The widespread adoption of the electronic medical record (Electronic Health Records, EHR) opens the way to evidence-based medicine, based on the history of large numbers of real patients rather than limited clinical trials. This can be used to create custom risk profiles or predictive models to anticipate the effect of specific treatment lines. Although a substantial amount of work has been done in this field in recent years, there are still unresolved limitations. One of the main ones is the use of unstructured text data, which contains most of the relevant information. This text is considerably difficult to use, given the complexity of medical terminology. The second limitation is the large number of variables that can be explained or used in the models.
Savana is an EHR manager that provides innovative solutions for the extraction of knowledge of these data and support for the decision-making in research, clinic and management. It owns the SAVANA MANAGER, SAVANA CONSULTA, SAVANA RESEARCH and SAVANA PREDICT platforms, as well as the EHREAD and ENTROPIA technology, which are computer tools capable of reading and interpreting the information contained in the electronic clinical records. In addition, it is able to associate each medical term with the concepts related to it, linking them to the standard medical oncology SnoMed. Savana has access to one of the largest EHR databases internationally, with several hundred million stories.
This proposal describes the future collaboration between the Technological Research Institute and Savana, which has the fundamental objective of accelerating the development of predictive models as well as the dissemination of research results.
