DoseMe – A Cross Platform Dose Individualised Program

DoseMe Pty Ltd

Introduction
DoseMe is an easy-to-use Bayesian dose-individualisation platform designed for clinicians and healthcare practitioners to optimise patient care. DoseMe currently supports several classes of drugs, including antibiotics, anti-coagulants, and chemotherapeutic agents.

Designed for the Clinic
DoseMe has been designed from the ground-up to seamlessly fit into a clinical workflow.  DoseMe supports use by the bedside (iPads), the desktop (web interface), as well as integrating into existing patient management software.

Clinically Tested
DoseMe is currently being used in clinical trials to dose gentamicin at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, and warfarin at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology.
These trials report extremely positive findings, both for clinical outcomes, and DoseMe's ease-of-use. We expect to have the results published by Q3, 2013.

Fully Supported
DoseMe is a fully-supported product 24×7, with continual monitoring to maintain availability. You can rely on DoseMe being there when you need it. Every time a new DoseMe installation occurs, or an update is prepared for release, a large set of tests are automatically performed to determine that DoseMe remains numerically precise. Before releasing updates, DoseMe Pty Ltd performs user acceptance testing – making sure that DoseMe is not only numerically accurate, but also suitable for clinical practice.

Drug Support
DoseMe currently supports the following drugs:

  • Gentamicin (adult, paediatric coming soon)
  • Tobramycin (adult and paediatric)
  • Vancomycin (adult)
  • Warfarin (adult)
  • Busulfan (adult and paediatric)

New drugs are being added continually, and DoseMe can support specific drugs on request. DoseMe does not limit the number of compartments or the types and kinds of covariates supported in drug models.

Cloud-Based and Scalable
DoseMe is a cloud-based solution that can be deployed and made available for use immediately, without requiring lengthy and difficult IT compatibility projects. However, we do support integration with in-house systems if required. Being cloud-based, DoseMe scales seamlessly, supporting 1 to more than 100,000 patients.

Safe & Secure
DoseMe Pty Ltd is 100% committed to safe and secure data storage and transmission. DoseMe encrypts all communication between clinicians and the cloud using industry-standard levels of encryption; the same as your bank.

  • All communications are encrypted and secured with SSL.
  • All data cached on iPads are encrypted.
  • All data stored on our servers (including the entire hard disks) are encrypted.
  • All servers are housed in datacentres approved for medical record keeping (video-cameras, man-traps, and very high physical security).
  • All servers used by a given clinical practice are hosted in the same country, simplifying legal requirements.
