Clalit Research Institute

Highlighting Clalit Health Services' revolution in personalized medicine at the 57th Annual European Human Genetics Conference (EHGC)! Our team inspired the international participants at EHGC, showcasing groundbreaking achievements in genetic data analysis and how we're enabling faster diagnoses and more personalized treatment plans. Rotem Greenberg, Head of Clinical Genetics at Clalit Innovation, presented two projects focused on BRCA screening. The first, funded by MBR, demonstrated how motivational messages can enhance patients' adherence to BRCA screening. The second, 'Good Genes' Association, involved women who tested positive for BRCA mutations, highlighting the importance of the timing and method of delivering test results, whether by phone or in person. In addition Dr. Ofer Isakov and Dr. Dina Yagel presented the platform developed at Clalit's Genomic Center under The Ivan and Francesca Berkowitz Family Living Laboratory and the cutting-edge approach for analyzing genetic panel tests, which they have presented last week. The feedback and interest from the audience were amazing. In our world, knowledge sharing is everything for a better future in healthcare, and we are honored to have the opportunity to present our groundbreaking findings and achievements! #genetics #geneticresearch #geneticinnocation #humangenetics #BRCA #BRCAscreening #knowledgesharing #healthinnovation #healthtech #medtech

Early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial for improving survival rates. Our team at Clalit Research Institute has developed a groundbreaking risk prediction model using electronic health records (EHR) to identify individuals at high risk for CRC! In the study, we focused on creating a risk prediction model based on EHR data from Clalit Health Services members aged 50-74 who were eligible for CRC screening from 2013 to 2019. The study utilized EHR data from 1.13 million subjects, including 2,935 with CRC diagnoses. Our key findings revealed that subjects in the top 1% risk scores had significantly higher CRC incidence (2.3% compared to a 0.3% baseline). Additionally, model-based risk stratification, when combined with a positive FOBT, identified subjects with over twice the CRC risk compared to using FOBT alone. Outstanding results! In conclusion, our individualized risk prediction model is a powerful decision support tool. It helps healthcare providers identify and refer high-risk individuals for confirmatory testing, ultimately improving CRC diagnosis and survival rates.

Unlocking Personalized Medicine! Clalit Health Services highlighted the revolutionary impact of genetics on patient care at the Israeli Association of Geneticists' Annual Conference. Our team unveiled a groundbreaking platform that streamlines genetic data analysis, paving the way for faster diagnoses and more personalized treatment plans. Dr. Ofer Isakov's platform, developed at Clalit's genomic center under The Ivan and Francesca Berkowitz Family Living Laboratory, empowers patients and providers by enabling them to easily search, compare, and create customized gene lists. This innovation has the potential to significantly reduce diagnosis times and lead to more targeted treatments. Dr. Dina Yagel also presented a cutting-edge approach for analyzing genetic panel tests, developed at Clalit's genomic center. This approach ensures clear and consistent reporting of genetic test results, empowering patients to better understand their health and take an active role in their healthcare decisions. It was a remarkable day of knowledge sharing and exploring innovations with the genetics community. Until next time! #personalizedmedicine #genetics #healthtech #medtech #clalithealth
