Merative

Merative is a premier data, technology, and analytics partner built to unlock the true value of health and social care information across the global healthcare ecosystem. Formerly known as IBM Watson Health before becoming a standalone entity backed by Francisco Partners, Merative combines nearly fifty years of industry experience with advanced cloud-based software and data models. The company serves more than 12,000 customers globally, including 40% of Fortune 100 employers, the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, state and local government agencies, and 9 of the top 10 hospitals in the United States, helping them turn fragmented data into actionable clinical and operational decisions.

Merative's diverse product portfolio is built around specialized legacy platforms that target distinct operational needs within health and human services. These include Micromedex for evidence-based clinical decision support and medication safety at the point of care, Zelta for cloud-based clinical trial data management, and Merge for enterprise medical imaging and cardiovascular data workflows. For organizational analytics and population health, the company delivers Health Insights (via its Truven employer health platform) alongside the industry-standard MarketScan research databases, which leverage massive longitudinal real-world data (RWD) sets to build comprehensive evidence studies for life sciences and health insurance payers.

Through its dedicated Cúram platform, Merative empowers public sector health and human services agencies to transform how they administer social assistance, disability, pensions, and integrated care management. Serving over 187 million people annually across more than 900 global programs, Cúram utilizes low-code implementation and pre-built API modules to streamline complex multi-program eligibility and entitlement workflows for over 280,000 caseworkers. Features like Cúram Action View integrate AI-ready tools to centralize critical data into a single window, dramatically reducing workflow friction and enabling government agencies to create person-centered, family-centric care pathways for vulnerable or at-risk populations.

For employers and health plans, Merative provides the data foundation needed to track healthcare benefits spending, analyze program performance, and actively measure the return on investment (ROI) of healthcare interventions without relying on a patchwork of disconnected software tools. For life sciences companies and academic researchers, Merative provides unparalleled real-world evidence (RWD) through closed administrative claims databases that span commercial, Medicare Supplemental, and Multi-State Medicaid populations. These clean, secure, and SQL-compatible datasets allow organizations to conduct deep cohort analysis, model budget impacts, and streamline pricing or reimbursement submissions with absolute compliance.
