Umfassende Untersuchung des Einsatzes digitaler Diagnostikmethoden in der Versorgung septischer Patientinnen und Patienten geplant

Welt-Sepsis-Tag rückt das Forschungsprojekt DigiSep in den Fokus: Was bringt digitale Diagnostik bei Sepsis?

9. September 2021

Ein Patient liegt mit Sepsis, umgangssprachlich auch Blutvergiftung genannt, auf der Intensivstation. Welcher Erreger die Sepsis ausgelöst hat, ist unklar. Um eine Diagnose zu stellen, können die Ärzte Blut abnehmen und im Labor eine Blutkultur anlegen lassen – bisher der Goldstandard bei der Erregerbestimmung. Oder sie können auf neue, digitale Methoden setzen, die Genomik und Bioinformatik zusammenbringen. Wird die Diagnostik damit präziser und zuverlässiger? Verbessert dies die Therapie für den Patienten? Werden Folgeerkrankungen verringert und steigt die Lebensqualität? Lässt sich am Ende sogar die Sterblichkeit durch Sepsis senken, die jährlich mehr als 75.000 Todesfälle in Deutschland verursacht? Diese Fragen untersucht das neue Forschungsprojekt DigiSep, das Anfang September 2021 gestartet ist und zum Welt-Sepsis-Tag am 13. September 2021 in den Fokus rückt. Das Projekt wird vom Innovationsausschuss des Gemeinsamen Bundesausschusses für drei Jahre mit insgesamt ca. 3,1 Millionen Euro gefördert.

Presseinformation IKK Südwest: Krankheitserreger schneller erkennen - neues Diagnostikverfahren von Noscendo unterstützt durch die IKK Südwest

Presseinformation Veröffentlicht: 01.03.2021

Bei der Behandlung von Infektionen ist die Kenntnis des ursächlichen Krankheitserregers von entscheidender Relevanz. Vor allem in Kliniken stellen gefährliche Folgen von Keiminfektionen, wie die Sepsis bzw. Blutvergiftung eine große Herausforderung dar. Je früher man den verantwortlichen Erreger identifiziert und bekämpft, desto geringer ist das Risiko schwerwiegender Folgen. Bislang beruht die Diagnostik auf einer sehr zeitaufwändigen Blutprobenanalyse. Auf diesem Weg kann bislang eine vergleichsweise geringe Anzahl von Erregern überprüft werden. Die IKK Südwest unterstützt daher ab Januar 2021 die schnellere und präzisere Feststellung des ursächlichen Keims mithilfe der Software DISQVER® von Noscendo.

 

Vorstand der IKK Südwest Daniel Schilling betont: „Das softwarebasierte Verfahren von Noscendo führt zu einer noch besseren Patientenversorgung und ist ein großer Fortschritt für die zielgerichtete Behandlung von oftmals lebensgefährlichen Infektionserkrankungen. Es freut uns daher sehr, dass unsere Versicherten nun von der neuen Verfahrenstechnik und dem Einsatz digitaler Lösungen profitieren können.“

 

„DISQVER® bietet als neue Methode in der Mikrobiologie die Möglichkeit, parallel zur Standarddiagnostik wie z.B. der Blutkultur auch in problematischen Fällen in der klinischen Praxis Erreger nachweisen zu können. Die Patienten können dadurch gerade auch bei seltenen oder bislang schwer nachweisbaren Keimen mit einer für sie idealen Therapie versorgt werden“, fasst Dr. med. Ekkehard Siegel, Leitender Oberarzt am Institut für Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Hygiene der Universitätsmedizin Mainz und Experte für infektiologische Fragestellungen seine Eindrücke mit dem innovativen Verfahren zusammen.

 

„Mit DISQVER® konnten wir bereits dabei helfen, schwerkranke Patienten besser zu versorgen und dabei die Patientenbelastung und Kosten in der Behandlung und Nachsorge zu senken. Wir freuen uns sehr dass dies nun allen Versicherten der IKK Südwest als erster Innungskrankenkasse in Deutschland  zugutekommen kann“, erläutert Dr. Peter Haug, der als Mitgründer in der Noscendo GmbH für die Geschäftsentwicklung verantwortlich ist.

