Unlocking the Power of Ophthalmology Data and Research with Qdata® Explorer

The need for precision and innovation in ophthalmology is critical. Both directly impact patient outcomes, treatment effectiveness, and the advancement of care. 

For example, ophthalmic conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration can progress without any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. The best way to detect early signs of disease is to analyze real-world data (RWD), such as electronic health records (EHRs). This can help identify disease patterns and assist in earlier diagnosis and treatments.

Verana Health specializes in applying artificial intelligence (AI) techniques (e.g., machine learning and natural language processing) to analyze patterns of language in unstructured clinical notes of EHRs that can reveal clinical insights throughout the patient journey.

Through the power of AI and ML algorithms — and an exclusive partnership with the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS^® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) — our team has developed Qdata^® modules. These fit-for-purpose, research-ready datasets are valuable in helping life sciences companies generate real-world evidence (RWE) for ophthalmology research and improve patient outcomes. 

To further accelerate ophthalmology research and treatments, Verana Health recently announced the launch of Qdata Explorer, a powerful visualization tool designed to allow life sciences companies to easily explore our real-world datasets in ophthalmology

To further accelerate ophthalmology research and treatments, Verana Health recently announced the launch of Qdata Explorer, a powerful visualization tool designed to allow life sciences companies to easily explore our real-world datasets in ophthalmology. Qdata Explorer is a subscription-based tool that enables users to build and share patient cohorts, generate insights, and make informed decisions without needing coding skills.   

3 Key Benefits of Qdata Explorer

Qdata Explorer is a cloud-based solution that offers the following advantages:

1. Democratizes Access to High-Quality Data
   Every team member can explore Qdata, regardless of technical skills. With its easy-to-navigate interface, Qdata Explorer enables rapid exploration of disease-specific patient cohorts and insights, empowering even non-technical users.
2. Accelerates Hypothesis Generation
   The application accelerates the speed at which research teams can generate and validate hypotheses. By leveraging expertly curated datasets, researchers can quickly form and test ideas, drastically reducing the time needed for early-stage studies.
3. Provides an Exclusive Data Source
   Qdata Explorer offers access to exclusive, de-identified data derived from the IRIS Registry — data on 80 million de-identified patients from 15,000 contributing clinicians. This makes it a critical resource for life sciences companies aiming to gain a competitive edge.
