Personalised medicine is coming...
10 years of development in Scandinavia |
Personalised medicine is on trackWe all know that different patients react differently to the same medicine. We all know that several billion euros of drugs are wasted every year. We all know that all drugs trigger side effects to a greater or lesser extent.
Without an appropriate systematic overview of benefits and side effects, billions of euros are wasted each year, putting a tremendous burden on government healthcare budgets, and in some cases putting patients' lives at risk. With HealthQ by Daintel it will now be possible to separate drugs with real effects from those which only have side effects. HealthQ can reduce the time spent on analysing Patient data from months to hours. The road to personalized medicine is within reach – but the healthcare sector needs to collect more data, not less. |
2016: New project with Innovationsfonden
As much as 50% of medications used in the Danish healthcare are either ineffective or generate just side effects. Side effects can vary due to genetic variation, nutrition and medicine types. The new research project will use the Danish health data and attempt to divide all patients into subgroups based on their chances of surviving in the intensive care units.
Data from intensive care units will also be analysed which enables researchers to incorporate two decades of data. The project is based on data from the Capital Region and Region Zealand, integrating more than 6.8 million living and deceased individuals. A new concept will be created that combines time scales and assesses the value of historical data in relation to specific goals of treatment.
The project has a strong focus on data security and on new methods to protect personal sensitive data. The cooperation includes researchers from the two Danish regions (Capital Region and Region Zealand), Copenhagen University Hospital, Roskilde Hospital, University of Copenhagen, DTU, Intomics and Daintel.
