Synthetic Data in Healthcare

The role of data in HealthTech

Innovation in HealthTech thrives on data. But for teams building HealthTech solutions, data access is one of the biggest bottlenecks.

The challenge: Innovating under constraints
Product and R&D teams are under pressure to deliver safer, smarter, and faster solutions that improve patient outcomes. But strict privacy regulations, fragmented datasets, and lengthy approval processes often slow them down, creating a gap between innovation and real-world impact.

Why using real data is not an option
Access to real data is tightly restricted. Even when possible, it introduces heavy compliance risks and slows development cycles. Alternatives like traditional approaches like masking or fabricating test data often fail to reflect clinical complexity, breaking workflows and limiting testing.

The cost of limited data availability
When teams can’t get the data they need, projects stall, testing coverage shrinks, and bugs slip into production. This doesn’t just delay releases, it directly impacts patient safety and trust, while driving up costs for HealthTech providers and vendors.

How synthetic data adds value
Synthetic data offers realistic, privacy-preserving datasets that mirror real patient records without exposing sensitive information. This enables HealthTech companies to accelerate development, validate new features safely, and unlock AI-driven insights, all while enhancing privacy.

Person struggling with data access

Why Traditional Test Data Management Holds HealthTech Back

Blocked from using real production data

Problem:Privacy regulations like HIPAA and GDPR prevent HealthTech teams from accessing and using real patient data in development or testing. Beyond compliance risks, it exposes organizations to reputational damages and erodes patient trust.

 

Solution: With Syntho, generate privacy-preserving synthetic datasets mimic real-world data, without incuding sensitive PHI.

 

Value Outcomes:

  • Enable earlier testing and validation with shorter waiting time for approvals
  • Preserve data utility with fewer risks of exposure
  • Accelerate go-to-market for new digital health tools
Broken data relationships cause test failures

Problem:
HealthTech data spans multiple systems (EHRs, labs, billing, imaging). Broken referential integrity between these silos causes inaccurate testing.

 

Solution:
Syntho maintains consistent relationships across datasets and systems, so workflows reflect true end-to-end patient journeys.

 

Value Outcomes:

  • Seamless data flow between EHR, lab, imaging, and billing systems for safer end-to-end testing

  • Catch mismatches early to prevent errors that could delay diagnoses or treatment

  • Reduced rework caused by mismatched or incomplete test data

Test data doesn’t reflect production reality

Problem:
Manually fabricated or masked data rarely match real patient journeys and workflows. This leaves gaps in coverage and undetected risks.

 

Solution: Generate realistic synthetic datasets that accurately reflect real-world workflows and logic, so tests are realistic and complete.


Value Outcomes:

  • Detect more defects before release
  • Improve feature validation accuracy
  • Reduce costly post-release fixes
Manual test data slows innovation cycles

Problem:Teams spend days or weeks anonymizing patient datasets before they can test, delaying releases of tools that could improve patient outcomes.

 

Solution:Quickly generate privacy-preserving, production-like test data with Syntho on-demand.

 

Value Outcomes:

  • Faster release cycles for clinical and digital health solutions

  • Free up IT and compliance teams from repetitive manual masking tasks

  • Ensure test data is quickly available when needed

Can’t test rare or future scenarios

Problem:Edge cases like rare diseases, adverse drug reactions, or future scenarios are often missing from test datasets. This leaves systems unprepared for real-world complexity.

 

Solution:Use Syntho’s rule-based generation to create synthetic scenarios for rare, extreme, or future cases.

 

Value Outcomes:

  • Validate system performance under high-risk scenarios
  • Improve resilience and system stability

  • Ensure technology works across all possible conditions

Critical bugs slip through before releases

Problem:Without realistic and comprehensive test data, bugs can slip into production. In HealthTech, this can delay care, compromise patient safety, and trigger costly recalls.

 

Solution:Generate production-like synthetic test data that include edge cases ensuring defects are caught earlier.

 

Value Outcomes:

  • Reduce post-release bugs

  • Protect organizational reputation and patient trust

  • Lower long-term costs of error remediation

Maintain health data consistency across systems

Consistent Mapping & Referential Integrity

HealthTech data typically flows through multiple systems from for example: EHRs, lab results, billing, and more. If those connections break, testing environments stop reflecting system behavior.

Syntho preserves referential integrity across health datasets, enabling reliable end-to-end testing and accurate multi-table analytics. That means:

  • Stable test environments for cross-system integrations
  • Fewer mismatches that could delay releases
  • More reliable automation pipelines
