OSLO, NORWAY – August 29, 2011 – Through Coremine Medical, physicians, researchers, pharmacists and other medical professionals have a tool that simplifies research in the biomedical text sphere, and ultimately helps find better treatment.
Coremine Medical provides qualified connections between medical concepts such as diseases, drugs, treatments, symptoms, genes, and medical experts. With Coremine Medical, users get access to vast amounts of medical information from high quality sources such as MEDLINE/PubMed, DrugBank, ClinicalTrials, and a continuously increasing number of key biomedical information sources.
The Coremine platform will enable users to build communities through advanced search engine type of search, Wikipedia type of user updates, and social media type of information sharing and user interactions. Through this tool, the user can access relevant information, associate own information, and communicate contexts of information to colleagues and professionals.
Coremine Medical can be used in education both by lecturers and students. Teams of researchers can collaborate on articles within the Coremine platform, collecting and sharing relevant information and be indexed on the fly. Users can create (and share) unique dynamical biomedical mind maps for navigation, communication, surveillance and collaboration.
Coremine Medical allows users to find qualified information that otherwise is difficult to reach, and through alerts stay updated on all relevant topics. Coremine gives the user full information about all concept synonyms within a single search, saving hours of manual lookup.
Coremine is ideal for achieving an overview of a complex subject while allowing the possibility to narrow down to specific details. Search results are presented in a dashboard format comprised of panels containing various categories of information ranging from introductory sources to the latest scientific articles.
“With Coremine Medical, physicians can effectively help individualize and tailor treatment of a patient. The user can analyze each unique case against similar cases throughout the medical sphere, also with respect to genetical conditions“, says CEO of PubGene, Odd Arild Lehne.
“Coremine revolutionizes the work of adjusting treatment to each individual case with respect to genetics and choice of treatment,” says Lehne.
