Fort Myers-based Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute LLC announced the formation of a new health care analytics subsidiary. Vita Nova Insights was created to serve as a precision oncology insights and real-world evidence platform.

By partnering with FCS to advance oncology research through the development of unique proprietary datasets combining advanced data curation, data science, artificial intelligence and data analysis capabilities, the platform is positioned to bring differentiated insights to the marketplace.

The new company supports physicians and clinical researchers’ access to the diversified data assets at FCS, including EMR, practice management, genomics, oral oncolytic pharmacy, laboratory, radiology and radiation oncology systems. Information gleaned from experience caring for more than a million patients is standardized against industry reference data and further enriched using external data sources to create a more comprehensive picture of the health of every patient.

Vita Nova Insights utilizes data science, artificial intelligence and its clinical oncology expertise to generate insights that help optimize patient care, enable clinical research and convert FCS’ real-world data into the real-world evidence needed for the discovery and development of new therapies.
