Introduction
PASS Software is a dynamic software company which develops and implements software systems for healthcare organisations. We focus in particular on clinical genetic centers and vascular / lipid centers with our system PASS.
We have over 50 customers in different countries such as in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, England and New Zealand.
Our Mission:
Making software designed to save lives.
For instance, PASS is used in countries like the Netherlands and England for population screenings to identify individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Without treatment, someone with FH is four times more likely to die prematurely from cardiovascular diseases compared to those without FH. This is just one of the many applications of PASS, showcasing its capability to embody our motto, "prevention is better than cure," a principle we wholeheartedly embrace.
What we do
PASS is a comprehensive management information system tailored for clinical genetics centers. It assists laboratory staff, genetic counselors, and researchers in their work, offering a unique blend of functionalities:
1. pedigree drawing
2. patient data registration
3. workflow management
This versatility allows PASS to be utilized for research into genetic disorders, aiding geneticists in mapping family trees. Moreover, it has demonstrated exceptional utility in large-scale national genetic screening programs, proving to be an invaluable asset in the field.
Our vision for the future of PASS:
Pedigree drawing AI
Creating medical family trees is a sophisticated process. When we map these trees across generations, the complexity increases—making them hard to decipher. The addition of medical notes and the need to reposition individuals and relationships further complicate matters. Despite a decade of refining our algorithm, managing extensive family trees still slows down our system, affecting our team's efficiency.
Nevertheless, this challenge has yielded a substantial dataset and correctly drawn pedigrees, making it a perfect training ground for an AI. Such an AI could significantly speed up the process, outpacing the traditional methods we've used.
We recognize that this is a common challenge in our field, and we’re eager to lead the market with our solution. Offering quicker analyses could be our standout feature, enabling us to serve more patients efficiently.
Enhancing Diagnostic Support through AI
Our goal is to harness Machine Learning/AI to identify patterns in risk factors and biomarkers, providing individuals with a genetic predisposition to certain conditions a comprehensive risk assessment. Factors like lifestyle choices impact these assessments. By learning from real outcomes, our AI could refine its predictions, making early and accurate treatment possible.
Detection of Genetic Conditions
Working with several academic hospitals, we're investigating if our PASS system can pinpoint hereditary anomalies that may lead to diseases. We've incorporated genetic markers to aid physicians in this discovery process, though it's intricate and error-prone due to the nuanced nature of genetic variations.
Our dedication to merging healthcare with cutting-edge technology aims to simplify these complex challenges, improve diagnostic precision, and enhance patient care overall.
This version aims to clarify the original message, making it slightly more engaging while ensuring it remains professional and informative.
