Curt Medeiros: 我创立Ovation的初衷是利用大量未被充分利用的临床数据和样本,这些数据和样本遍布美国乃至全球的实验室。我们开发了一个软件平台,能够识别高价值的患者数据,对数据进行脱敏处理,并将其作为多组学数据推向市场。这对于推动精准医疗,特别是肿瘤学和罕见病以外的疾病的精准医疗至关重要。我们收集了超过160万个样本,涵盖超过60万名患者,其中三分之一是组织样本。我们的数据集具有很高的代表性,包括来自不同种族和族裔的患者,这对于研究不同人群对药物的反应至关重要。我们与Illumina等公司建立了合作伙伴关系,进一步扩大数据规模和多样性,并提高数据的质量和价值。我们致力于与制药公司、生物技术公司、学术机构和医疗系统合作,促进更广泛的研究和决策,最终目标是改善患者健康,并降低医疗成本。 我们面临的挑战包括数据的可用性和经济性,以及如何确保患者数据的隐私和安全。我们采用行业标准技术对数据进行脱敏处理,确保患者信息不会被重新识别。我们与合作伙伴密切合作,确保数据的使用和传输方式符合所有相关法规和伦理准则。 未来,我们将继续扩大数据规模,并开发更先进的数据分析和模型构建技术,为客户提供更全面的解决方案。我们相信,通过大规模、高质量、多样化的多组学数据,我们可以加速药物研发,提高药物疗效,并最终改善患者的治疗效果。 Chris Picardo: 作为一名投资者,我见证了Ovation公司在精准医疗领域取得的显著进展。Ovation公司利用其独特的技术和数据资源,为制药公司和研究人员提供了宝贵的数据支持,推动了精准医疗的发展。Ovation公司的数据集规模庞大,涵盖了广泛的患者群体,并且注重患者数据的隐私和安全,这使其在精准医疗领域具有独特的竞争优势。我相信Ovation公司将继续在精准医疗领域发挥重要作用,为患者带来更好的治疗效果。

Imagine a future where healthcare isn’t just reactive but deeply personalized — where every patient gets the right treatment at the right time based on a precise understanding of their biology. This is the future Ovation is building, and on this week’s Founded & Funded, Madrona Partner Chris Picardo dives into it all with Ovation CEO Curt Medeiros.

From transforming underutilized clinical data into rich multiomics datasets to forging industry-leading partnerships with companies like Illumina, Curt shares how Ovation is shaping the future of precision medicine. He also opens up about the challenges of building a scalable, privacy-first platform, the lessons he’s brought from leading large healthcare businesses, and why collaboration and diversity are key to solving complex problems in healthcare.
