How Erasmus MC implements pharmacogenetic reporting with iGene Pharmaco
Translating pharmacogenetic knowledge into clinical care
Academic Hospital Erasmus MC provides pharmacogenetic profiles to numerous GPs, specialists and medical institutions. To communicate the results to patients, Erasmus MC uses the iGene Pharmaco platform which powers a custom-branded Erasmus app for Android and Apple.
The challenge of scaling personalised medicine
Managing pharmacogenetic data across a large academic network proved complex. Each dataset required accurate interpretation, uniform reporting and secure exchange with external partners. Manual workflows created pressure on staff and made it difficult to stay fully compliant with European medical data standards.
Integrating genetic data into a secure, automated system
To remove barriers, Erasmus MC implemented the iGene Pharmaco platform that supports a custom Erasmus-branded application. All processing takes place in a GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified environment, ensuring maximum quality and data security.
Streamlined workflow and standardised patient reporting
The Erasmus MC conducts the DNA analysis itself, after which the iGene pharmaco platform converts the results directly into real-time reports. The same applies to add-ons or updates of the analyses, ensuring that patients always have access to the most up-to-date information. The whole process runs smoothly due to API connections with the Erasmus MC’s systems. This allows employees to create profiles easily, scan barcodes and deliver results, which greatly speeds up the workflow.
Enabling truly personalised prescribing
The partnership between Erasmus MC and iGene Pharmaco shows how pharmacogenetic data can become be integrated into patient care. By automating and standardising the process, Erasmus MC lays a stronger foundation for personalised pharmacotherapy across its network.
