– Announcement made in advance of World Clinical Trials Day 2023 in May – Akkure recently deployed the world’s first ‒Global Genomic Clinical Trial Finder– leveraging an exclusive early adopter innovation partnership with Microsoft AI for Health – The ‒finder– can be easily added to a website and is free to use for both charities and their communities

DUBLIN, Ireland, April 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Akkure Genomics, a leading Irish AI healthcare company has today announced the release of a free version of its new ‒Global Genomic Clinical Trials Finder– for charities to use on their website, in advance of World Clinical Trials Day 2023 on 20 May next.

Akkure has developed the world’s first ‒precision medicine– genomic clinical trial matcher integrating millions of DNA based variants into an enterprise grade AI model that matches patients to potentially suitable clinical trials, according to the trial’s eligibility criteria and patient data.

The finder, which augments Microsoft’s recently unveiled AI ‒Health Insights” technology, helps find relevant clinical trials on a global scale which are personalised to match each individual patient. Microsoft has also partnered with the prestigious John’s Hopkins University Medical Center on its other ‒Health Insights” enterprise AI platform, the Oncology Phenotype.

Currently, there are over 450,000 clinical trials worldwide (based on clinicaltrials.gov) with increasingly complicated trial eligibility criteria including genetic variants. However, enrolment in clinical trials is based on manual screening of millions of patients, each with up to hundreds of clinical notes requiring review and analysis by a healthcare professional, making it an inaccurate, costly, time consuming and ultimately unsustainable process.

Traditionally, about 80% of delays in clinical trial timelines are accounted for patient recruitment and retention, with over 50% of recruitment failing to meet the stipulated timeline, meaning expensive drugs, and missed opportunities for patients.

Akkure’s Clinical Trial Matcher model aims to solve this multi-billion dollar problem for patients and pharmaceutical companies.

Akkure, founded in 2019 by Professor Oran Rigby and Professor Amy Hollingsworth, currently employs 20 people and is headquartered at NexusUCD in Dublin.

Dr Oran Rigby, Founder, Akkure Genomics said, ‒At Akkure Genomics we leverage Microsoft’s technology, to empower our own AI platform capabilities and genomic based technology, to help patients get matched to clinical trials based on their individual medical diagnoses, thus boosting enrolment, improving the chances of finding an optimised precision-matched trial for patients and ultimately accelerating discovery of new therapeutics and individual cures.

We are delighted to be able to provide a version of this service for free to charities around the world to help their communities find suitable trials not only more efficiently but offering real hope of the best trial for the right patient.–

Clinical Trials Day is observed on 20 May every year to mark the anniversary of the day in 1747 when James Lind conducted the first randomised clinical study.

Interested charities can request more information at Akkure.com/AI-trial-finder.

BEIJING, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Beijing, as a capital of five dynasties in history, preserves rich historical heritage, such as traditional buildings and hutongs (alleys). Yangmeizhu Xiejie, an alley in Xicheng District of Beijing, is regarded as one of Beijing’s ten most beautiful alleys for its historical charm, traditional culture and the shops with creative designs and products.

 

Since 2013, the government Xicheng District has been working on renovation of Yangmeizhu Xiejie, including the residences and shops along the alley, which is supported by the residents. After renovation, the shops maintain their original building styles while expanding new functions and space with creative designs, attracting investments from both home and abroad.

If take a walk in Yangmeizhu Xiejie, one can find a vibrant alley that blends traditional architecture with modern lifestyle and cultural creativity. Yangmeizhu Xiejie presents a scene of everyday life in Beijing’s alleys: clothes hung out in resident courtyard for drying, the hustle and bustle of vegetable markets, and smoke from kitchen chimneys.

The alley also gathers many cultural spaces that integrate traditional culture with contemporary design. Shopkeepers from both home and abroad have started their creative businesses in the alley, reflecting Beijing’s openness and inclusiveness. Each corner of the alley offers a glimpse into the local lifestyle and culture, making it an ideal destination for those who want to experience the authentic hutong culture.

When night falls, the alley restores to quiet again as tourists leave. Local residents continue to enjoy the leisure in the alley. The harmony is well maintained between the residents and neighboring business in the alley, promoting the sustainable development of the traditional Beijing lifestyle and moderate commercial activities.

Yangmeizhu Xiejie represents a successful case of Beijing’s effort to preserve its cultural heritage and promote innovation, serving as a living museum of the urban life in old Beijing.
