A joint steering committee will be formed to supervise the partnership.
Concerto HealthAI CEO Jeff Elton said: “This collaboration aims to find and help patients who may benefit from new therapeutic combinations.
“We are using our definitive real-world data, AI-enabled abstraction, data science expertise, and strength in outcomes research to identify new and more precise treatment options; refine study designs; and speed-up the completion times for various outcomes studies.”
Last month, Concerto HealthAI partnered with Bristol-Myers Squibb to use real-world evidence for precision oncology.
Under the multi-year deal, the partners agreed to leverage AI and machine learning to drive cancer clinical trials and obtain insights for precision therapy and better patient outcomes.
