Precision Medicine is a Destination The current state is often beyond digitization of the medical record and the adoption of genomic technologies How is data accessible for analysis? Curation and harmonization Availability of outcomes data Challenges with data sharing Once clinical and genomic and outcomes data is aggregated the initial steps to Precision Medicine are enabled © Copyright 2016 4

Genomic Medicine Adoption Challenges Ease of sequencing (NGS) belies the challenge of clinical interpretation General lack of comprehensive (and error-free) knowledge base(s) Need for expert bioinformaticians to explore and analyze relevant evidence from disparate sources Need for review of information within the context of prior interpretations © Copyright 2016 5

Introducing the iPhronesis TM Platform Optra Health has invested in technologies that are exposed as platform services Natural language processing has been extended to understand genomics in unstructured data Preconfigured connections to disparate data sources simplify data access (for the bioinformatician) Knowledge automation enabled through deep machine learning capabilities Optra Health can extend these services with its 100+ development staff, and seeks to partner with solution providers Initial focus on bioinformatician (in demo) is being broadened to address needs of variant curator/interpreter and the lab director © Copyright 2016 6

Demonstration Overview Once the data is aggregated, bottlenecks can be overcome allowing for initial Precision Medicine efforts to take shape Standardization / harmonization activities can be applied in a facile manner Moving beyond manual curation to extract useful knowledge from text and access phenotypic and clinical information, will be critical to realizing Precision Medicine outcomes Leveraging a modular platform approach provides easy access to all data forms Pre-configured reports included, and can be modified per user specs © Copyright 2016 7
