Cerner Clients Test SMART on FHIR Apps Within EHR
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, has unveiled a production version of HL7's FHIR® standard that is being tested in the Cerner Millennium® electronic health record (EHR).
"This next-generation standards framework enables health care organizations to utilize Cerner's open platform, which is designed to enable third-party innovators to advance care delivery and improve interoperability capabilities with other FHIR-compliant EHR systems," said Dr. David McCallie, senior vice president, medical informatics at Cerner. "This integrated approach will provide clinicians access to 'pluggable apps' directly within their workflows that are designed to expand and transform the way care is delivered."
Cerner clients will test SMART® on FHIR apps within Cerner Millennium. Mosaic Life Care has already begun to test a clinical decision support system that helps clinicians recognize and diagnose visually presenting conditions, VisualDX®, in its ambulatory clinics, emergency departments and throughout the hospital.
"The development of SMART on FHIR apps within Cerner Millennium is comparable to smartphones replacing pagers," said Brennan Lehman, CIO at Mosaic Life Care. "For years, we've struggled with complex interfaces, faxing and scanning to piece together the patient story. From the patient's perspective, care isn't limited to the four walls of the hospital. FHIR enabled apps seamlessly integrated with Cerner Millennium create the platform to solve the puzzle."
VisualDX will demonstrate its app in the Solutions Gallery at Cerner's Health Conference (CHC), Oct. 11-14, in Kansas City, Mo.
CHC attendees will also be able to explore a variety of SMART on FHIR apps on interactive touch-screens, including xG Health's EnrG | Rheum app and two open source apps created by Boston Children's Hospital.
Cerner continues to build FHIR services to support a wide variety of clinical resources and will continue to follow the standard, including the recently balloted Draft Standard for Trial Use 2.0. By the end of the year, an initial catalog of SMART on FHIR applications will be generally available for use to extend the Cerner Millennium platform.
Cerner's FHIR sandbox and documentation are available to clients and third-party application developers at fhir.cerner.com.

UBIC Obtains New Japanese Patent for Technology Related to Predictive Review
TOKYO, Oct. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UBIC, Inc. (Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158) ("UBIC" or "the Company"), a leading provider of international litigation support and big-data analysis services, announced today that the Japan Patent Office has recently issued a Notification of Decision of Grant to the Company for a patent application related to "Predictive Review."
In order to address users' expectations for improved accuracy and productivity in document review, the Company developed Predictive Review. Previously, all of the review results had to be fed manually into UBIC's AI system, but with Predictive Review, such manual task becomes lighter. This is because it will take part to function in a specific area: the judgments made by document reviewers are processed automatically. This instantly and continuously boosts efficiency and allows users to focus on their review and encourages the AI system to continuously learn and improve itself. Predictive Review is a manifestation of UBIC's innovative concept called "Behavior Informatics."
The necessary procedures for patent registration have already been executed, and the patent is currently pending issuance.
Patent application number: 2012-225103
Patent application filing date: Oct 10, 2012
Predictive Coding, a platform provided by UBIC, can categorize data based on learning from experts. In Predictive Coding, UBIC's AI helps users process enormous amounts of data by assigning high scores to highly relevant data and low scores to less relevant data. Based on these scores the most essential data sets can be prioritized so that these data are marked for further review by a knowledgeable person. Predictive Coding thus greatly alleviates the burden on human reviewers involved in traditional document review.
Utilizing Predictive Review can make the Predictive Coding process even more efficient. The latest review results no longer need to be added manually to the database. The system now processes these results as they are being created by reviewers, so that it constantly improves its classification accuracy.
The automated scoring function thus improves the operational flow because the AI is being trained and evaluated in real time. In other words, the score assigning function will be updated every time it reads new input data, making the highly important data quickly move to the top of the list so that it gets evaluated much earlier.
The analytical framework covered by this patent will be implemented in some of the newly released products of Lit i View®, a platform for big data analysis.
"We believe that this patent is a testament to the superior innovation that underlies the highly-accurate document analysis provided by UBIC," stated UBIC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Masahiro Morimoto. "In this advanced digital age, when the processing of vast volumes of data is necessary, our cutting-edge technology will open up new business frontiers, such as corporate fraud investigation and email auditing. UBIC aims to provide data analysis solutions in a broad range of new fields, including health care, intellectual property evaluation support and national security. By further honing our AI-based technologies and expanding our portfolio of intellectual properties, UBIC will continue to provide additional value-added eDiscovery services to customers worldwide."
About UBIC, Inc.
UBIC, Inc. (Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158) supports the analysis of big data based on behavior informatics by utilizing its technology, "VIRTUAL DATA SCIENTIST" or VDS. UBIC's VDS technology is driven by UBIC AI based on knowledge acquired through its litigation support services. The VDS incorporates experts' tacit knowledge, including their experiences and intuitions, and utilizes that knowledge for big data analysis. UBIC continues to expand its business operations by applying VDS to new fields such as healthcare and marketing.
UBIC was founded in 2003 as a provider of e-discovery and international litigation support services. These services include the preservation, investigation and analysis of evidence materials contained in electronic data, and computer forensic investigation.

