Academic health system Emory Healthcare has selected Atropos Health to implement a new decision-making tool for generating real-world data (RWD) evidence for clinicians.

The tool is designed to enhance patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

It aims to refine medication solutions through rapid evidence generation and advanced analytics.

The collaboration allows Atropos Health to offer a platform for generating evidence and conducting studies that contribute to the advancement of patient care.

Emory, in a pilot programme, is employing Atropos Health’s platform to address clinical queries in real-time, utilising vast amount of local clinical data that have previously been underutilised.

The Atropos Evidence Network, encompassing over 300 million patient records, is facilitating Emory clinicians to conduct research using both extensive national datasets and specific local data from Emory.

The Green Button feature provides clinicians with instant access to real-world evidence, enabling them to conduct observational studies in minutes, either through supervised evidence development or by using the fully automated generative AI version, ChatRWD.

Atropos Health CEO and co-founder Dr Brigham Hyde said: “Achieving the quadruple aim in healthcare requires closing the evidence gap.

“Emory’s commitment to adopting technology to reduce friction for physicians and make care protocol and formulary designs based on evidence puts them ahead.”

Atropos Health’s portfolio, which includes the GENEVA OS installed within the customer’s internal cloud data environment, allows users to access Alexandria, a collection of several studies, and other content packages.

These resources enable the generation of new content and evidence tailored to the customers’ needs.

Emory Healthcare enterprise chief information and digital officer Alistair Erskine said: “Atropos Health provides a means to answer questions not specifically or robustly answered in published data; Atropos surfaces practice-based evidence where evidence-based medicine does not exist.”
