Ontonix Signs Collaboration Agreement with US Army Institute of Surgical Research
/Como, May 3-rd, 2010. Ontonix has signed a Co-operative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) based in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. This CRADA represents an important milestone in Ontonix´s endeavor to deploy complexity analysis technology in the healthcare space.
Ontonix develops COSMOS, a multi-channel real-time system which quantifies the stability of hospitalized patients. Based on streaming data, originating from sensors and other monitoring devices such as those in an Intensive Care Unit, the device measures the instantaneous degree of stability of a patient. The system also signals when the mentioned stability undergoes changes due to traumas, side-effects of treatment or any other dynamic mutations within the patient´s organism. The technology is unique in that it processes simultaneously all channels, analyzing all the cross-relationships, delivering a truly holistic view of the patient´s state. Most importantly, since the collected data is processed by the system according to a model-free technique, the measure of stability of the patient is not biased by any particular mathematical approach.
