Kesis applications

Applications are built from what Nyx knows.

Nyx is being developed as a shared clinical knowledge foundation. Kesis applications express that knowledge for different users, clinical contexts, and decisions.

Shared foundation

One developing knowledge system. Different application expressions.

The applications are connected to a shared knowledge foundation rather than operating as separate evidence systems.

Primary application example

Kesis Clinical — Kidney Cancer

Status: In clinical testing

Kesis Clinical — Kidney Cancer is a clinician-facing application currently being used to test how governed clinical knowledge developed through Nyx can support complex oncology decisions.

Intended user
Clinicians
Clinical domain
Kidney cancer
Relationship to Nyx
Expresses governed knowledge for a clinician-facing decision context
Current status
In clinical testing
High-level workflow From context to clinician review
  1. 01
    Define the clinical context

    The clinician identifies the decision and relevant patient characteristics.

  2. 02
    Retrieve governed knowledge

    The application uses the relevant evidence-linked knowledge developed through Nyx.

  3. 03
    Review options and evidence

    The application supports the clinician’s review of evidence, assumptions, benefits, and tradeoffs.

Testing boundary

“In clinical testing” describes the current testing status only. It does not mean a registered clinical trial, regulatory validation, prospective clinical validation, routine patient-care deployment, commercial availability, or demonstrated clinical benefit.

Clinician-facing

Status: In clinical testing

Kesis Clinical — GIST

A clinician-facing application in clinical testing for gastrointestinal stromal tumour decision support. It is being used to test how governed clinical knowledge from Nyx can be expressed in a different oncology domain.

Intended user
Clinicians
Clinical domain
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours

Patient-facing

Status: In testing

Kesis Companion — Breast Cancer

A patient-facing application in testing, designed to express governed clinical knowledge in a form appropriate for patients. It does not replace clinician communication or provide individual medical advice.

Intended user
Patients
Clinical domain
Breast cancer

Shared Nyx foundation

Shared-knowledge principle

These applications are different expressions of a shared knowledge foundation being developed through Nyx.

A common foundation is intended to keep source evidence, interpretation, review, versioning, and maintenance connected as applications evolve.
