholders to safely and accurately link deidentified datasets, which can help accelerate clinical research, address health equity and improve patient outcomes."
