Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Saurabh Gombar, MD Co-founder/Chief Medical Officer at Atropos Health:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Atropos Health?
A: Atropos Health is a newly launched company with the mission to inform every treatment decision with personalized real-world evidence. According to published research over 80% of patient care decisions lack reliable clinical evidence, and most research studies cherry-pick their populations by deliberately excluding comorbid and complex patients. Given that much of the modern patient population is comorbid and complex, Atropos Health produces real-world evidence for those underrepresented patients.
Q: You’ve recently announced a company launch and close of seed funding round; can you tell us something more?
A: In addition to completing our seed funding Atropos Health is a participant in the highly selective StartX 2020 incubator. StartX gave us a wide audience of advisors and industry leaders which we were able to leverage to improve our digital solutions. We are preparing for Cusomter announcements coming shortly in the next few months.

Q: Can you give us more insights into your digital solution?
A: Atropos Health provides a first-of-its-kind digital consult for a Prognostogram — which is a report that synthesizes medical record data from millions of patient encounters into actionable real-world evidence; individualized for a patient. The Prognostogram answers, “What happened to patient’s like mine?” and is enabled by the company’s patented Atropos Evidence Platform technology to search EMR data.
Q: What can we expect from Atropos Health in 2021?
A: We are looking forward to announcing deployment of the digital consult for a Prognostogram to several partner health systems in early 2021. In addition, we will be deploying a web portal that will allow physicians to order a Prognostogram from anywhere in the world, enabling a truly global impact on patient care.
Recommended: Q: What’s the best thing about Atropos Health that people should know about?
A: The need to use real-world evidence to inform patient care has been well understood by physicians since the 1970s. Over the past 4 decades, pioneers in the field have attempted to make on-demand real-world evidence a reality but were met with numerous technical and non-technical hurdles. Atropos Health has a proven solution built on customized software and run by a team of trained physicians and support staff that can deliver on the vision of learning from similar patients. We aim to revolutionize decision making in health care to improve patient outcomes based on knowing what happened to similar patients.
