TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RTI International, a nonprofit
research institute, and Nested Knowledge, a platform for AI-driven
evidence synthesis, systematic literature review and meta-analysis,
formally announce a strategic collaboration between the two
organizations.
The Collaboration Agreement will provide clients with the
opportunity to use advanced tech-enabled research services by
leveraging the capabilities of the RTI Health Solutions (RTI-HS)
business unit and Gen-AI tools for systematic literature reviews.
RTI will also make an equity investment in Nested Knowledge.
"We're thrilled to partner with Nested Knowledge," said Senior
Vice President Chris Simmons, head
of RTI Health Solutions. "Their tools enhance scientific standards
in life science and healthcare research and have already allowed
our team to conduct rapid systematic literature reviews and to
generate evidence-based insights for our clients."
Nested Knowledge provides a platform designed for creating and
presenting living evidence libraries from published medical
literature. Nested Knowledge is also a leading provider of
AI-backed systematic and targeted literature reviews. RTI-HS has
been working with Nested Knowledge's new Gen-AI tools for its
complex data extraction and design needs for literature reviews.
Under the Collaboration Agreement, clients have the opportunity to
benefit from enhanced analytical and technical capabilities focused
on specific clinical inquiries or outcomes.
"We see RTI as a perfect partner for both using and expanding
our platform's capabilities," said Kevin
Kallmes, CEO and founder of Nested Knowledge. "We have been
impressed with their rapid adoption and successful completion of
reviews using our tools, specifically novel 'living' systematic
review outputs. The combination of investment, collaborative
research and co-commercialization should not only advance the field
of evidence synthesis but also provide concrete, transparent, and
actionable direction and demonstration of responsible use of
Gen-AI."
RTI is committed to using Gen-AI in an ethical, safe and
transparent way. The institute's investment in Nested Knowledge
adds to its investment portfolio spanning domains including
clinical research technology, precision medicine, healthcare
analytics, patient engagement solutions, population health and
diagnostic testing.
