Sciformix Corporation and Cambridge Semantics Partner to Create Enhanced Pharmacovigilance Automation and Technology Platform for Life Science Companies
BOSTON (PRWEB) April 10, 2018 -- Sciformix Corporation, a leading scientific knowledge-based organization, and Cambridge Semantics, The Smart Data Company®, today announced a partnership to launch a semantic technology layer, specifically tailored to pharmacovigilance processes that will transform and help interpret big data for the life science industry. This technology platform will allow Sciformix to further enhance its targeted pharmacovigilance automation suite for its clients.
The solution combines Sciformix’s domain expertise in pharmacovigilance with Cambridge Semantics’ Anzo Smart Data Lake® to build safety-specific ontologies onto the platform, enabling life science companies to transform existing legacy data models into self-service analytics to maximize the value of their data. The semantic layer of technology on the data lake is able to process and make sense of vast quantities of structured and unstructured data to allow users to see patterns, signals and extract analytics from the information. The platform can help operationalize machine learning and artificial intelligence to allow it to improve over time and further automate practices, including case processing and medical review, enabling users to have fewer touch points with their data.
Sciformix President and CEO Manish Soman commented, “Sciformix is excited to announce this collaboration, which will enhance pharmacovigilance processes in the industry through a new, comprehensive end-to-end solution. We chose to work with the Cambridge Semantics open platform as it is scalable, capable of handling large quantities of data and able to provide advanced analytics. As the scientific work carried out by Sciformix and its clients is very data intensive, this was essential.”
He added, “The platform will enable us to provide a pharmacovigilance solution that will go beyond automating rule-based activities. It will leverage cognitive computing and artificial intelligence technologies based on machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to build a comprehensive automation platform. This will improve the predictability of regulatory compliance and quality standards, and also allow teams to use the power of analytics to focus on complex, high-level downstream scientific work involving evaluation and interpretation activities.”
Alok Prasad, President of Cambridge Semantics said, “We are pleased to partner with Sciformix and extend their industry leading safety and pharmacovigilance expertise with our powerful Anzo Smart Data Lake product. Our semantically driven, big data graph platform will provide Sciformix with the unprecedented automation capabilities needed to process and understand vast amounts of medical information, enabling better patient safety for their clients.”
Both companies will be discussing this powerful solution set at World Drug Safety Congress, 2018 April 10-11th at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue at Booth 11. In addition Fran Bates, Vice President of Technology Services at Sciformix and Jim LaPointe, Managing Director at Cambridge Semantics, will be presenting together on “PV Automation Journey: Past, Present and Future” at 3:10 PM EST on April 10th.
Sciformix, headquartered in the United States with operations in Europe, India, and Philippines, partners with life science organizations to provide a full range of services, from study design to post-marketing surveillance. Areas of specialization include safety and risk management, clinical development, real world evidence and market research, scientific writing, regulatory affairs, and technology services.
