Protege and HealthWise Data Partner to Bring SDOH Insights to Protege’s Platform

New York, NY and Roswell, GA - December 3, 2024 - Protege, the platform for AI training data, has announced a new strategic partnership with HealthWise Data, a data and analytics firm specializing in social determinants of health (SDOH), including unique individual-level health behavior propensities. Through this collaboration, developers using the Protege platform will gain access to HealthWise Data’s extensive dataset of demographic, lifestyle, adherence, and health equity attributes, which includes data on nearly 250 million U.S. adults.

“Understanding the social and economic factors that affect health is critical to delivering more holistic patient care, but this data has traditionally been fragmented and difficult to source,” said Bobby Samuels, CEO of Protege. “By partnering with HealthWise Data, we’re making a rich and comprehensive SDOH dataset available to AI developers.”

HealthWise Data’s HealthWise360 dataset not only includes hundreds of SDOH attributes (such as gender, ethnicity, education, income and marital status), but also 80+ proprietary propensities around an individual’s likely ailments, health adherence, lifestyle choices, ability to pay for medical expenses, and health equity influences. By incorporating this data into AI models, developers can build solutions that will help healthcare providers improve clinical decision-making, predict health risks, and identify at-risk populations for early intervention. For instance, SDOH data can be used to enhance care coordination by identifying patients who may need social services support due to housing insecurity or transportation barriers. Additionally, it can support the development of models that assess how these social factors influence treatment adherence and long-term patient outcomes.

“Social determinants play an outsized role in shaping health, and without this data, AI models miss a key piece of the picture,” said Anne Smith, CEO and Founder of HealthWise Data. “Through our partnership with Protege, we’re excited to enable AI developers to build solutions that will help clinicians and healthcare organizations address these critical factors and improve the quality of care for all patients.”
