• Roche unifies its digital health portfolio under the navify brand, providing a range of next generation software solutions.
• The navify portfolio uses digital solutions, analytics and data science to provide insights that address today's real-world challenges in health, enabling confident decisions and leading towards delivery of personalised healthcare.
• The navify digital solutions reinforce Roche's commitment to help providers and innovators connect with patients for better access, experience and delivery of care.

BASEL, Switzerland, Nov. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today at the HLTH 2022 meeting in Las Vegas, NV, US, that its digital health portfolio will now be available under the navify® brand. The navify digital solutions help providers and patients 'navigate' and 'clarify' a wide range of touchpoints by activating insights that provide evidence on how to optimise operational processes and clinical decision making in healthcare.

"Today we are using navify digital solutions, such as algorithms, and data science to deliver insights that are actionable in healthcare, building on three decades of software experience with diagnostics in laboratories," said Moritz Hartmann, Head of Roche Information Solutions. "We are creating open digital ecosystems with labs, hospitals and medtech companies to bring the latest innovations faster to society to better serve patients, and to support clinicians in providing care for patients. These activities support our strategy to deliver insights that drive personalised care." 

Together, navify brings new ways to:

• Improve interoperability of digital infrastructure: Today limited abilities to seamlessly connect and share data costs healthcare systems an est. $30 billion in the US alone,¹
• Use advanced analytics to deliver operational excellence, improved workflows, and patient-centric ways of working: A worldwide shortage of up to 15 million healthcare workers is predicted by 2030:² providers face increasing workloads with less resources - finding additional efficiencies is a priority,
• Generate advanced medical insights that augment clinical decision support: 2 in 3 physicians are unsure if they are over- or underusing diagnostics, compared to their peers.³

Navify supports Roche's 125-year commitment to deliver pioneering science that helps healthcare organisations improve patient health by advancing diagnostics, treatments and medical knowledge. It also aligns with Roche's 10-year ambition to build a leading, profitable insights business.
