To tackle the Coronavirus pandemic, Innoplexus opens its Ontosight® AI Search Platform to researchers across the world

Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Innoplexus AG has made its proprietary Ontosight AI search platform available to medical researchers around the globe to help fight the deadly virus with immediate effect. Researchers from India, Germany and the US are already using the platform.

‘Flattening the curve’ necessitates health organizations to take on early measures focused on containment. Several countries including Japan, Taiwan and Singapore have already succeeded in the containment of the Coronavirus. The researches from these countries used Big Data analytics, new technologies, and proactive testing for making it successful.

Unfortunately, several countries lack this specific expertise and are spending extensive resources on managing mitigation, to make the virus as inoffensive as possible. The better a country’s healthcare system can function, the lower the mortality rate, and the higher the share of the population that can be treated.

On Monday, with the commitment of enabling rapid research for the development of tests and treatments for COVID-19, Innoplexus announced that it will share an open license for general access to its Ontosight® AI Search platform to help researchers learn more about the novel coronavirus.

Government science advisers in a dozen countries are asking to make data on the disease more widely available. Innoplexus is thereby answering the call of the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK to make publications available to the research community.

In an Innoplexus blog post “Coronavirus: Why governments need a decisive action plan” on their website, they look at global learnings and hope to aid and contribute to COVID-19 research by sharing their platform tools to assist research team’s efforts.

“We hope that we can contribute to the scientific community’s research efforts of how the disease functions and spreads, to be able to assist in hypothesis generation as a predictive platform for ongoing and future work to develop therapeutics,” said Gunjan Bhardwaj, CEO of Innoplexus AG.

“We realize that the work of many other labs and organizations will be needed around the globe to respond to COVID-19 with speed and agility. Innoplexus hopes to add impact to these efforts.”