Nasdaq's SMARTS Launches Trade Surveillance Monitoring for Dark Pools
NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq (Nasdaq:NDAQ), the world's leading provider of trade surveillance technology to marketplaces, regulators and market participants, has officially launched new trade surveillance monitoring capabilities for dark trading activity alongside its award-winning SMARTS Trade Surveillance platform.
"Trade surveillance can no longer be limited to lit trading," said Rob Lang, Vice President, Business and Product Development, Risk & Surveillance Solutions, Nasdaq. "Regulators globally are taking a more active role in monitoring and enforcing greater transparency in the trading of listed instruments away from lit venues generally, and of trading behaviors within dark pools specifically. We see the need to address these new demands and support dark venue operators and those executing in the dark to boost their surveillance capabilities and help them stay in compliance."
The new module, SMARTS Surveillance for Dark Pools, helps Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTF), Alternative Trading Systems (ATS), Crossing Networks, and market participants internalizing order flow or trading in external dark venues to monitor for potentially abusive behavior taking place in the dark. Jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Australia and Europe, amongst others, have already passed regulatory mandates in relation to dark trading. SMARTS Surveillance for Dark Pools will better position dark venue operators and participants to more effectively meet requirements and demonstrate a proactive approach to surveillance of dark trading.
- For dark venue operators, like MTFs and ATSs, these capabilities will enable them to monitor trading across all of their clients, like an exchange, to ensure market integrity. Using SMARTS, venue operators that also own broker-dealers would also be able to demonstrate that internal desks are not trading ahead of client orders on knowledge, further improving the integrity of the pool.
- For Crossing Networks or Systemic Internalization, the solution helps demonstrate system integrity in that the liquidity pool operates as advertised, in addition to helping identify potentially malicious behavior that is hidden in the network or any mispricing or fair pricing issues for trades that executed internally.
- For executing brokers, SMARTS Surveillance for Dark Pools enables firms the same cross-market, cross-asset monitoring and alerting capabilities as have proven successful in lit markets, with the ability to view dark executions within the full context of all of the markets traded.
SMARTS Surveillance for Dark Pools covers the full range of market manipulation and abuse behaviors from price manipulation to insider trading, front running, and cross-market (lit vs dark) manipulation, amongst others.
"In order to ensure integrity and compliance, dark venue operators and participants internalizing or crossing order flow, or externally participating in dark venues, need to have processes and systems in place to monitor activity for manipulative trading," said Michael O'Brien, Head of Product Development, SMARTS Trade Surveillance. "Not only does this support regulatory compliance needs, it is simply good business practice, particularly in a quickly evolving marketplace like dark pools."
SMARTS Surveillance solutions power monitoring capabilities for more than 100 market participants across 65 markets, and over 50 marketplaces and regulators.

Varonis Extends FireEye Threat Analytics Platform to Protect File Data Before Cyber Attacks Materialize
NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today announced the interoperability of its DatAdvantage and DatAlert solutions with the FireEye® Threat Analytics Platform™ (TAP™).
The interoperable solutions from this new technology alliance will be showcased at the FireEye Cyber Defense Summit, taking place October 12-14 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC, and via a live webinar at 2:00 PM ET on October 28. (For more details see below, or click here.)
Protecting the Most Valuable Data
With the interoperability of Varonis and FireEye TAP, customers can now gain unprecedented intelligence in the realm of unstructured data. Organizations store massive quantities of this data – such as files, emails, spreadsheets, and presentations – and it comprises some of their most valuable and sensitive information assets. These assets are frequently exposed or stolen in high-profile breaches, either by insiders who abuse their access or by outsiders who compromise insiders' credentials. Varonis has helped thousands of customers protect their unstructured data, through analyzing user activity with files and emails, permissions and file system metadata, as well as file content.
Gareth Maclachlan, FireEye Vice President Product Management said, "FireEye's Threat Analytics Platform accelerates detection and investigation of cyber-attacks by correlating events from a wide range of devices and locations and applying threat intelligence to pinpoint critical threats— including the hunt for threat indicators within unstructured data sources. By integrating with FireEye to identify anomalous data activity, Varonis is providing its customers with valuable insight into the security of their high value information."
Users will now be able to easily send alerts from Varonis DatAdvantage and DatAlert into FireEye TAP, and begin identifying statistically unusual user behavior surrounding this data. Anomalous activity could include mass deletions and modifications, malware and ransomware infections like CryptoLocker and Cryptowall, privilege escalations, unusual access to PII, multiple failed login attempts, and many more potential warning signs. Installation of Varonis DatAdvantage and DatAlert can take as little as one hour, and connection to FireEye TAP is as simple as configuring an IP address.
David Gibson, Varonis Vice President of Strategy and Market Development, said, "Hackers are getting better at their jobs, and therefore today's threat intelligence equation needs to combine several technologies. With the new interoperability, customers can combine critical security insight from FireEye with Varonis intelligence about their unstructured data – the type of data they typically have the most of and know the least about. Varonis and FireEye TAP can help organizations proactively spot the warning signs before they end up in the news because of a data breach."
