RemedyMD (www.RemedyMD.com),
the leading provider of disease
registry software, today announced the first nationwide human
immunology registry for infectious disease research. The new
registry was developed to help clinicians and researchers better
understand the human immune response to emerging and re-emerging
infectious diseases.
Aligned with the Institute of Medicine’s Top 100 Priorities for Comparative
Effectiveness Research (CER), RemedyMD’s human immunology registry
will help researchers develop new vaccines to protect against infectious
diseases such as:
Influenza
Dengue fever
Anthrax
Hepatitis C
and help researchers understand how the immune system develops its own
protections and how harmless microorganisms in the lungs, intestines and
other mucosal surfaces protect against harmful microbes that enter the
body through these sites.
The registry includes all of the applications, data infrastructure, and
tools that clinicians and researchers need to gather, synthesize and
analyze both phenotypic and genotypic data simultaneously.
“Our experience has shown when you view and report across all data types
at the same time, you discover patterns and associations that are
indistinguishable using traditional methodologies,” said Gary D.
Kennedy, Founder and CEO of RemedyMD.
RemedyMD’s new human
immunology registry leverages existing clinical and EHR data and
includes a comprehensive set of electronic data collection (EDC) forms
that are specific to immunology research, ad hoc reporting capability,
and pattern recognition tools that assist users in identifying novel
conclusions as they search for the most effective treatment options.
In support of this initiative RemedyMD is seeking additional partners
who have existing data that addresses the specific needs of immunology
researchers. All institutions involved in comparative effectiveness
research are invited to visit: http://www.remedymd.com/cer100/human_immunology.html.
