INTRODUCTORY BROCHURE The DoseMe Platform
The DoseMe® Platform Personalised Medicine: Making Complex Simple What is DoseMe®?DoseMe is an easy-to-use Bayesian dose-individualisation platform designed for clinicians and healthcare practitioners to optimise patient care. DoseMe currently supports several classes of drugs, including antibiotics, anti-coagulants, and chemotherapeutic agents. DoseMe supports label or guideline-based dosing as well as dose-individualisation.
Why Dose-Individualise?Adverse drug events on average require 4.6 additional hospital days, at a cost of approximately $10,000.1 For the commonly used antibiotic, gentamicin (which makes up approximately 7% of total hospital antibiotic use2), the effects of adverse dosing events include nephrotoxicity and vestibular damage. These each occur in conservatively 2-3% of patients, but likely significantly more.3,4 For large tertiary hospitals, conservatively assuming 2-3%, this is approximately $3 million per annum for each hospital, just for gentamicin. In fact, other drugs such as warfarin have substantially higher adverse drug Appropriate methods of dose adjustment and individualisation have been shown to reduce adverse drug events by 75-80%.5 Furthermore, Bayesian dose individualisation has been shown to significantly extend life for patients undergoing Finally, computerised dose individualisation has been mandated by the 2010 Australian Therapeutic Guidelines for the use of aminoglycosides. Gentamicin toxicity is a known issue to the legal community, with some law firms specialising in these Drug SupportDoseMe currently supports the following drugs: • Amikacin (adults and paediatric) • Itraconazole (adults and paediatric) • Busulfan (adults and paediatric) • Methotrexate (adults and paediatric) • Ciclosporin (adults) (adults and paediatric) • Enoxaparin (adults) • Tobramycin (adults and paediatric) • Gentamicin (adults and paediatric) • Vancomycin (adults and paediatric) • Factor VIII (adults and paediatric) • Voriconazole (adults) • Flucloxacillin (adults and paediatric) (adults and paediatric) New drugs are being added continually, and DoseMe can support specific drugs on request. DoseMe does not limit the number of compartments or the types and kinds of covariates supported in drug models.
Clinically TestedDoseMe has undergone multiple trials for both accuracy and usability. DoseMe was found in a recent study to be the most accurate individualised dosing method tested, having both the lowest bias and highest precision.9 These trials report extremely positive findings, both for clinical outcomes, and DoseMe's ease-of-use. DoseMe was initially developed in conjunction with clinical and research staff in the Royal Brisbane and Womens' Hospital – the largest teaching hospital in the southern hemisphere – for both clinical and research purposes. DoseMe has been piloted at multiple hos- pitals across Australia and Eur These programmes [iPad and web-interface] provide easy to use dosing "support for these difficult to dose medications… We have found the DoseMe software very straightforward for doctors to use.

Designed for the ClinicDoseMe has been designed from the ground-up to seamlessly fit into a clinical workflow. DoseMe supports use by the bedside (iPads / iPhones), the desktop (web interface), as well as integrating into existing patient management software.
(Cloud or Physical) DoseMe supports industry standard integration languages, including HL7, and is currently being extended to provide dosing recommendations (after physician approval) to patient phones.
Custom integration services are also available to suit whatever clinical requirements you may have.

Fully SupportedDoseMe is a fully-supported product 24x7, with both phone and online support. DoseMe has partnered with a leading global IT solution provider, allowing DoseMe to provide world-wide support, localisation, and implementation services.
Performance and availability of the DoseMe Platform is continually monitored, so you can rely on DoseMe being there when you need it.
A Regulated Medical DeviceDosing support software is considered a regulated medical device in much of the world. DoseMe has obtained CE marking, TGA approval, and hopes to shortly file for FDA approval. Designed and built to comply with these requirements from the beginning, DoseMe gives you confidence that you're using software developed and maintained to the rigorous standards appropriate for a clinical Every time a new DoseMe installation occurs, or an update is prepared for release, a large set of validation tests (thousands) are automatically performed to ensure that DoseMe remains numerically precise. Before releasing updates, user acceptance testing of DoseMe is also undertaken – making sure DoseMe's interface is suitable for clinical practice.
Every model incorporated in DoseMe goes through rigorous review by an expert pharmacometrician.
Cloud-Based and ScalableDoseMe is a cloud-based solution that can be deployed and made available immediately, without requiring lengthy and difficult IT compatibility projects. However, we do support integration with in-house systems if required. DoseMe scales seamlessly, supporting 1 to more than 100,000 patients.
