Toronto, Ontario, Canada / TheNewswire /
June 9, 2016: Open Source Health Inc. (CSE:OSH),
(Frankfurt:0OS), a cloud
based precision medicine platform that puts control into the hands of women to educate, advocate and collaborate on their own
healthcare is pleased to announce the launch of the myAva Precision Medicine Platform with it’s first cohort of women in Atlanta,
GA.
“After 2 years of development we are finally set to deliver precision medicine to women
with PCOS” says Sonya Satveit, CEO of Open Source Health Inc. “By providing an in-depth
molecular insight of each woman, myAva will help achieve a new understanding of PCOS and has the potential to provide precision
treatment programs customized to each woman’s unique molecular makeup.”
OSH has partnered with Medici Medial Arts – Center for Integrative Medicine and will
work with their integrative healthcare team to deliver precision medicine to women in the Atlanta area.
The first use case for the myAva Precision Medicine platform is to support PCOS
Precision Medicine by creating “digital version of each woman” based on her molecular makeup, biometric data, clinical evidence
combined with the latest scientific knowledge. This digital version of each woman will contain molecular level information such as
genetic information, blood proteins and metabolites, gut and vaginal microbiome, vital signs and biometric data collected from
wearable technology (e.g., heart rate, activity levels, sleep patterns), self-reported data such as quality of life and
environmental conditions. This data will be integrated and analyzed using computational biology approaches cross-referenced with
the latest scientific and clinical findings to objectively characterize health status and to identify potential transitions from
health to disease using various molecular metrics. Participants will receive regular analysis and consultation with a healthcare
professional to interpret data and discuss options to maintain a healthy state and/or to match therapy to the particular disease
state they may have or be trending towards. myAva will produce a personalized health dash board that highlights actionable
items and tracks progress towards optimal health in real time.
The myAva platform will be offered to medical clinics that focus on women’s health on a
“per patient” subscription basis. myAva will integrate into the current EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems in use by the
clinic effectively adding precision medicine to the installed base of EHRs.
Additional revenue from product and service sales and a percentage of all provider
billings through the system are also included in the revenue model. OSH estimates revenue in the $2,000.00 - $3,000.00 USD
per patient annually. OSH expects each clinic will be able to support 3,000 to 5,000 PCOS patients annually using the myAva
platform. There are 7 million women with PCOS in America today with global prevalence rates affecting from 10% – 20% of
women. For example India is experiencing some of the highest prevalence rates today exceeding 20%.
OSH plans to add additional clinics later in 2016.
