Standards & Interoperability
We are cognisant there are many standards out there, each with its own learning curve. Having a sound understanding of how these standards actually can provide real value to your business and customers is critical.

Are you interested in getting involved in breakthrough innovations in life sciences? We provide scientific and clinical translation & commericalisation support for implementing new breed of digital twin applications in healthcare. These are not merely application of AI on arbitrary healthcare data but underpinned by:
- High quality and structured EHR data; building upon FHIR and openEHR and annotated with clinical terminology/ontology
- Various predictive AI algorithms for risk assessment and clinical & population levels decision support
- Constrained by physics based multi-scale mathematical models and simulations at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole body and even population levels. See: the Physiome Project and world leading research at Auckland Bioengineering Institute in New Zealand. Time Magazine also has an excellent article on this.
