semgine GmbH - Launch of the first semantic information assistant for drug discovery
 |
"Scientists in pharmaceuticals research are faced with the problem of how to filter the pertinent information from the constantly growing flow of information in order to make or support a decision," explains Dr Martin C. Hirsch, CEO of semgine GmbH. "semgine sciPlorer® was designed precisely for this purpose and helps the required information to be precisely, intuitively and rapidly localised in scientific abstracts."
semgine sciPlorer® is based on a completely novel approach which applies the principles of cognitive neurosciences to information processing. While conventional search engines compile a standard word-based full text index of the documents, semgine® compiles a semantic index which makes it possible to retrieve individual facts in documents very precisely.
Version 1.2 of semgine sciPlorer® offers data recall from scientific abstracts and, if required, also in company-specific data sources. Over the course of the year, it will be expanded by additional content modules. semgine sciPlorer® was specifically designed for pharmaceuticals research, but is also perfectly suited for use by biomedical scientists and doctors focusing on scientific research.
"The numerous customers from the field of pharmaceuticals research, to whom we provided a preliminary version of semgine sciPlorer®, were very impressed by the way in which the information is processed and the results presented," says Dr Thomas Meyer, Sales Manager Life Sciences at semgine GmbH. "So we will be able to count on a very positive response when the finished product is now launched on the market."
