Award-winning insights help identify barriers to care, improve care delivery and create more equitable healthcare options and more diverse clinical research programs.

ATLANTA, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis^® Risk Solutions, a leading provider of data and analytics, today announced that its LexisNexis^® Health Equity and Inclusion Insights has been selected as the winner of the "Best Healthcare Big Data Solution" award in the 8^th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards, an independent market intelligence awards programs that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.

LexisNexis Health Equity and Inclusion Insights provides organizations with comprehensive, actionable, individual-level data on social drivers of health (SDoH).
