REFS Platform

Dynamic causal machine learning platform that discovers underlying cause and effect relationships and grows smarter over time

REFS (Reverse Engineering, Forward Simulation) is different from other types of artificial intelligence platforms. As a causal machine learning platform, REFS works by transparently discovering the cause and effect relationships within data of all types, from the very granular to the more systemic. REFS discovers insights that are often unforeseen directly from the data, without limiting it with prior knowledge– what some would call “hypothesis free”. This is an important distinction because human biology and disease is complex and there’s still much to learn and much we don’t yet understand. By transforming millions of data points – clinical, genetic, genomic, lab, imaging, drug, consumer, geographic, pharmacy, mobile, proteomic data and others – REFS calculates and explains the causal relationships that drive the specific outcomes. There is no black box to our technology.

Despite the wealth of data, collecting and aggregating it is only the first step. To derive value from all this data, you need to leverage new technology that can unravel the complexity of biology and turn it into actionable insights that can advance personalized medicine initiatives.

Once the causal models are built and validated, hundreds of thousands of simulations are run through REFS, to discover novel insights at rapid speed. The simulations provide answers to a number of “what if” questions, like what if the patient was on this drug versus another, or what would happen if we used this intervention now.

REFS allows biopharma companies to identify which patients will respond to a drug, pinpoint biomarkers that show the most promise for patient response and run in silico clinical trials to understand how their drugs work in the real world. With REFS, health plans can identify the right intervention for the right patient at the right time.

Foundations are able to better understand disease pathways and how illnesses progress so new treatments can be developed. Most importantly. REFS is making precision medicine a reality for stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem.
