Salt Lake City, UTAH, U.S. and Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) and Navican, an Intermountain Healthcare company, today signed an agreement to deploy a precision health informatics solution that will allow hospitals and health systems worldwide to access the sophisticated services of Intermountain’s successful precision medicine program in a “turn-key” manner. The new services, that will be made available through Navican, are aimed at improving outcomes for late stage cancer patients and will offer specialized programs with expert guidance for both oncologists and patients.
The new solution will leverage Navican’s TheraMap Precision Cancer CareTM services and Philips IntelliSpace Genomics platform that integrates large-scale genomic analysis with extensive contextual clinical patient data and that is built to implement precision medicine programs at the point of care. The Philips platform seamlessly integrates Illumina’s next-generation sequencing technologies.
“Despite major technological advances in tumor sequencing capabilities and laboratories, gaps remain between these advanced diagnostics and actually getting patients onto the appropriate therapeutic paths,” says Lincoln Nadauld, MD, PhD, executive director of Intermountain Precision Genomics. “Through this joint approach we are bringing together the latest technologies with the aim to provide community hospitals and treatment centers worldwide with the opportunity to implement Intermountain’s best practice in precision medicine into their everyday care practices.”

Nationally leading precision cancer genomics program
Intermountain Healthcare - a Utah-based, Integrated Delivery Network comprised of 22 hospitals and 180 clinics – provides a nationally leading precision cancer genomics program through its Intermountain Precision Genomics laboratory. The genetic makeup of each patient’s cancer is analyzed. Then a team of skilled molecular tumor specialists and specialized treatment navigators is employed to review each test and determine how to most effectively treat that cancer case. This team approach gives oncologists the information and support they need to prepare a customized, targeted treatment plan for each patient. Nearly 80% of the patients treated at Intermountain Precision Genomics have been connected to targeted drug therapies, which can help lengthen survival in advanced cancer patients without increasing costs.
