Where/how does BioHarmony get the data for its reports?
BioHarmony searches the semantic (machine-readable) web to identify and consolidate the wealth of clinical and economic information that is available for prescription drugs. Hundreds of validated databases exist, each containing unique information regarding agency approved drug use, the biological drug target, clinical features of the targeted disease, or drug revenue. By leveraging semantic identifiers, BioHarmony interconnects reliable databases to extract, consolidate, and standardize existing information into a single, machine-readable, and artificial intelligence (AI)-ready report. Algorithms are run daily, ensuring reports contain the latest information. A visual representation of the different sources we search and extract information from is shown in the semantic network graph below.
Example of BioHarmony’s semantic network graph. Blue and orange circles represent data sources; green circles indicate the information extracted from each source. Gray circles represent unambiguous, semantic identifiers that can be used to connect information across multiple data sources.
