Autonomy Auminence Wins Prestigious 'Best New Technology' Healthcare Innovation Award :: IT Buzzed

Autonomy Corporation plc , a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Autonomy Auminence received the prestigious 2010 Healthcare IT Summit Innovation Awards for "Best New Technology." This award was chosen by attendees at the 2010 Healthcare IT Summit, who included leading healthcare delivery organizations and insurance providers such as Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Pennsylvania Health System, Johns Hopkins Healthcare, UnitedHealth Group, and CIGNA. The coveted accolade mirrors the outstanding response Autonomy Auminence has garnered from customers, analysts, and the press, increasing market momentum for Autonomy's healthcare business.

Based on Autonomy's unique Bayesian inference technology, Autonomy Auminence represents a breakthrough for healthcare providers seeking to transform healthcare delivery through a deeper and more meaningful understanding of their data. Auminence, a powerful point-of-care analysis dashboard, is designed to help healthcare providers make better quality, data-driven, evidence-based diagnosis decisions. It provides a checklist of diagnoses for the clinician to consider -- indicating diagnoses that have the strongest statistical significance -- and also presents to the provider the all-important "unknown-unknowns" that are ever-present at the point-of-care. These diagnoses may not be obvious, but by connecting together important pieces of Electronic Medical Record data, lead conclusively to a strong candidate for the correct diagnosis.
