Aurora for Cardiomyopathy - Boston Advanced Analytics

Cardiologists and other cardiovascular medical staff struggle with access to live data at the point of care. Rummaging through files to find out if certain genetic tests or diagnostic procedures were performed is not uncommon. Further challenges stem from the ability to extract and analyze the raw text data that is typically provided as part of generalized EMR solutions. This raw data represents lab and test results from other sources but is not actionable for clinicians when seeing patients.
