Datavant Connect: Linkage Solutions

Datavant Connect: Linkage Solutions is a data connectivity platform designed for healthcare and life sciences organizations that need to tokenize, discover, and link real-world data (RWD) while preserving patient privacy and maintaining regulatory compliance. The platform serves a broad range of enterprise users — including pharmaceutical companies, clinical research teams, and real-world data ecosystem participants — who require a flexible, scalable infrastructure for building and executing data strategies across multiple partners and workflows.

At its core, Datavant Connect helps organizations balance data utility with data privacy by enabling patient-level dataset linkage without exposing personally identifiable information. With access to more than 350 real-world data partners and a track record of supporting all 20 of the top pharmaceutical companies, Datavant Connect operates as the industry's largest and most established health data ecosystem.

Core Platform Capabilities

• Tokenize data: Datavant Connect provides tokenization software that uses personally identifiable information (PII) to generate encrypted, interoperable, and site-specific tokens that are unique and irreversible. The software can be deployed on-premise via command-line interface (CLI), a desktop UI, or within an organization's own cloud environment, offering maximum deployment flexibility.
• Explore data partners: Users can navigate the expanding real-world data ecosystem to find fit-for-purpose data sources, gain exposure to data buyers, and visualize metadata and overlap across multiple datasets simultaneously, simplifying the process of identifying the right data partnerships.
• Connect datasets: Datavant Connect enables compliant, patient-level linkage of datasets — even when PII has changed over time. The platform uses machine learning and referential data to surface more high-quality matches while addressing compliance requirements at every step of the process.

Enterprise Data Strategy Features

• Optimize for scale: The platform provides flexible data infrastructure suitable for initiatives of any size, with built-in project management tools to help teams organize partners and workflows across the enterprise.
• Solve the compliance bottleneck: Expert-led privacy technology accelerates the process of complying with HIPAA de-identification standards, reducing the time and complexity typically associated with regulatory requirements.
• Maintain flexibility of choice: Datavant's neutral ecosystem and ubiquitous token allow organizations to collaborate with a broader range of partners and generate more robust insights than competing platforms.
