Clarivate Analytics launches Cortellis Digital Health Intelligence, a first-of-its-kind solution covering the global digital health ecosystem

Sets life sciences industry standard as the single source of worldwide insights on digital health
Integrates with other Cortellis solutions to span the entire development and commercialization lifecycle

LONDON and PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Analytics plc (NYSE:CCC; CCC.WS), a global leader in providing trusted insights and analytics to accelerate the pace of innovation, today expanded its industry-leading life science intelligence offerings with the launch of Cortellis Digital Health Intelligence. This new, first-of-its-kind solution will help drug, device and technology developers navigate the dynamic digital health landscape with intelligence focused on virtual, consumer-centric solutions (including both hardware and software) that enable health management or patient care in real-life settings.

The launch of Cortellis Digital Health Intelligence comes at a time when the industry is experiencing growth in digital health and patients are actively integrating technologies into their healthcare. In the US alone, 64% of patients have adopted a digital device (including mobile apps) to manage their health,¹ and 62% of healthcare systems and hospitals use digital health devices in their clinical care programs.²

Globally, more than 800 clinical trials adopted a smartphone, wearable, and/or monitoring device in their protocol,³ and this number is expected to increase significantly. These market dynamics demonstrate the need for better information and more robust analytics on digital technologies used in drug/device development and patient-centric care.

"Existing life science intelligence providers offer point solutions with limited coverage and lack evidence of clinical efficacy, making it nearly impossible for drug and device researchers to make data-driven decisions in this important space," says Mukhtar Ahmed, President, Life Sciences at Clarivate Analytics.  "Cortellis Digital Health Intelligence builds on our rich tradition of helping to accelerate innovation through novel solutions and data types.  We're at the forefront of the next evolution in life sciences and uniquely capable of helping customers make well-informed decisions in an area that, until now, has been difficult to analyze."
