Healthcare management provider ChartSpan has acquired Validic, a global IoT and digital health data platform company.

The combined entity will operate as ChartSpan and will provide clinical services, devices and infrastructure for healthcare clients. It aims to create a unified delivery layer that merges specialized clinical services, clinical care teams, and a broader device-logistics and data-normalization ecosystem.

Validic’s infrastructure will help ChartSpan significantly scale a single, normalized API that interfaces with more than 700 consumer and clinical-grade biomedical devices across 20 million connected lives.

The merger addresses a severe healthcare data gap, by linking traditional chronic care management (CCM) and advanced primary care management (APCM) with continuous remote patient monitoring (RPM).

“Healthcare has historically made decisions based on snapshots of patient health,” said Christine Hawkins, CEO of ChartSpan. “By combining Validic’s personal health data infrastructure with ChartSpan’s clinical services, we’re helping healthcare organizations move from periodic observation to continuous understanding: identifying risk earlier, intervening sooner, and improving outcomes while lowering costs at scale.”

Hawkins went on to say that the partnership creates the foundation to turn health data into “high-precision clinical action” throughout the patient’s journey. The goa is to give ChartSpan’s customers the tools to stay ahead of both acute episodes and chronic disease progression.

Validic CEO Drew Schiller said the company has worked for over a decade to make personal health data accessible and actionable. “We’ve long believed that some of the most important indicators of health exist beyond the walls of the clinic. By joining ChartSpan, we’re combining continuous patient insight with proven clinical services, creating new opportunities for healthcare organizations to identify risk earlier, personalize interventions, and improve outcomes for the populations they serve.”

Critical patient health data often goes undetected between provider visits. ChartSpan’s new combined care management and remote patient monitoring (RPM) seeks to change that by closing the data gap between monthly patient encounters. ChartSpan’s goal is to change monthly patient outreach by bringing together existing chronic care management (CCM) and advanced primary care management (APCM) workflows with the device and data ecosystem of RPM. This will enable a continuously informed clinical experience, where care managers can review biomedical device data and act on it proactively, ChartSpan said.

The combined offering is designed to help healthcare organizations, increases revenue while reducing the total cost of care and preventing costly hospitalizations and ER visits, ChartSpan said. Patients will have a more seamless clinical experience with their existing trusted clinical team, without disruption to customers’ internal workflows.

The acquisition also gives ChartSpan the ability to offer Validic’s product lines to a broader market of health systems, digital health innovators, payers, and life sciences companies. They include a health data API infrastructure, RPM software, and device logistics and support.
