JACKSONVILLE, Fla. , Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearsense®, a technology company that partners with health care organizations to drive more value from their data, announced a new partnership and licensing agreement with UPMC Enterprises. This agreement will allow Clearsense to integrate the unstructured data platform developed by the UPMC Enterprises team into Clearsense's end-to-end data management platform, used by over 400 hospitals across the United States.

"Understanding unstructured data is an essential part of interpreting and analyzing patient information," said Gene Scheurer, chief executive officer of Clearsense.

The UPMC-created platform seamlessly integrates with the Clearsense platform and collection tools, enabling health care partners to dive deeper into the data they need to make smarter clinical, operational, and financial decisions."
