Biomarker Prediction and Reporting Model

about

to enable accurate prediction of biomarker trends (e.g., in oncology, cardiology or metabolic disease)
to automate generation of clinician-ready reports summarising risk, recommended follow-up, and linking to care pathways
to ensure regulatory compliance, auditability, and seamless integration into existing lab information systems (LIS) and electronic health records (EHR)
to build a resilient, scalable, and maintainable operational model for continuous improvement

Working with a partner (data science & engineering consultancy), the Organization adopted a best-practice framework covering people, processes & technology. The model has now achieved X% improvement in predictive accuracy, Y% time‐savings in report generation, and has created a fully auditable pipeline suitable for regulatory submission.

The Chalange

The Organization faced the following key challenges:

Data volume and complexity: The lab was processing thousands of biomarker tests per day across multiple modalities (genomic, proteomic, metabolomic). The raw data streams were heterogeneous, high-dimensional, and growing rapidly.

Predictive gap: Despite the volume of biomarker data, the Organization lacked a robust model to identify risk of adverse patient outcomes (for example, progression, treatment non-response, or re‐hospitalisation). Clinicians were receiving static reports rather than proactive insights.

Reporting bottleneck: Generating clinician-ready summaries required significant manual effort by lab scientists and data analysts. Turn-around time for reports was long, and variation in quality and format was high.

Regulatory & audit demands: Given the sensitivity of biomarker tests and the regulated domain (e.g., diagnostics, medical device/software as a medical device), the organisation needed transparent model governance, traceability, and IT service continuity.

Scale & integration: The model needed to integrate with existing LIS/EHR, handle global operations (multiple labs, geographies), and maintain high availability—all with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
