seriously , explains Lavin . “ There is a lot of valuable information available online , from banks to stock market trading and people have learned to trust the systems . Health data shouldn ’ t be any less secure than other digital services .”
When applied securely , IDD could transform patient care . The additional data , especially the combination of all the data together , will lead to a better view of the patient that judging a person by a single metric – like the cholesterol value LDL – will be viewed as antiquated .
“ I think most doctors understand that one metric alone is not sufficient today , but they lack access to the tools and data at the scale that ’ s needed to put it into practice ,” says Lavin .
Over the next year , LifeOmic is going to be busy working with different companies to make their vision of Integrative Digital Diagnostics a reality .“ We ’ ll be working to provide those startups with the tools they need to quickly get their products to market ,” says Lavin .
Along with helping medical device companies collect and share more data to feed the advancements in personalised care , LifeOmic will focus on what makes a startup ’ s algorithm or device unique – just like the patient it serves .
