Health data is one of the most valuable and sensitive types of information in the world. It can help diagnose diseases, discover new treatments, improve quality of care, and empower patients. However, health data is also fragmented, siloed, and often inaccessible to the people who need it most. This creates inefficiencies, errors, and missed opportunities in the healthcare system.
Datavant is a company that aims to solve this problem by building the technical infrastructure to power the seamless and compliant exchange of health data. Datavant’s technology enables patients, providers, payers, health data analytics companies, patient-facing applications, government agencies, and life science companies to securely exchange their patient-level data. By connecting the world’s health data, Datavant hopes to improve patient outcomes and advance medical research.
Datavant was founded in 2017 by Travis May and Aneesh Chopra, who saw the potential of using data to transform healthcare. Since then, the company has grown rapidly, doubling its team size and revenue every year. In 2021, Datavant merged with Ciox Health, the leader in clinical data exchange, creating the nation’s largest health data ecosystem with a $5B valuation. The combined company has access to more than 20,000 hospitals and clinics, 120 health plans, 100 health data analytics companies, and 30 life science companies.
Datavant is a fully remote team of 500 employees distributed across the US, Canada, and Europe. The company values diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. Datavant hires for the potential to excel in a role, and encourages applicants who may not “tick all of the boxes.” Datavant believes that health decisions for all patients should be powered by the right data, in the right format, at the right time.
Datavant’s culture is driven by three core principles: be smart, be nice, and get things done. Datavanters are passionate about their work, collaborative with their colleagues, and accountable for their results. They are also empowered to bring their authentic selves to their work and have fun along the way. Datavanters enjoy perks such as unlimited vacation, flexible hours, wellness stipends, learning opportunities, and social events.
