In episode 226 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Aaron Neiderhiser, CEO and Co-Founder, of Tuva Health, on transforming healthcare data with an innovative open-source approach.
By providing healthcare organizations with a robust and cost-effective solution rooted in an innovative open-source approach, Tuva Health enables researchers, analysts, and engineers to streamline their data processes and extract critical insights with ease.
Tuva Health takes a novel approach to healthcare data with its Hybrid Data Platform, offering organizations the flexibility to build and control their data infrastructure without starting from scratch.
By leveraging Tuva’s open-source data model and data pipelines, users can efficiently transform claims and clinical data directly within their own data warehouses.
This approach eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional data management, allowing organizations to harmonize, enrich, and validate data while maintaining full control over their infrastructure.
