Dr. Soon-Shiong Unveils How His Sweeping Vision for 21st Century Medicine and Cancer Care Is Becoming Reality and the Results of the Implementation of NantHealth’s Advanced Technology Platforms in the US, UK and Asia.
New York City, NY (December 4, 2014) – NantHealth founder and CEO, Dr. Soon-Shiong will today provide an update at the Forbes Healthcare Summit 2014, on his vision for NantHealth, a transformational healthcare company that converges science and technology through a single integrated clinical platform, providing actionable health information at the point of care, in the time of need, anywhere, anytime, significantly elevating standards of care.
Over the last decade, Dr. Soon-Shiong has built the company’s cloud-based, big data and mobile interoperability platform which is now being deployed in the US, UK and Asia, empowering physicians, patients, payers and researchers alike by bringing genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis to cancer patients in the clinical setting.
The foundation of this technology platform is NantHealth’s clinical Operating System (cOS). Integrating molecular science, computer science and big data technology, the cOS platform provides the most up-to-date, evidence-based cancer treatments and clinical trials, with the most comprehensive next-generation genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis available. The platform empowers all members of the cancer care team, including physicians, case managers, care coordinators, as well as patients and their families, with the most insightful, coordinated and actionable information available to determine the best course of care, monitor patient outcomes and manage cost in real time.
NantHealth’s cOS integrates NantOmics’ genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic diagnostic system, NantHealth’s eviti Advisor, a cancer decision support library, together with a client’s electronic health record system. Through DeviceConX, a NantHealth connectivity system that captures vital signs from hundreds of medical devices, cOS enables the provider to monitor the patient in real time across the care continuum, from hospital to clinic to home.
Designed for routine clinical use, cOS integrates clinical, financial, operational and environmental data into a single, fully interoperable platform. This comprehensive integration provides a healthcare system and physician with the capability to provide a powerful integrated longitudinal view of an individual’s genetic, transcriptomic and proteomic variances among normal and diseased cells that makes each patient’s cancer unique.
By offering this level of precision medicine, for the first time, NantHealth can provide the individual clinician and patient actionable data that can lead to an improved clinical diagnosis and a targeted cancer treatment option with the ultimate goal of more effective care and better outcomes.