Noscendo closes Financing Round for CE Certification and Market Entry Preparation of Platform Diagnostics for Bloodstream Associated Infections

 

The diagnostic procedures developed by Noscendo help intensive care clinicians to identify the relevant pathogens in bloodstream associated infections. Munich-based family office Wieland Capital, HTGF and three business angels with in-depth knowledge of the diagnostics industry are jointly investing a seven-digit sum of Euros into Noscendo GmbH. These funds will enable Noscendo to receive approval for its medical device and prepare for the market entry of Noscendo’s proprietary diagnostic platform.

 

 

 

 

... Financial resources from the investment round will be utilized for CE certification of Noscendo’s diagnostic platform as a medical device (“Software as a Medical Device”) and preparation for market entry. “Together with innovative intensive care clinicians and sophisticated partners, we will introduce our diagnostic services as a mail-in business as well as on-site in selected hospital laboratories,” Dr. Peter Haug, CEO and Head of Business Development, explains the next steps towards market entry.

 

“The excellent feedback from clinical directors and the huge experience of the team and the business angels provide ideal conditions for Noscendo to set a new standard in the pathogen detection of life-threatening blood stream infections”, Dr. Fabian Mohr summarizes HTGF’s viewpoint.

Oncgnostics GmbH retains Biotech Alliances International Inc. to support global partnering and distribution strategy.

Cervical cancer is still a significant problem for patients and health care systems.

Poor diagnostics leads to unnecessarily long and intensive patient management resulting in medical complications, psychological burden and high costs“, said Dr. Alfred Hansel, CEO Oncgnostics.”
— Dr. Alfred Hansel, CEO Oncgnostics

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, USA, October 2, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Biotech Alliances International Inc., a Silicon Valley-based healthcare-focused investment bank, announced today that it will serve as the lead investment banker to Oncgnostics globalisation and partnering strategy.

Early detection of cervical cancer is critical for patients health and survival. Current diagnostic methods are inefficient and fail to detect 50% of the cases of cervical cancer. Failure in precision detection of cervical carcinoma leads to unsuccessful as well as unnecessary treatments. Therefore cervical cancer still is a significant problem for patients and health care systems.

Oncgnostics GmbH, a Jena/Germany based company, has developed GynTect® for precision detection of cervical cancer. GynTect® was tested and validated in clinical trials on more than 3000 samples with a remarkable detection score of 100% in all cervical cancer cases. Moreover, GynTect® identifies all relevant pre-cancerous lesions due to its first-of-a-kind prognostic value.

“Our product GynTect® can eliminate unsuccessful as well as unnecessary treatments in the current screening systems. Poor diagnostics leads to unnecessarily long and intensive patient management resulting in medical complications, psychological burden and high costs“, said Dr. Alfred Hansel, Oncgnostics Chief Executive Officer. By overcoming these severe limitations, GynTect® generates significant economic benefits for national health systems, savings e.g. for the German health care system are estimated at $300m p.a.

“We are very impressed with Oncgnostics precision diagnostics which can provide superior outcomes for patients by avoiding unnecessary surgery and increase patients survival rates” said Dr. Franck Brinkhaus, CEO of Biotech Alliances International: „We are very proud to welcome Oncgnostics to our growing group of European clients and are looking forward to working with the entire Oncgnostics team on this assignment.“

Oncgnostics Garners €1M to Support Clinical
Trials of Epigenetic Cervical Cancer Test

 

 NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – German start-up Oncgnostics recently raised €1 million ($1.1 million) to support clinical trials of an epigenetic assay called GynTect test for assessing cervical cancer risk.

 

 

The Jena-based firm raised €500,000 of the money via a crowdfunding mechanism called Seedmatch, with VC group and current investor, Beteiligungsmanagement Thüringen (BM-T) providing matching funds. Seedmatch is similar to Kickstarter, but only hosts a handful of projects at a time, primarily focused on technology and medicine. Oncgnostics acheived its €500,000 crowdfunding target about a week ahead of schedule and within
the allotted 60 days.
