Pangaea celebrates 20 years in Business

20 years ago, I founded Pangaea with the goal of improving the decision making process by developing user friendly tools that leverage existing data and provide sophisticated analytical tools directly to the decision makers.  At that time, decision makers and managers were several steps removed from the data holdings, analysis tools and analysts used to obtain the desired information to support actionable decisions.

Are We Prepared for Ebola in Chicago?

Since 2005, Pangaea Information Technologies has been working as a partner with Rush University Medical Center under the leadership of Dr. Dino Rumoro DO, MPH, FACEP, Chairman Department of Emergency Medicine to advance the science of disease surveillance.  Through this collaboration, we have developed the GUARDIAN Disease Surveillance System – an automated medical chart analysis and decision support system that utilizes state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and natural language processing algorithms to search for dozens of known infectious diseases, in real-time, across all patients currently within a hospital’s emergency department.  One of the very first diseases that was encoded into the GUARDIAN system was Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) – the class of viruses which includes Ebola.
