As many of us continuously experience, combing through the latest news in any scientific research area or a given commercial sector – whether it is to stay up-to-date in a specific field, view the latest trends in emerging technologies, or keeping an eye on the competition – can be quite a time sink. Identifying the latest updates, top research articles, or product launches via google, different news outlets, and/ or social media channels can require hours and hours: Time that could be spent more productively to advance product and strategy development and drive towards solutions in pursuit of one’s goals.
To help alleviate this major challenge, we at enlightenbio interviewed different individuals in the commercial, pharmaceutical, and academic sectors to understand their particular challenges related to quickly finding the news and articles of interest. The message received was very clear: “one is visiting different news and social media outlets across the World Wide Web to ensure completeness of daily news”. This translates into time-intensive searches through different sites and company websites.
As we all know, the issues is further exemplified by the fact that commercial companies may or may not have a press release, publish scientific results, or may prefer to come out of stealth mode and not be known until the day of product or company launch. Hence, quickly identifying the “right” news and launch article is not a small feat.
We at enlightenbio have tried to take a very different approach to address these challenges and are excited to release a proposed solution which we have named the enlightenbio News Dashboard. The News Dashboard supports the quick identification of the latest news, including filtering and searching of articles of interest in the area of precision medicine, including genomics, genetics, diagnostics, emerging technologies, AI/ML, clinical trials, next-generation sequencing, and beyond. Most importantly, the dashboard, with its focused content, reduces the time to find the latest news and articles, and as such is an effective gateway in the area of genomics, genetics, and precision medicine, and related life science fields.
