In addition, Syapse has added life sciences partnerships with established biopharmaceutical companies. Recently, Syapse presented research at American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) focused on how the use of machine learning on real-world data can be used to power precision medicine solutions.
“We are extremely pleased that Innovatus supports our mission to marry technology and real-world data to provide high-quality healthcare to cancer patients by transforming provider-driven data into actionable insights for health systems and life sciences,” said Ken Tarkoff, chief executive officer of Syapse.
