[{"type":"text","content":" DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nPalantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) today announced its partnership with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to establish the Center for Linkage and Acquisition of Data (CLAD) as part of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) All of Us Research Program. All of Us is a historic research effort to drive new scientific discoveries and advance precision medicine and research. The center will connect new types of information to All of Us participant data to help researchers better understand the drivers of health and disease.\n\n\nUnlike research studies that focus on a singular disease or group of people, the All of Us program is informing thousands of studies on a variety of health conditions. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Palantir and other partners will work with All of Us to configure a secure platform for processing new data streams.\n\n\nThe CLAD team will be responsible for securely integrating health care claims and mortality data, as well as initial environmental data based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Environmental Justice Index. CLAD awardees will also explore ways to overcome the technical challenges associated with linking electronic health record (EHR) data from health information networks for participants who have consented to share this information. While most participants agree to share EHR data, the program is seeking ways to improve data completeness using national health information exchange standards.\n\n\n“The approach to data collection for the Center for Linkage and Acquisition of Data will allow the program to maximize participants’ data and expand the utility of the All of Us dataset without asking more of our participants,” said Chris Lunt, chief technology officer of the All of Us Research Program. “This will enable All of Us data to answer questions researchers don’t yet have the means to investigate.”\n\n\nAs part of this effort, Palantir’s software will serve as the interoperable, digital backbone of the CLAD platform, securely connecting these new types of information to All of Us participant data to provide researchers more information to better understand the factors that influence health. Palantir’s software is able to securely ingest, harmonize, evaluate, and assess the quality of the new data sources, w...
