The heart of the Global
Health Information Grid is our GEMR (Genotyped Electronic Medical
Record ) technology.
"Genotyping without
outcome co-relation is mind without body. Outcome analysis without
genotyping is body without soul"
Our approach to global
health information network ( GHIN ) is GEMR centric and ADR
focused. We have introduced the genotype dimension into the EMR to
eliminate inconsistency in the therapeutic process. So the output
is precise every time. Every time a GEMR will address issues like
drug-drug, drug-food and drug-disease interactions besides
functioning in lifestyle onto the genotype background of the
patient.
Using an innovative 'BioTag'
genotyped information can be compressed into handheld / portable
devices to enable the use of genotype information at the point of
diagnosis / prescription. Unified identity system is yet another
spin off of BioTag.
Furthermore, the novel
'Gene-based Therapy' that holds immense potential to cure a host
of dreaded diseases, requires customization that can be made
possible only by the depth of information our GEMR will provide.
Our GEMR will re-engineer the processes in a typical Tele medicine
setting. The unified identity systems is yet another spin off of
the GEMR technology.
ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS
(ADR)
Our involvement in core
research processes led us to confront the problem of Adverse Drug
Reactions (ADR), a silent killer. A problem that led to the
creation of our current business model. A problem that helped us
realize that the cure was bigger than the problem. The only way we
could crack the drug reaction issue was by knowing the way
genotypes, lifestyle segments, cultural groups and individuals
react to drugs. While ADAPT has transformed the drug development
and approval process, the loop was incomplete. The ThinkGenŽ GEMR
data will solve the hitherto intractable problem of ADRs - with
all the implications of enhanced security from litigation, reduced
insurance payoffs and shorter drug research cycles. The list of
value addition that will emanate from mining such a database is
immense.
PRESCRIPTION STRATEGY
An explicit advantage
emanating from the GEMR-centric, ADR-focused HIN is the automation
of and objectivity in prescription strategy. By making available
relevant current information at the point of care, and integrating
research to application, ThinkGenŽ completes the feedback loop.
Real-time information relating to interactions, reactions and then
customizing therapy will render the prescription process precise.
