Viviphi and Avera Health Confirm Clinical Validation and System-Wide Implementation of the PrecisionPlan Cognitive Computing Platform
Avera Health has announced its plans to implement a new cognitive computing platform system wide. The platform, called PrecisionPlan, was developed in collaboration with Denver-based Viviphi Ltd. PrecisionPlan is designed to generate patient-specific treatment plans in seconds. The artificial intelligence solution utilizes diagnostic, surgical, demographic and other patient-specific information from the electronic medical record system (EMR) and from next-generation tumor sequencing reference laboratories to generate personalized treatment plans and offer clinical guidance in precision medicine.
