PASADENA, Calif., July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Deep 6 AI, the leader in
AI-powered patient recruitment and real-world data (RWD), announced
the appointment of Doug Cassidy as
president of its Precision Research Ecosystem. The Deep 6 AI
Ecosystem is the largest network of health systems and life
sciences companies, enabling over 45 member organizations to
de-risk and accelerate clinical trials, and
next-generation RWE projects, while significantly reducing the
workload for staff.
"Doug Cassidy, formerly our SVP
and GM of healthcare organizations, has led the growth of our
Ecosystem—from the first site, Cedars-Sinai in 2017, to the launch
of our life sciences vertical in 2021, to now," said Wout
Brusselaers, founder and CEO of Deep 6 AI. "With over 25 years of
diversified experience exclusively in the healthcare IT and
clinical research technology sectors, Cassidy is poised to take on
an expanded role as president of the Deep 6 AI Precision Research
Ecosystem to drive its continued growth and improve collaboration
between sites and sponsors."
Cassidy's distinguished career is marked by his leadership roles
at industry giants such as GE Healthcare, Orion Health
(New Zealand), Hyland Software,
and Dedalus (Italy). As a
biomedical engineer and computer scientist, Cassidy's technical and
subject matter expertise spans specialties including computer-aided
detection (CAD), healthcare data interoperability, enterprise
content management, disease management, and population health.
"Stepping into my new role is an exciting opportunity to
increase collaboration between the sites, sponsors, and technology
and services partners in our Ecosystem," said Doug Cassidy, president, Deep 6 AI Precision
Research Ecosystem. "Research is delayed when key stakeholders
don't have access to the crucial information they need. The Deep 6
AI precision research ecosystem connects all stakeholders by
providing a platform for researchers to work together to match the
right patients to the right studies at the right time."
What distinguishes the Deep 6 AI Precision Research Ecosystem is
that it gives all sites and sponsors transparency into the
real-time availability of patients eligible for research. The
software uses AI and NLP to query electronic medical record (EMR)
data across entire health networks, including coded data, clinician
notes, sequenced data, labs, pathology reports, and other clinical
data to find patients. Healthcare organizations that become part of
the Ecosystem use the company's AI-powered software platform
enterprise-wide for investigator-initiated, government-funded, and
sponsored trials. Often, the technology is managed centrally (i.e.,
by the Clinical Trials Office) which makes it strongly integrated
with healthcare workflows to create actionability and reduce site
staff burden.
As part of the Deep 6 AI Precision Research Ecosystem,
healthcare organizations can assess study feasibility faster, cut
down on staff time screening patients, find more patients for
trials, engage more physicians in research, and improve
collaboration with sponsors. Pharmaceutical companies that
participate can collaborate with an established network of sites
that already have the platform embedded in their workflow. They
help reduce site burden by delivering screen-ready, AI-matched
patient 'lists' to IRB-approved staff who can easily identify and
validate patients with evidence in the chart.
