Precision Medicine
As hospitals shift into patient risk assessment from disease prevention, the need for precision medicine tools will grow, a new HIMSS Analytics study found.
The research team found two groups that can stop the virus from replicating and protect fetal brain cells.
Researchers from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC say they're encouraged by what may one day be a new tool to help battle cancer and heart disease: an ultrasound-enabled genetic therapy called sonoporation.
By helping spot gene-based drug interactions, Translational Software says the interface could spur more routine clinical use of genomic data.
The promise of genomics and personalized care are closer than many realize. But clinical systems and EHRs are not ready yet. While policymakers and innovators play catch-up, here’s a look at what to know now.
Twenty one hospitals will use the supercomputer and the Watson for Oncology software piloted by Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York to offer personalized care for cancer patients.
The startup’s technology platform combines data science with analytics, clinical expertise, mobile tools to create personalization and engagement, CEO Rajeev Singh said.
Memorial Health will help develop standards of care and best practices for integrating molecular biology into oncology care, the companies said, and increase personalized medicine practices.
The university aims to make genetic testing a regular part of healthcare using Google's Cloud Platform and informatics.
Doctors at the National Human Genome Research Institute, the National Cancer Institute and the NIH Clinical Center will use the tools to combine genomic and clinical data for statistical analysis and pattern detection.
