Within the framework of U-PGx, an EU project for promoting the use of pharmacogenetic insights in healthcare, the Medical University of Vienna (MUW) will implement the Genetic Information Management Suite (GIMS) developed by bio.logis Genetic Information Management GmbH. The platform is the first of its kind to largely automatically translate genetic analysis results from laboratories into easily understood diagnostic reports, including the right treatment recommendations from the internationally renowned KNMP (the Royal Dutch Pharmacists Association). Here, the MUW uses the Diagnostic Report Module (GIMS.DRM) in combination with a QR-based safety code card, developed by MUW, for patients. This card is used to make patients’ personal analysis results accessible.

Bio.logis Readies New Clinical Genetic Data Interpretation Tools Amid Growing Customer Interest
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Bio.logis, a Frankfurt, Germany-based informatics company, is planning multiple upgrades to its flagship clinical genetic data interpretation tool as it continues to win new customers across Europe. CMO Maike Post said that the firm will launch two new analysis modules for its Genetic Information Management Suite next year, in addition to a new pharmacogenomics mobile application.

Laboratoires Réunis group is a further client for bio.logis Genetic Information Management GmbH’s “Genetic Information Management Suite (GIMS)”, specially developed for genetic diagnostics. Usage will initially focus on establishing the creation of highly complex diagnostic reports with a maximum degree of efficiency and automation.

The “pharma.sensor” developed by bio.logis Genetic Information Management GmbH (bio.logis GIM) is a new mobile app for pharmacogenomics. The app shows whether certain DNA variants have to be considered for the safe efficacy of a drug. With this knowledge, the app user can identify if genotyping is useful prior of starting a drug therapy. The drug check is performed by simply entering a drug name or scanning the barcode on the packaging. The app is available in German and English via the Apple app store and is free of charge.

bio.logis Genetic Information Management GmbH was present at the European Human Genetics Conference from May 27 to 30, 2017.

The "Genetic Information Management Suite", or GIMS in short, supports laboratories in efficiently translating laboratory findings into clinically leverageable and easily understood information for physicians and patients. At the heart of the software suite is the "Diagnostic Report Module", or DRM, enabling up to 95% of cost and time savings when creating diagnostic reports. With the introduction of the "Report Layout Engine" (RLE), bio.logis is expanding GIMS by another key building block to respond yet more flexibly to the requests and needs of diagnostic laboratories.

This EU-funded project is part of the Horizon 2020 program “Ubiquitous Pharmacogenomics“ (U-PGx) and aimed at driving the implementation of pharmacogenetics in diagnostic and clinical practice. The objective is to treat patients with medication and doses that are ideally suited to their personal genetic make-up. As part of this project, bio.logis Genetic Information Management GmbH, based in Frankfurt, will make its GIMS Genetic Information Management Suite available, which was specifically developed for genetic diagnostics. GIMS has now been implemented in the first three of a total of seven European university hospitals, enabling maximized efficiency in creating customized reports with easily understood pharmacogenetic recommendations for physicians and patients.

Last weekend bio.logis contributed to a successful Drupal Camp 2017 in Frankfurt with 3 sessions, 1 informal discussion group (“Birds of a feather” session, BoF) and a Gold Sponsorship.
