Leveraging the discovery and research platform as one source of truth with integrated healthcare and research operations

Leveraging the discovery and research platform as one source of truth with integrated healthcare and research operations

Situation

  • Unique institution with cutting edge research studies needing an accelerated connection with clinical practice and real time insights
  • Sought partner for bringing data through an integrated research platform enabling research on AI and ML and more to run on top
  • Need tailored approach to support pioneering thinking at a leading organization to create a single environment for innovation, discovery and collaboration

Challenge

  • Data across studies stored in varying formats from different sources: genetic data (NGS, RNA, MICROBIOME, Epigentic) as well as clinical data, omics data and more
  • No foundation for harmonizing the different research projects conducted and data silo’d across different locations
  • Difficult to query, draw conclusions from, or perform comparisons between datasets and no way to interpret insights relevant to disease-specific situations

Action

  • Implemented a single source of truth data warehouse with analytical and data management capacity, managing >50 clinical data types
  • Capabilities applied for handling RNA Seq, Epigentics, NGS, Array data and processes
  • Open analytics ecosystem for optimal flexibility: R-studio, Jupyter Notebook, etc.
  • Real-time insights made available through interactive analytic results and data visualization
  • Automated pipelines configured for rapid clinical data extraction and analysis

Impact

  • BC Platforms’ multi-faceted system was broadly adapted in the organization to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into clinical practice
  • Integrated platform helped bring the organization to a new level of success as a research driven, evidence-based institution at the cutting edge of personalized medicine
  • Able to quickly coordinate difficult, multi-process clinical cases, such as examining COVID-19 effects, in a single platform
  • Harmonized real time data model, refining datasets with new evidence and enabling virtual ward rounds to optimize resource allocation
