BEKhealth, Innovo Research, and RTI Health Solutions Expand Collaboration to Deliver Community-Based Real-World Evidence to Improve Patient Outcomes
BEKhealth’s AI-powered data platform unites cohort matching to longitudinal real-world data across Innovo’s physician-led network – delivering high-fidelity data evidence generation at scale for the life sciences in collaboration with RTI Health Solutions’ proven scientific and research leadership.
November 4, 2025 – RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC | BEKhealth, a recognized innovator in AI-powered chart abstraction and patient matching, today announced an expanded partnership with Innovo Research and RTI Health Solutions to scale high-fidelity, community-sourced real-world data (RWD) for the life sciences sector. The collaboration sets a new standard for how electronic health record (EHR) data is transformed into actionable intelligence for clinical research and real-world evidence (RWE).
This collaboration builds upon Innovo’s population health focused, clinically integrated research network, which spans 14 multi-specialty practices and health systems across eight states, serving over six million patients. In conjunction with RTI Health Solutions’ extensive expertise in observational and real-world research ensuring patients, regulators and prescribers understand the use, value and safety of products, this initiative is set to enhance the decision-making capabilities of life science and healthcare stakeholders by integrating clinical research into the healthcare continuum.
Why It Matters:
- Dual‑use platform: The same engine that powers precision patient identification and matching for clinical trials also produces research‑grade longitudinal RWD for retrospective and prospective studies.
- Unstructured data depth: BEKhealth’s AI‑powered chart abstraction captures rich endpoints from clinician notes and documents with 96.62% entity‑level accuracy, improving evidence depth and credibility.
- Timely and representative: Direct EHR connectivity from community‑based practices enables near‑real‑time refreshes and a more representative patient population than legacy data sources.
- Network-driven insight: Innovo leverages clinical research across its interconnected network to generate new insights that strengthen value-based care and population health for its partner healthcare organizations.
Together, the organizations are creating a foundation for real-world evidence and observational research that is faster, more inclusive, and more reflective of everyday healthcare delivery and patient care.
“Together with Innovo and RTI Health Solutions, we are unlocking the potential of real-world data to accelerate research and ultimately improve lives,” said David Levin, CEO of BEKhealth. “By unifying cohort matching with longitudinal real-world data we can help researchers and healthcare leaders answer tougher questions sooner and with greater confidence.”
“We built Innovo to embed research into routine patient care and population health workflows,” said Jeff James, Co‑founder and CEO of Innovo Research. “Working with BEKhealth and RTI Health Solutions ensures that insights from community physician practices, reflecting the diversity of everyday patients, directly shape study design, enrollment, and outcomes research, while assisting in both value-based care and population health.”
“Our life science clients demand scientific rigor and real‑world relevance,” said Chris Simmons, Head of RTI Health Solutions. “This collaboration pairs RTI Health Solutions’ observational research expertise with BEKhealth’s AI‑enabled EHR data pipeline and Innovo’s community footprint to deliver high‑quality, actionable evidence at scale.”
BEKhealth’s Continued Growth
To support its expansion in connecting real-time clinical insights for research and real-world evidence generation, BEKhealth recently completed a $5 million financing. This investment accelerates the collaboration into its next phase, advancing BEKhealth’s vision to transform medical data and broaden access to clinical research and real-world evidence. By unlocking richer insights from everyday clinical practice and making these insights accessible to trusted research partners, BEKhealth is advancing a future where discoveries happen faster, studies reflect true patient populations, and breakthroughs reach communities that need them most.
