To best understand the content in this article, we recommend first reviewing these:

There are three distinct vendor types in Atlas: Data Integrators, Data Science & Analytics partners, and Technology Developers.

Data Integrators and Data Science & Analytics partners are referred to as "Data Platforms".

When on the Explore Vendors page, you'll notice that there are Vendor Types that you can filter by on the right. Use these vendor types to find partners that have capabilities to pair with or support your technology selection after study start-up, provide analytics to capture your measure of interest, or a combination of both. These three types of Vendors are:

You can use the Filter By box to apply filters to your search results, helping narrow down your findings.

Data Integrators and Data Science & Analytics Partners are unique in that they may or may not be considered a Technology Developer in which they have their own proprietary Digital Health Technology (DHT). Because they have capabilities to support third-party technologies as Data Platforms, there is additional information that may be important when selecting these vendors. When viewing the details page for applicable vendors that are Data Integrators or Data Science & Analytics, you'll see additional cards with this information.

For this example, we'll use the vendor Koneksa Health, who is a Technology Developer, Data Integrator, and Data Science & Analytics.

You can view the types the vendor is associated with underneath its name. For applicable vendors, on the right of the overview card, there is an external link to their Clinical Roadmap. A clinical roadmap can contain information about areas of clinical research that a vendor may not have current evidence for, but is developing. This information may be helpful to identify data partners who are aligned with your therapeutic area of interest.

For Data Integrators and Data Science & Analytics vendors, you will see that there are two additional cards underneath the overview card, that are unique to only these groups: Therapeutic Areas (TAs) on the right, and Supported Technologies on the left.

The Therapeutic Areas card displays the therapeutic areas the vendor's integration platform has been used in. All of the TAs listed here are evidence-backed, meaning there is high quality evidence in Atlas supporting the use of this technology (see more about our evidence here). The most common reason a vendor does not have evidence is in the case of Data Integrators, who may not have digital measures directly associated with a proprietary technology. If there are no Evidence-based Supported Technologies for a vendor, this card will not show.

The Supported Technologies card shows technologies that the vendor's products can integrate with and is filterable by two things:

Clicking on either of the filters will cause inapplicable technologies to fade out.

In addition to having supported technologies, a Data Science & Analytics Partner may also have their own proprietary technology, like a software that can be paired with sensor data to create unique digital measures. When you would like to explore more information about a vendor's individual technology, you can find them listed under the Products card.

Like the details pages for these vendors, there is also additional information for integrator technologies on their Technology Details pages. Koneksa Algorithms is the technology we will use as our example.

Under the Measurements card on the right, you'll see the Supported Technologies card. It has the same filters as the Supported Technologies card on vendor pages.

Here you will also find additional technical specifications and measurement capabilities, similar to other Technology Detail Pages found on the site.

As you are searching for technologies on Atlas, there is a Data Platform card toward the bottom right that shows you which Data Platforms (Data Integrators or Data Science & Analytics partners) are applicable to the technology. Clicking on the platform's name will take you to its Vendor Details page. For this example, we are using the BPM Connect.

On the Explore Technologies page, you can apply filters based on Data Platform to find out which integrate with the given technology. This may be useful if you know there are specific data science & analytic partners or data integrators that have already been qualified for use in your organization. This filter is at the bottom of the list in the Filter By box. As an example, here is a link to a search that has Koneksa Health and PhysIQ Data Platform filters applied.

Please note that more Data Platforms will be added in the future, expanding your filtering capability. As we continue to add new vendor types to Atlas, we'd love your feedback! Contact our team by clicking on the question mark to the right of the global search bar, and clicking "Chat with us".
