Cambridge Semantics named as a Leader for Data Fabric Solutions by GigaOm

Leave a comment


“The Strength of Anzo’s knowledge graph approach is its adherence to W3C standards being ideal for forming a semantic layer and harmonizing data of any variation across it. Those knowledge graphs also deliver credible data products, which can be linked together to form a data fabric across the enterprise and source systems.” said Andrew Brust author of the GigaOm Sonar Data Fabric report.

Another benefit of stitching your data fabric with knowledge graph technology is the semantics stringing your data together into logical pathways for generative AI technologies. So not only can you leverage Anzo for the comprehensive data integrations, accessibilities and other benefits of a Data Fabric, you can also leverage the same foundational technology in your generative AI endeavors. With Anzo you’ll be able to build easy-to-consume data products for end-users, data scientists, and applications.

Cambridge Semantics Inc. is a modern data management and enterprise analytics software company. Our product Anzo is the most complete, scalable, and powerful knowledge graph platform available today. Anzo quickly transforms siloed data into highly connected knowledge graphs, revealing previously hidden insights, supporting ad hoc queries, fueling pervasive analytics, and making previously unanswerable questions answerable. Our solutions enable organizations in Financial Services, Government, Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Manufacturing to accelerate integrated data delivery and provide meaningful insights enterprise-wide at hyper-speed and scale.

Find Cambridge Semantics leading the way in the 2023 GigaOm Sonar Data Fabric report.

OpenClinica Bolsters Decentralized Clinical Trials Toolkit

Leave a comment


“At OpenClinica, we have long been committed to helping sites and sponsors improve patient participation, engagement and diversity in clinical trials,” said Ben Baumann, OpenClinica Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer. “Clinical trials can easily integrate OpenClinica Consent with our family of patient engagement and DCT solutions to provide an end-to-end patient journey or use it as a standalone tool.”

In May 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released new draft guidance to advance decentralized clinical trials. The draft guidance expands on the 2020 agency recommendations and is intended to “increase the breadth and diversity of participants in clinical trials and improve accessibility for those with rare diseases or mobility challenges.”

Bauman recently wrote a blog about five of the reasons electronic informed consent for clinical trials (eICF) matters to patients and clinical trial researchers. To read Baumann’s blog, click here

Wartburg Adds Sage Stream Interactive Live Stream Music Entertainment to Enhance Resident Experience

Leave a comment


Founder Anthony Cirillo, a long-time professional musician and health care professional, says: “Social isolation is of epidemic proportions in the U.S. as recently called attention to by Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy who released an advisory calling attention to the public health crisis of loneliness. Studies have shown that in some respects isolation has worsened post-pandemic.”

By utilizing chat-based technology, Sage Stream can take requests from viewers, provide shout-out to communities, call out special events and overall engage in a fun, interactive experience with clients.

Says Wartburg’s President and CEO, David J. Gentner: “We piloted Sage Stream earlier in the year and our staff reported back that it was an affordable and valuable resource that residents looked forward to each week. In a tech and gadget-filled world, staff like the simplicity and ease of use of Sage Stream, which saves them hours of activity planning time. I personally like the idea of song requests as it harkens back to a time when you could actually call a radio station and make requests!”

Sage Stream is endorsed by the National Association of Activity Professionals in the U.S. and Music for Dementia in the U.K. With additional mentors from the Lieber Institute for Brain Development and the Institute for Music and Neurological Function, Sage Stream produces programs to maximize brain health.
