Open Source Health launches precision medicine platform for women
Open Source Health unveiled its cloud-based myAva Precision Medicine Platform to analyze biometric, genomic, molecular and patient-generated data.
The immediate goal is to deliver precision medicine to women with polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, an endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age.
After two years working on the technology, says company founder and Open Source Health CEO Sonya Satveit said the technology can help users advocate and collaborate on their own healthcare.
“By providing an in-depth molecular insight of each woman, myAva will help achieve a new understanding of PCOS, and has the potential to provide precision treatment programs customized to each woman’s unique molecular makeup,” Satveit said.
Open Source Health, for instance, also detailed a partnership with Medici Medical Arts Center for Integrative Medicine to add precision medicine capabilities to Medici’s existing electronic health record installed base.
Open Source Health and Medici Medical Arts will begin by creating a digital profile of each woman based on her molecular makeup, biometric data, clinical evidence combined with the latest scientific knowledge.
Such profiles will contain genetic information, blood proteins and metabolites, gut and vaginal microbiome, vital signs and biometric data collected from wearable technology, such as heart rate, activity levels, sleep patterns and self-reported data about as quality of life and environmental conditions.
The data will be integrated and analyzed using computational biology approaches cross-referenced with the latest scientific and clinical findings to objectively characterize health status and to identify potential transitions from health to disease using various molecular metrics.
The myAva platform will produce a personalized health dashboard that highlights actionable items and tracks progress toward optimal health, the company said.
