Introducing the Particle Insights Platform

Particle Health was founded in 2018 with a simple but ambitious mission: to make accessing medical records a whole lot easier. The idea was to provide a single, secure point where healthcare providers could tap into records from health information exchanges without complicated, fragmented data messes. 

Fast forward a few years, and Particle has become a leader in clinical data access. We’re known for our easy-to-use APIs and our proprietary Record Locator Service, which pulls patient records from an expansive network of providers nationwide. But as we grew, we realized something crucial: data connectivity was just the start. Our customers needed an end-to-end solution that would cleanse and contextualize data to help them address key challenges.

Enter Particle Insights Platform

Today, we don’t just give you access to 320M+ patient records—we transform them. The Particle Insights Platform turns clinical data into a powerful resource, whether it’s being used directly for clinical use cases or to train cutting-edge AI models. Our platform is built on three foundational pillars that elevate medical record data:

• Enhanced data quality: We ensure maximum value by parsing and making available the most critical data elements.
• Data enrichment: By integrating additional sources, we create a more complete picture of patient health.
• Improved usability: Through features like normalization, deduplication, and more, we make the data actionable and easy to work with.

All of these improvements have been rolled into our upgraded platform experience, including four unique ways to tap into the insights you need:

• Snapshot — Capture relevant details with AI-powered summarization
• Signal — Get proactive notifications with key clinical context
• Navigator — Understand when and where patients seek care
• Workbench — Build custom analytics and fuel innovations at scale

‍Who is Particle’s Platform built for?  

Particle’s Platform connects providers, developers, health systems, and care teams across the healthcare ecosystem to valuable insights derived from comprehensive clinical history. We know each market has different needs when it comes to clinical insights, which is why we’ve curated use-case based analytics oriented around risk management and timely intervention that sit on top of a patient’s comprehensive health history.

Value-based care

5% of the population accounts for over half of all healthcare spending, making effective management of high-risk patients essential for value-based care organizations. Particle empowers VBC organizations by providing comprehensive, longitudinal patient histories, enabling providers to quickly understand patient needs and craft personalized, effective treatment plans. With this deep insight, providers can identify high-risk and high-utilizer patients early on, setting the stage for proactive intervention. By enrolling these patients in real-time alerts, care teams receive critical updates—like discharge summaries, open care gaps, specialist visits, and medication changes—exactly when they need them, driving timely interventions that reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.

Unlock even more value with Snapshot and Signal.

Health systems

Today, health systems are constrained by outdated insights from unidentified, delayed claims data. Particle is transforming this approach by providing real-time visibility into the entire patient care journey. With a deeper understanding of patient behavior, health systems can strategically grow while empowering patient navigation teams to optimize outreach efforts. By ensuring critical care stays in-network, Particle helps drive better patient engagement and system-wide efficiency, setting a new standard for proactive, data-driven patient management.

Payers

Over the last 10 years, payers have pursued vertical integration through acquisition or development of provider groups in order to improve the quality of care for their member population. Data driven insights are crucial for enabling the collaboration and partnership of these two entities that have historically operated in siloes, especially as payers and providers function in more value-based arrangements. Particle places clinical insights at the center of payer-provider workflows by delivering comprehensive, longitudinal data that enables accurate risk assessments, identifies care gaps, and supports proactive patient management. With real-time alerts, Particle helps reduce readmissions, optimize care transitions, and align provider performance—ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and stronger value-based partnerships.

Developers

Organizations building custom solutions across various use cases for their downstream customers need more flexibility when it comes to accessing underlying clinical data. As experts in healthcare data refinement, we understand how time consuming data cleansing can be which is why we provide easy-to-use building blocks—like SDKs, APIs, data marts, and condition-specific data schemas—so developers can focus on building custom solutions.
