What sets Novellia apart is its ability to rapidly aggregate and organize raw longitudinal patient records data across tens of thousands of healthcare systems to generate fit-for-purpose digital registries that can detect care gaps legacy real-world data solutions miss–all the while uncovering actionable insights previously impossible to obtain at scale.

Novellia does this by inviting individuals to seamlessly collect their medical records into its free, AI-enabled personal health records portal. In addition to having their health history in one place and personalized tools to help manage their care journey, Novellia offers people the unique opportunity to anonymously contribute their data to advancing scientific research.
"Having founded and led healthcare technology companies for many years, I've witnessed firsthand the many evolutions of digital medical records and patients' access to data," shared Dr. Yin Ho, Novellia Advisor and Health IT Leader. "I believe Novellia is at the forefront of the next wave of health data innovation.

DH100 Methodology
To compile the DH100, we invited companies to complete an in-depth application with both quantitative and qualitative measures to help us to get to know the company better. We also used our dynamic database of digital health companies in the region to round out the consideration set. A company qualified for consideration if it maintained headquarters or employed at least 5 people in the New York region. Companies that were public or non-profit; founded before 2014; or had an exit were excluded. We evaluated companies on a number of factors, including but not limited to: strength of application, leadership, number of employees, funding, revenue , market fit, differentiated offerings, and community engagement.
