Atlas
Consolidate, harmonize, and organize multi-modal biomedical data into AI-ready structured repositories for accelerated research and analysis.
Overview
Atlas, part of the Polly platform by Elucidata, is a structured repository designed to consolidate, harmonize, and organize multi-modal biomedical data into an AI-ready format. It is built for biopharma R&D teams, clinical researchers, and precision diagnostics teams who need to break down fragmented data silos and accelerate time-to-insights across molecular and clinical datasets.
Biomedical R&D generates enormous volumes of data annually, yet much of it remains siloed, unstructured, and difficult to reuse. Managing longitudinal patient data, tracking clinical trials, and building patient-centric data systems requires multi-modal data harmonization that is both complex and resource-intensive. Atlas addresses these challenges by combining the flexibility of spreadsheets with the scale, data integrity, and queryability of relational databases — enabling teams to store, link, and retrieve datasets with less than 50 millisecond latency.
Core Capabilities
- Collections of tables with user-defined schemas: Atlas is structured as collections of tables that users can define according to their specific research needs, offering flexibility without sacrificing data integrity.
- Multi-modal data integration: Supports the combination of molecular and clinical data, enabling seamless linking of structured and unstructured datasets in a single repository.
- High-speed data retrieval: Datasets can be stored, linked, and retrieved with less than 50 millisecond latency, supporting real-time research workflows.
- Flattened data model: Atlases' flattened data model enables seamless exploration of complex clinical data, making it ideal for cohort creation and comparative analyses.
- HIPAA-compliant data navigation: Linked structured and unstructured data ensure intuitive navigation while adhering to HIPAA guidelines for real-world data use.
Key Workflow Features
- Access longitudinal patient data in one step: Organized tabular layers integrate metadata, treatments, outcomes, and healthcare delivery details such as claims and discharge summaries, making longitudinal patient data readily accessible.
- Streamlined cohort building: The flattened data model simplifies exploration of complex clinical datasets, enabling faster and more accurate cohort creation and comparative analyses.
- Patient-centric data exploration: Linked structured and unstructured data support intuitive navigation across patient records, ensuring compliance with real-world data regulations.
- Diagnostic use case support: Harmonized multi-site patient records are structured to support machine learning model training for predictive diagnostic and prognostic applications.
Harmonization Engine and Scale
