Trapelo Health offers an interoperable, decision-support platform for physicians, laboratories, and payers to inform testing and treatment selection, improve clinical trial matching, streamline workflow, and facilitate real-time alignment with current clinical evidence.
According to the company, its platform is powered by a precision oncology knowledge system and consistently captures and codifies clinical research results immediately as it becomes available.
“The addition of Trapelo to NeoGenomics significantly enhances our ability to provide customers with information to help them answer difficult and complex questions related to precision oncology biomarker testing and treatment options. It also reaffirms our commitment to build a leading Informatics business as part of our comprehensive Oncology offering,” said Douglas M. VanOort, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NeoGenomics.
“Trapelo’s impressive proprietary evidence-based knowledge system, combined with NeoGenomics’ comprehensive multi-modality test menu, will enable providers to implement precision oncology and give patients the confidence that they are receiving the most effective level of care based on their personal circumstances. We plan to make the Trapelo solution broadly available to providers, payers, and laboratories to enable precision oncology to be available across all healthcare settings.”
