CENTOGENE & ACTICO Success Story
PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

Rare disease diagnoses in minutes, not weeks

For patients who are suffering from an undiagnosed rare genetic disease, receiving a diagnosis as early as possible is vital. As a world leader in genetic diagnostics for rare diseases, Rostock-founded CENTOGENE GmbH is committed to accelerating the diagnosis of these conditions. The company’s partnership with Business Rules specialists S&D, and the implementation of the ACTICO decision management platform, has enabled them to succeed in this aim. How? By automating and optimizing the labor intensive diagnostic data curation process.

CHALLENGE

Reduce Patient Suffering

  • Diagnosing rare diseases can be a slow and painstaking process, resulting in unnecessary patient suffering.
  • Therefore, CENTOGENE wanted to accelerate the curation of key diagnostic data by integrating artificial intelligence into the relevant workflow.
RESULT

Accelerated Diagnosis

  • Data curation process fully automated.
  • Data results delivery reduced from one month, to just five minutes.
  • More time for scientists to spend investigating the most difficult cases.
SOLUTION

Automation of the Data Curation Process

  • ACTICO Business Rules Engine, implemented in partnership with Business Rules specialists S&D
  • Integration of decision-making automation into the curation workflow, with increasing levels of automation until all manual processing tasks were eliminated.
OUTLOOK

Business & Patient Value

This case study provides dramatic proof of how the ACTICO platform can deliver significant business value by using a rules-based decision-making engine to automate data curation. In this instance, the business value is enhanced by the benefit to patients of faster, more accurate and continuously updated rare disease diagnosis. Looking to the future, CENTOGENE is keen to replicate their success by applying the same approach to automate other essential processes. Moreover, CENTOGENE is actively exploring how to extend their use of the ACTICO platform to include, for example, the Machine Learning module.
