Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems fail to accurately predict pharmacological phenotypes, including drug response and disease risk, as they do not utilize chromatin state, genomic regulatory elements, epigenomics, proteomics, or metabolomics, and do not consider environmental and sociological characteristics that influence genetic traits over time.

Innovation Solution

A pharmacological phenotype prediction system trained with machine learning techniques that analyzes panomic, sociological, and environmental data to predict drug responses, disease risks, and other pharmacological phenotypes by generating a statistical model that incorporates genomic, epigenomic, chromatin state, proteomic, and metabolomic data, along with sociological and environmental factors.

AI summary

For patients who exhibit or may exhibit primary or comorbid disease, pharmacological phenotypes may be predicted through the collection of panomic data over a period of time. A machine learning engine may generate a statistical model based on training data from training patients to predict pharmacological phenotypes, including drug response and dosing, drug adverse events, disease and comorbid disease risk, drug-gene, drug-drug, and polypharmacy interactions. Then the model may be applied to data for new patients to predict their pharmacological phenotypes, and enable decision making in clinical and research contexts, including drug selection and dosage, changes in drug regimens, polypharmacy optimization, monitoring, etc., to benefit from additional predictive power, resulting in adverse event and substance abuse avoidance, improved drug response, better patient outcomes, lower treatment costs, public health benefits, and increases in the effectiveness of research in pharmacology and other biomedical fields.
