Syapse debuts clinical ‘omics’ reporting software

Syapse has introduced Syapse for Labs, clinical omics reporting software for generating complex molecular profiling test reports and delivering them to physicians via a Web portal.

The application manages patient clinical information, omics data, and supporting laboratory data. Biomedical evidence, such as variant interpretation, is stored in a versioned knowledge base. A configurable rules engine automatically assembles patient test reports and updates them as the evidence in the knowledge base evolves.

Molecular diagnostics laboratories can configure Syapse for Labs to support their data and test formats, as well as brand the Syapse for Labs physician-facing clinic interface. The laboratories can also use the offering to collect patients’ clinical and outcomes data as evidence to support clinical utility.
