Our take

Flatiron Health has developed a range of sophisticated analytics, which is utilised in the treatment of cancer. Flatiron was formed in 2012, and was purchased by global pharmaceutical giant Roche for $1.9 billion in 2018.

Data is central to the company’s operation, with Flatiron capturing oncology information from various source systems, with an analytics engine deriving operative conclusions from this data. This assists healthcare organisations in the understanding and treatment of various cancers.

While Flatiron is no longer publicly listed, Roche’s share price has increased steadily since its acquisition of the cancer analysis firm. While there is extensive competition in oncology, with rivals in this space - such as Paige, Live Better With, and Foundation Medicine - Flatiron has continued to grow, making international partnerships and boosting its executive leadership team.
