BOSTON and ROLLE,
Blood cancers represent the fourth most frequent cancer type in the developed world,1 with Myeloma being one of the three main types of blood cancer. As with most hematologic malignancies, next-generation sequencing (NGS), which produces a vast amount of data, is often preferred to aid in the diagnosis and treatment planning of Myeloma as it provides detailed information on the genome. The implementation of SOPHiA GENETICS technology will aid the A.O.U. San Giovanni di Dio Ruggi d'Aragona Hematology Unit in using NGS testing for the first time. The introduction of this new technology will provide the hospital with an increased amount of data and is expected to support the advancement of clinical research, diagnosis and treatment.
"We have seen a shift in the sequencing landscape with more and larger data sets becoming readily available. With that shift, the need for accurate and timely data analysis is becoming increasingly important to ensure that our customers, like A.O.U. San Giovanni di Dio Ruggi d'Aragona, can still find important biomarkers to research disorders and diagnose their patients. At SOPHiA GENETICS, we are able to contribute to that accurate and timely data analysis through our SOPHiA DDM™ Platform to support our customers in their endeavor towards precision medicine," said Kevin Puylaert, Managing Director, EMEA, SOPHiA GENETICS. "We are excited to see A.O.U. San Giovanni di Dio Ruggi d'Aragona pave the way for data-driven medicine in
The SOPHiA DDM™ Platform, which is a cloud-based platform that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze and interpret raw data files from NGS, will help A.O.U. San Giovanni di Dio Ruggi d'Aragona quickly sort a large volume of raw NGS data. The SOPHiA DDM™ Platform also aids in faster data analysis and streamlined insights, enabling clinical researchers to make data-based treatment recommendations more easily.
In addition to providing a simplified bioinformatics workflow, the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform will allow A.O.U. San Giovanni di Dio Ruggi d'Aragona to retain ownership of its database, supporting the research team as it continues to increase its expertise.
