In a transformative move to address pervasive issues of clinical bias in healthcare, TruLite Health entered a strategic collaboration with Mayo Clinic. The collaboration implements TruLite’s cutting-edge software, Truity™, which drives patient-specific clinical, social and behavioral interventions to improve patient outcomes and healthcare costs for diverse populations.
Designed for seamless integration into electronic health records, Truity analyzes patient data, such as medical history, demographics and social determinants of health. Data is run through its extensive health equity knowledge base that contains a wealth of resources and clinical guidelines for diverse patient populations. Advanced algorithms generate personalized insights based on the patient’s unique profile, including clinical recommendations, social support and behavioral changes. These recommendations result in enhanced healthcare outcomes and cost savings integral to an organization’s health equity strategy.
As Truity is put into practice, Mayo Clinic’s physicians will actively contribute feedback aimed at refining user experience, streamlining workflows and enhancing the overall platform.
A persistent and costly issue, clinical bias has far-reaching consequences on patient outcomes to the tune of $320 billion annually. A recent TruLite Health actuarial study revealed individuals from Black or Latinx communities with one of seven chronic illnesses incur an additional $5,300 annually compared to white counterparts facing the same conditions.
Truity empowers providers to address disparities at the point of service, ensuring equitable treatment for all patients. Additionally, it aligns with essential regulatory guidelines, including those from the Joint Commission, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, and the Food and Drug Administration.
“Truity marks a pivotal moment in the quest for equitable healthcare that has long plagued our system,” says Alan Roga, M.D., founder and CEO of TruLite. “For the first time, clinicians will have a tool at their fingertips to help them determine the best course of action in treating diverse patient populations.”
Mayo Clinic, globally recognized for healthcare excellence, plays a vital role in this initiative. Its physicians will provide insights and feedback and health equity expertise.
TruLite Health’s commitment to equitable healthcare extends beyond software integration and also offers virtual health equity coaching that emphasizes patient advocacy. Its partnership with the esteemed Morehouse School of Medicine underscores dedication to driving meaningful change.
