IBM and Mayo Clinic have agreed to jointly develop an information system designed to give Mayo Clinic investigators access to information that can help them identify potential clinical trial participants faster. During the first phase, the database system will be fully loaded with archival data that can immediately support and enhance a wide variety of research, including epidemiological studies of selected disease categories. This initial work, which will be completed in the second quarter of this year, could enable Mayo Clinic investigators to begin correlating patient data, including demographics, diagnoses and results of tests performed to establish these diagnoses. The goal of subsequent phases will be to bring in aggregate patient genomic information, as well as proteomic data and research information, from a variety of databases, while always protecting the confidentiality of Mayo Clinic patients. LifeMasters Supported SelfCare, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics have signed an agreement for development of a new Web-based Diabetes management tool called Diabetes Assistant Program. The tool provides a free Web-based service that helps patients and physicians monitor, track and benchmark blood glucose levels. The Web-based service also provides immediate access to longitudinal data for patients and physicians, assisting healthcare providers in the maintenance of effective disease management regimens. Varian, Inc. has introduced Galaxie, a Chromatography Data System, that helps laboratories link liquid and gas chromatography instruments from multiple vendors into a single, easy-to-manage network. The Galaxie system was developed by the recently acquired Varian-JMBS group in Grenoble, France.
