Our origin story
Truveta began as an idea within Providence in 2018. They knew there were valuable needles of insights buried within the haystacks of data they managed – answers on how to best treat patients, cure diseases, and best serve their communities – yet they could not access them. After working on their concept, they realized two things: the data set needed to be much larger to statistically serve all patients and building a data platform to make sense of the data would require significant technical expertise and investment.
CEO Terry Myerson joined the Truveta mission in March 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic began ravaging our country and our world, families struggled to safely protect each other with well-intended, but conflicting guidance. Physicians struggled to learn how to treat this virus as hundreds of thousands died. Life science companies struggled to staff clinical trials with enough diverse participants to effectively test and garner approval of life-saving vaccines. The world needed faster answers, clearer guidance, and the opportunity to learn from each other. It became clear – the world needed Truveta.
In September 2020, the company was founded with Providence, Advocate Aurora Health, Tenet Health, and Trinity Health. Soon after, with a vision of together Saving Lives with Data, innovative health providers like AdventHealth, Baptist Health of Northeast Florida, Bon Secours Mercy Health, CommonSpirit Health, Hawaii Pacific Health, Henry Ford Health System, Memorial Hermann Health System, Northwell Health, Novant Health, Sentara Healthcare joined in the formation of Truveta. And from there, our Health System community has grown with new members which share our vision of Savings Lives with Data.
Terry Myerson is a founder and CEO of Truveta, the world’s first health data and analytics solution to study patient care and outcomes. Truveta was formed and governed by more than 25 US health systems with a shared vision of saving lives with data. Truveta’s members provide 16% of patient care in the United States in more than 20,000 clinics and 700 hospitals. De-identified data from this care is provided to Truveta daily. Truveta offers the most complete, timely, and highest quality data on U.S. health empowering researchers to discover insights on yesterday’s care, today.
A leader for teams responsible for some of the world’s most popular technology platforms, Terry Myerson enjoyed a 21-year career at Microsoft. As Executive Vice President, Terry led the development of Windows, Surface, Xbox, and the early days of Office 365. Serving on the Senior Leadership Team, Terry played a pivotal role in developing the strategy for Microsoft alongside CEO Satya Nadella. Terry excelled at managing large teams at scale, tackling complex software challenges, and driving growth in partnership with the technology ecosystem.Â
After leaving Microsoft in 2018, Terry joined the Madrona Venture Group and the Carlyle Group as an advisor to their investment teams and portfolio companies. He enjoys learning about new technology, particularly at the intersection of data and life sciences, and helping new companies succeed. He continues with both firms today as an advisor.Â
An entrepreneur at heart, prior to Microsoft Terry cofounded Intersé, one of the earliest internet companies, which Microsoft acquired in 1997.Â
Terry is a graduate of Duke University and a current member of the Duke Engineering Board of Visitors.
