PathMaker™ Decision Support Software

 

Envisage PathMaker™ is a decision support tool for patient diagnosis and therapeutic management and intervention that addresses the special privacy, security and availability requirements of the healthcare industry.

Based on patient demographic and testing data, the Envisage PathMaker™ product uses evidence-based techniques to offer a most likely diagnosis and then identifies the most efficacious treatment regime available along existing critical care paths. Using patented technology the system is capable of providing clinical decision support using multiple variables taken from a wide array of information. Patient ECG results, diagnostic imagery, genomic data, along with administrative variables, can all be considered to maximize patient outcomes. A number of applications can be supported from screening patients for infectious diseases, e.g. SARS, through drug efficacy, to the identification of optimal treatment regimes for cancer and cardiac patients.

A Flexible Tool for Patient Care and Management

PathMaker™ can be used to optimize efficiency, reduce the cost and maximize outcomes for patient care and management. Using a broad range of data types PathMaker™ identifies knowledge trapped in data without any hypothesis or relationship input by a clinician. Gigabytes of patients' data are beyond human capabilities to traverse through and identify key relationships that may be critical to patients care. PathMaker™ isn't simply a procedural checklist for clinicians, PathMaker™ identifies critical relationships in data, unreachable by traditional means, and allows that information to be utilized by clinicians to enhance patient outcomes, reduce costs and better administer healthcare. All elements available, from genomic information to costing, can be considered in PathMaker™.


Massive amounts of data have been collected in the healthcare industry and medical researchers. Data collection will continue to grow in the future. Some of the most important results can be trapped in this data because traditional statistics and data mining techniques do not find the results. Envisage PathMaker™ discovers this trapped knowledge and makes it available to support healthcare decision-making.

Healthcare in North America is in an untenable position. To ensure quality service is readily available, can be delivered in a cost effective manner and achieve the most positive outcomes is a daunting task. Ongoing measurement and collection of data in healthcare is a critical element for achieving theses goals. Yet collecting massive amounts in a variety of formats makes it difficult for healthcare professionals to extract useful information from that data to support their decision-making efforts.

The Envisage PathMaker™ solution provides a means to solve this problem. With no priori knowledge of the data, PathMaker™ software discovers high order relationships in data that can be used to support decision-making processes in healthcare such as drug efficacy and critical path determination for patient treatment regimes. More effective treatment plans translate into better outcomes for patients at lower costs.
