关于客户
LifeArc is a UK-based medical research charity that has been bridging the gap between the lab and the patient for over 25 years. The organization provides scientific know-how, technology transfer expertise, and funding to help turn promising early-stage science into medical breakthroughs that transform lives. LifeArc has a strategy of 'making life science life changing' and partners with academics, industry, charities, and patients to transform the way diseases are identified and treated. The organization is committed to investing up to £1.3 billion (approx. $1.75B) by 2030 to advance lab-based scientific discoveries into the next generation of diagnostics, treatments, and cures. Medicines developed from LifeArc's humanized antibodies are already helping patients with a range of conditions, from cancer and Crohn's disease to multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. A further eight potential medicines are in clinical trials. Recently, as part of the UK's Therapeutics Antibody Taskforce, LifeArc helped screen over 600 antibodies to create a Covid-19 'antibody cocktail'.
挑战
LifeArc, a UK medical research charity, is dedicated to transforming early-stage science into medical breakthroughs. The organization has a diverse range of scientific activities, from small molecules to engineered antibodies, which generates a variety of data types. This data is stored in operational databases and needs to be accessible for visualization and analytics. LifeArc also collaborates with a number of external organizations, adding to the complexity of the data sources. The challenge was to create an informatics system that could handle this complexity and streamline workflows, while also facilitating the process of ideation, which had historically been separated from informatics.
解决方案
LifeArc leveraged Dotmatics' suite of tools to develop a comprehensive Design Make and Test platform, termed the 'LifeArc Ideas Factory'. The informatics system was built to provide data via Dotmatics Browser, with Blueprint and Browser being well connected. Microservices were used to generate calculated properties, machine learning or models that could be injected into the Blueprint environment. Dotmatics Bioregister was used for registering all biologics to ensure entity uniqueness and protect intellectual property. The Ideas Factory allowed scientists to use Dotmatics Blueprint in a concerted manner, bringing all data to the modelling suite. The system also allowed for the capture of all ideas, whether they came from a modelling suite, cheminformatics platform, or a virtual reality (VR) environment. In the VR environment, researchers could combine data from Blueprint and molecular models and track the results in an ideas database. Dotmatics Chemselector was also used in VR, allowing chemists to search publicly available databases for analogues or matched-pairs, pull them into VR, do some modelling and use Blueprint for further analysis.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
