This point was made by Juan Enriquez, managing director at Boston-based Excel Venture Management, and a director at biotech Synthetic Genomics Inc. and I agree with him. I look at the “glut” of software in healthcare not only from the medical records side of the business, but also the analysis...

One of the first areas that pops into my head is Genomics, being data heavy and intense. The link below explains more about how to enroll for the program for anyone doing research in a new or approved project. This is an independent federal agency to promote the growth of scientific discovery...

You will find me on the list too. There are many companies such as Microsoft, Google, Navigenics, Faster Cures and more on the list. Why is this so important? From the article below: “When patients get their records -- especially in computerized format -- they can use the information...

This is interesting as last Friday I discussed different uses of the Cloud by Pharma and Merck has a computer center in Seattle, Rosetta, which it acquired in 2001, with about 10,000 processors and an elaborate Internet-based architecture allowing researchers working on thousands of projects anywhere...

Xconomy had a chance to catch up with George Church with a few questions and commented favorably on the use and working towards helping patients with genomic data. He stated it’s not so much about genomics as it is personally controlled health records and speaks of the ability to share genomic...

The center will offer 9 tests initially and will grow to 50 by year end. The article stated there are over 2000 currently available, but the hospital is selectively working to find the tests that will best benefit diagnosis and treatments for their patients. The number of tests is continuing...

The enrollment is to end in around a week or so, perhaps it can be extended, but still even at 4000 participants, that appears to be a large enough number to create the study. For a little background on the project, I have a prior post here from October of last year. Affymetrix will scan...

This is a very good point, getting all the data organized into a fashion where it can be used and analyzed. Back a few months ago when I interviewed Patrice Milos, Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer, of Helicos BioSciences I asked the same question, and also if each interpretation would...

Let’s put it another way, it can’t exist without IT. Again it all comes back to running algorithms to obtain desired results. As I have mentioned before, Algorithms is one of the hottest words right now in healthcare as we all make decisions from queried results. A while back I had the opportunity...

Thanks to Dr. Crounse for previewing some of this at the HUG meeting in Redmond recently, we have already had a preview of how some of this new technology works with healthcare, like folding proteins on Surface for example. More can be read here with videos to watch and download. Follow...

This is hot stuff! Recently I had an in depth interview with Dr. Patrice Milos, Chief Scientific Officer at Helicos discussing genomics and where the future is going. Helicos has the software and the genomics machine, and wouldn't this be a nice addition to run on Surface. This...

The videos are well worth watching as well as fascinating. These are not just "techs" working at the labs, they are physicians, PHDs, etc. that are working on the healthcare items. These are just a few screen shots from the videos. There's all kinds of interesting projects...
