Clinical notes make up a massive portion of healthcare data, but they are often left out of analytics because of their unstructured format. By acquiring Kaid Health, PurpleLab is aiming to fix that gap.
Its HealthNexus platform already integrates billions of standardized, HIPAA-compliant data points. With Kaid Health’s Whole Chart Analysis, it can now interpret free-text medical records, giving healthcare providers a 360-degree view of patient journeys.
“We are reshaping PurpleLab into a healthcare intelligence company powered by AI. This acquisition allows us to move beyond numbers and codes into the full story of patient care,” said Mark Brosso, CEO of PurpleLab.
According to Kevin Agatstein, founder and CEO of Kaid Health, the partnership is about scale and impact. “Our technology makes unstructured data usable. By joining PurpleLab, we can ensure that these insights reach across the healthcare landscape, improving decisions for patients and providers alike.”
For policymakers, health systems, and life sciences, the merger signals a shift in what healthcare analytics can achieve. It’s not only about efficiency—it’s about unlocking intelligence from every corner of the medical record.
