Novellia was created to bridge the gap between individuals’ complete health story and data currently accessible to clinicians and researchers. As part of this, Novellia offers individuals the opportunity to assist in closing this gap by contributing to research and fostering the development and advancement of clinical breakthroughs. Novellia’s client network includes entities, such as life sciences organizations, that seek to transform the health care industry through their research activities. Such entities seek to accelerate the path to life-changing medicines by utilizing longitudinal data that tracks specific patient journeys in connection with their research. I hereby authorize the use, disclosure, and sale of my Protected Health Information as described below to Novellia, Inc. (“Novellia”) for a period of 24 months from the date I sign this authorization. I understand that this authorization is voluntary, revokable, and that I may refuse to sign this authorization. My failure to sign this authorization or the revocation of this authorization may prevent me from receiving services from Novellia, but will not otherwise affect any treatment, payment, eligibility for benefits or enrollment activities which I am entitled to receive or in which I am entitled to participate.
