The insurance technology vendor plans to integrate Prognos Health’s data with its medical underwriting solution, SAIL.

The integration is expected to enable access to medical records on 325 million de-identified US patients via the Prognos Marketplace.

Gradient AI, which already provides medical and prescription claims data, will now be able to provide lab data to insurance providers, aiding them in making more informed decisions.

Gradient AI founder and CEO Stan Smith said: “Our combined solution will provide a holistic picture of group health risk that has never before been possible. Insurers will now have a single point of access to multiple data sources, covering medical, prescription and lab data improving their abilities to project group health assessments and costs with much greater confidence.”
