American healthcare has spent a decade trying to pay for outcomes instead of volume. The hard part was never the ambition. It was the data.
Cozeva exists because a health plan and a doctor rarely see the same patient at the same moment. The plan knows a diabetic member missed a screening; the physician, mid-visit, does not. Cozeva - the flagship product of San Ramon-based Applied Research Works, Inc. - is a real-time, cloud-based data platform built to close that gap. It gathers claims, lab results, and clinical records from many sources, reconciles them, and hands both payers and providers a single, current view of quality and risk.
The company was founded in 2012 by Yin Ling Leung, a community health educator, and Shaibal Roy, a computer scientist. That pairing - clinical need on one side, engineering on the other - still shows in the product. Cozeva does not just report on care after the fact. It surfaces care gaps at the point of care, where a clinician can actually act on them during a visit rather than reading about them in a quarterly summary.
The name is deliberate. Cozeva blends the French coze, a friendly conversation, with the Latin va, to move or go forward. A data platform named after a conversation is a fair description of what it tries to do: get two parties that usually argue over spreadsheets to talk from a shared source of truth.
"Cozeva is a critical partner in advancing our mission to promote high-quality, affordable, and equitable care."
