The integration of DigitalOwl and Ontellus will redefine health record retrieval and data analysis for the legal and insurance industries.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)- Datavant, a leading healthcare data collaboration platform, today announced an agreement to acquire DigitalOwl, a leader in AI-powered medical data analysis. This acquisition will enhance Datavant’s ability to deliver accessible and actionable health data for the legal and insurance sectors.
Today’s medical record reviews are often slow, error-prone, and costly—delaying case resolutions for legal clients and claim approvals for insurance members, with expenses frequently passed on to consumers. Datavant aims to address these challenges by combining DigitalOwl’s proprietary technology with Ontellus’ health record retrieval and claims intelligence solutions to create a comprehensive, end-to-end data collaboration platform. This secure platform will feature managed retrieval, automated summaries, chronology and de-duplication, as well as AI-driven predictive analytics. Leveraging its strong expertise in the secure and compliant exchange of medical data, Datavant will curate and deliver information seamlessly to authorized users.
“Legal and insurance clients want a streamlined way to locate, access, and analyze specific medical information from the overwhelming volume of structured and unstructured data,” said Kyle Armbrester, CEO of Datavant. “DigitalOwl’s extraction and summarization technology is purpose-built for these needs. When combined with Ontellus’ solutions and Datavant’s record exchange platform and extensive provider network, we will reshape a market that is ready for transformation.”
DigitalOwl’s proprietary AI-powered data extraction technology organizes and annotates unstructured medical records, simplifying reviews and equipping teams with actionable insights. Continuously enhanced by an in-house team of data scientists and industry experts with deep knowledge of insurance and legal workflows, the platform ensures insights are contextualized and delivered in practical, decision-ready formats. Recognized as the 2025 Natural Language Generation Platform of the Year for Medical Record Reviews, DigitalOwl is driving innovation in this space.
“Manually reviewing medical records to extract critical information for underwriting, legal cases, and claims is both time-intensive and expensive,” said Yuval Man, CEO of DigitalOwl. “Our focus has been on leveraging advanced technology to automate these manual processes and resolve key workflow challenges. Partnering with Datavant will allow us to accelerate this mission and create even greater value for our customers and partners.”
