DUBLIN: BlackBerry and Nant Health the big data Health Company announced the NantOmics Cancer Genome Browser, designs to give doctors intense access to patients’ genetic data in real time.
BlackBerry’s point of view is that NantOmics gives the brand a bigger presence in the beneficial health care field. But this is also about pushing its hardware in the enterprise, given that the NantOmics Cancer Genome Browser platform is coming pre loaded on the BlackBerry Passport.
Founder and CEO of NantHealth Patrick Soon Shiong BlackBerry already powers many of the diagnostic machines clinicians depends heavily upon so it makes sense to tie those devices directly to a BlackBerry smartphone.
The new platform will provide deep, interactive reporting on genomics data for Passport toting physicians and others working in the medical profession. Keen to sell the Passport’s high res screen, BlackBerry says that it will allow “clinicians to view a patient’s chromosome at an individual base pair level.
