Marble

Marble (formerly known as MedChart) is a company that provides a powerful API platform to simplify access to patient-authorized digital health data for various industries and applications. Their API technology allows developers to navigate the complex health data ecosystem, manage patient authorization and consent, and access a vast network of data sources, including electronic medical records (EMRs), health information exchanges (HIEs), release of information vendors, and payors. The company empowers law firms to practice more profitably by dramatically reducing the time spent preparing medical data requests from four months to one day. In July 2022, law firms were using Marble's API to authenticate claimants and retrieve medical data in three mass tort cases: Camp Lejeune water contamination, 3 million earplugs, and manufacturers of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). Marble's technology also enables businesses to meet HIPAA compliance and other privacy mandates while realizing the benefits of the 21st Century Cures Act, which requires US healthcare organizations to make health data available to patients and third parties via secure, standards-based APIs.

Key customers and partnerships

In the ongoing Purdue opioid litigation, Marble's customers include law firms representing nearly 40% of all US claimants. The company has recently developed partnerships with companies like HealthBird and RiteAid, and their MedChart product is being used in a large mass tort lawsuit against Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals.
