When Full Health Clarity, Inc. was incorporated in September 2023, we knew from the beginning that we needed to create an open, interoperable platform that would work seamlessly with any partner system for inventory management, procedure scheduling, or electronic health records. We also knew that the power in the system would result once medical device identification and tracing became widespread, not just for inventory and supply chain concerns, but also for patient-specific encounter data. Once medical device tracing was fully integrated into the procedure room, we could then collect a unique non-patient identifiable dataset that could be held separately from the creators of the encounter data and aggregated to provide patient-specific medical device encounter data for analytics and machine learning.
