Making the World Run Better by Helping Improve People's Lives
The American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) wholly owned nonprofit subsidiary, CancerLinQ LLC, is working with SAP to develop CancerLinQ, one of the only major cancer-data initiatives developed by physicians with the primary purpose of improving patient care. CancerLinQ is a health information technology platform that will harness Big Data from millions of de-identified patient records to deliver high-quality, personalized care to people with cancer and cancer survivors. Doctors are expected to receive personalized insights like never before, and patients will have better access to high-quality care based on the most up-to-date insights and findings. For more information on the ASCO and SAP partnership, please visit SAP TV.
"In teaming with SAP, we found an ideal company with state-of-the-art technology, a commitment to invest major new resources and a clear dedication to our patient-care mission," said Kevin Fitzpatrick, CEO of CancerLinQ LLC. "With our cancer expertise complemented by SAP's unique ability to break down data silos and provide real-time analytics on massive amounts of federated clinical data, CancerLinQ is in a position to make a huge leap toward becoming the platform of choice for oncologists."
The National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) delivers patient care, cancer research, and cancer prevention. The old system required medical staff to search multiple databases, compile patient lists, print patient files and manually check if patients matched criteria for clinical trials by reviewing each file individually. This made accessing and analyzing patient data an extremely complex and time-consuming process. To simplify and streamline the process, NCT and SAP codeveloped SAP Medical Research Insights — a solution based on SAP Foundation for Health that allows fast, easy and secure access to patient data and comparison of patient profiles from various sources. For more information on how NCT and SAP are co-innovating, please visit here.
"The team from the NCT worked closely with the SAP Innovation Center site to conduct observations, incorporate feedback and iterate in short cycles, which resulted in a well-rounded, award-winning solution," said Prof. Dr. Christof von Kalle, managing director of the National Center for Tumor Diseases and head of Translational Oncology. "With SAP Medical Research Insights, medical staff can visualize and analyze patient data in real time due to the speed of SAP HANA and simple app design. This provides a holistic view of a patient's medical history in a graphical timeline, allowing physicians more time to care for patients instead of going through paperwork. It also dramatically reduces the turnaround time for clinical studies, which can ultimately lead to life-changing discoveries."
