Signet Accel

Signet Accel was a healthcare information technology company specializing in federated data integration and interoperability, primarily for the oncology and academic research sectors. Spun out from The Ohio State University, the company's flagship platform, Avec, allowed healthcare organizations to connect and harmonize disparate databases without the need for a centralized repository. This federated approach enabled secure, real-time data sharing and collaborative research while maintaining data ownership at each site. The company served major clients such as the Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) and the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation. Signet Accel was acquired by Strata Decision Technology (a Roper Technologies company) in early 2019, and its technology continues to support data-driven decision-making in clinical and research environments.
