"Engaging with people affected by cancer and ensuring we take their opinions and experiences into account will result in holistic research and ultimately a more positive impact on people, on communities and on society." In this Q&A, we explore the importance of bringing together future research leaders & patient advocates. Read more 👇

Our proud partner, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), just released a new study on SPARK, their cloud-based patient health data platform. Led by Kawther Abdilleh, PanCAN’s director of data science and informatics, this study highlights how SPARK accelerates pancreatic cancer research. SPARK, powered by our Velsera Seven Bridges platform, makes real-world patient health data and analysis tools easily accessible to qualified researchers. Read the full publication here: https://lnkd.in/gDc2F2X3 Join us in supporting PanCAN's SPARK platform, integrating real-world patient health data to expedite research. Together, we can make significant strides in the short- and long-term management of this complex disease. Explore SPARK: https://lnkd.in/gnCCeTF5 We're proud to be part of PanCAN's efforts, providing crucial guidance for healthcare professionals through comprehensive guidelines for detecting, diagnosing, and caring for patients with pancreatic cancer. Let's work together for a brighter future in pancreatic cancer research! #ResearchBreakthrough #PanCAN #SPARKPlatform

Imagine having unlimited resources to scale based on increased #patient volume or perhaps staffing shortages. That is exactly what a #GenAI mentor can do for your organization. With a shortage of #nurses, #care managers and #physicians why not use technology to free resources to focus on the more complex needs of patients? Here is just one example, the #AI resource underwent training to fulfill the role of an information desk agent at a #provider. His training involved familiarizing himself with proprietary data from a provider named LMC. He adeptly addressed patient inquiries and efficiently guided them to different services within the #health system/hospital. Link: https://lnkd.in/efVHZMhq

📢 Exciting News! We're thrilled to announce the release of our new one-pager, delving into the Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Multi-Cancer Early Detection Tests (MCED)! Our one-pager explores the rapidly evolving landscape of MCED testing. While direct evidence for clinical utility is currently limited, some health systems are already offering MCED cancer screening as a complement to guideline-directed single cancer screening. 🌟 Key Takeaways: *Uncover the potential impact of MCED testing on public health. *Explore how health systems are integrating MCED screening alongside traditional methods. *Understand the urgent need to generate additional evidence about the clinical utility of MCED tests.

My journey at Seven Bridges (now Velsera) started with being the program manager for the SPARK platform for PanCAN, in 2021. Working with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network data science and informatics team, under the fierce leadership from Kawther Abdilleh has been a pleasure! I can't wait to see what our teams do together in the coming years! Go read the research paper here: https://lnkd.in/gDc2F2X3 and ping me if you have any questions... let's improve the health of pancreatic cancer patients, together. #precisionmedicine #clinicalresearch #bioinformatics

In this video, John Hennessy, MBA, shares his highlights from Clinical Pathways Congress + Cancer Care Business Exchange and provides insights on industry consolidation and the future of cancer care at home. "One of the things that’s very encouraging about this conference is people are thinking of new ideas and trying to approach new ways of doing things ... I'd love to see how the clinical pathways start to learn from these experiences and translate clinical trial information into real-world data into pathways that help physicians and patients make the best decision about their care," said Hennessy.

Cancer is a data-driven illness and merging data assets across different sectors is an imperative step to fighting this terrible disease. CancerX Moonshot is conducting its first demonstration project to do just that: collaborate with industry to build comprehensive real-world datasets in a way that’s never been done before in oncology. CancerIQ has long been focused on scaling equitable access to early cancer detection and prevention through data-backed digital innovation. In particular, we've leveraged clinical and operational data from 40+ health system partnerships to develop solutions targeted towards improving uptake of high risk interventions, appropriate preventive services, patient communication, and patient education. As part of our partnership with CancerX Moonshot, we look forward to sharing our knowledge to keep enhancing outcomes for all patients. #aheadofcancer #precisionprevention #cancermoonshot https://bit.ly/3TsyPjI

"Patient-centered care focuses on what's most important to the patient rather than what is important to clinicians or other people. It brings the patient's voice front and center into the conversation." -Mary Cooley We spoke with Mary Cooley, PhD, RN, FAAN, about the advantages of clinical decision support in managing patient care and how it differs from the typical standard of care. Her presentation was part of the panel titled “Treating the Individual” at the 2023 Clinical Pathways Congress + Cancer Care Business Exchange.
