We Unlock the Power of Data to Improve Health
At Prognos Health, our mission is to unlock the power of
data to improve health. We’re the most trusted provider of
actionable real-world data (RWD) in the life sciences
industry, so our clients can spend their time on the
insights that improve patient outcomes, not on wrangling
data.
Our clinically focused analytics platform queries
patient-centric data to answer key healthcare questions in
minutes. It draws on a growing marketplace of datasets,
including laboratory records, medical claims and
prescription claims, so customers can address a wide range
of commercial and clinical use cases, from sales and
marketing analytics to clinical strategy.
Prognos is growing and we are redefining the market for
actionable lab data in life sciences. As we scale, we stay
grounded in our values: we are Passionate, Collaborative,
Lifelong Learners and Customer Obsessed. At Prognos you’ll
join a team that takes ownership, serves customers
selflessly (we call it SEVA) and works where every
contribution makes an immediate impact.
