Veritas’ Cause of Death solution is the first commercially-accessible product to answer “why” someone died
- Clinical causes of death are optimized from 3 years of clinical real-world data for each deceased patient
- Includes primary and secondary causes of death
- Each cause of death has an associated confidence score reflecting the density and quality of real-world data from which it is derived
Steps the COD algorithm performs

Select up to 3 years of clinical history for deceased individuals

Map together clinical events for different diseases and conditions

Apply weightings to events dependent on the clinical interactions and health care provided

Calculate likely causes of death, dependent on the severity, frequency and recency to death

Create output including primary and secondary causes of deaths and associated confidence scores
The Cause of Death solution is available in a ready-to-use dataset, and linkable to deidentified real-world data from these partners:
