Clinical Trial Matching

Bowhead Navigator: Accelerating Personalized Care Through AI-Powered NGS Analysis

The Challenge: A Race Against Time

Imagine Sarah, a patient battling a relentless form of breast cancer. Traditional treatments haven't yielded results, and time is of the essence. Her oncologist desperately seeks new options, but deciphering complex Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) reports is a time-consuming task. These reports hold the key to personalized therapies, potentially including groundbreaking clinical trials. However, manual review of these data-rich reports takes hours, further straining overwhelmed healthcare workers.

The Pain Points:

• Overburdened Professionals: NGS report interpretation requires specialized skills and consumes valuable healthcare worker time.

• Inefficient Trial Matching: Navigating the labyrinth of clinical trial eligibility criteria slows down the identification of potential life-saving options.

• Delays in Treatment: The current process of obtaining NGS reports and finding suitable trials can take a week or more – a luxury patients like Sarah often don't have.

Bowhead Navigator: A Powerful Solution

Bowhead Navigator, powered by the advanced Meditron LLAMA 70B, offers a transformative solution. This Large Language Model (LLM) is specifically trained on medical data and leverages cutting-edge Retriever-Answer Generator (RAG) systems. These systems access vast medical databases and validated community-contributed datasets to automate clinical trial matching decision support.

Transforming the Process:

• Automated NGS Analysis: Bowhead Navigator streamlines the process by automatically interpreting complex genetic data from NGS reports.

• Precision Matching: Advanced algorithms compare this data with global clinical trial databases, identifying potential matches with exceptional accuracy and speed.

• From Days to Seconds: What used to take days of diligent work by healthcare workers now happens in seconds.

A New Ray of Hope for Sarah:

Bowhead Navigator doesn't just improve efficiency; it empowers patients. Instead of waiting anxiously, Sarah can be presented with potential clinical trial options for her oncologist to consider, significantly accelerating the path to potentially life-saving treatment.

Bowhead Navigator's Impact:

• Reduced Burden on Healthcare Workers: Automates tedious NGS report review, freeing up valuable time for patient care.

• Simplified Clinical Trial Matching: Makes trial identification efficient and accurate, increasing the chance of finding suitable options.

• Faster Access to Treatment: Reduces the time to match patients with trials – from weeks to seconds – expediting the journey to effective therapies.

For patients like Sarah, Bowhead Navigator represents more than a faster process; it embodies a renewed hope - a chance to find the right treatment and fight for their future.
