Partnership transformation

We stand at the threshold of a new era in evidence synthesis. FIECON has joined forces with Nested Knowledge, Inc., an industry leader in AI-based SaaS platform solutions. Together, we are on a transformative path, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to revolutionise the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and meta-analysis process.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in enhancing efficiency and innovation in the field, while also reinforcing our commitment to advancing evidence synthesis for informed decision-making in healthcare.

Mark Fisher, FIECON COO, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, "The integration of Nested Knowledge's AI platform into our research processes marks a significant milestone in our mission to optimize healthcare outcomes. This partnership leverages the power of technology to refine the way we conduct evidence synthesis, ensuring that healthcare decisions are informed by the most accurate evidence and ultimately treatments reach patients quicker.”

“FIECON’s experience in delivering high-quality systematic reviews, as well as in health economics and outcomes research generally, makes them the ideal partner for scaling up AI-assisted, updatable repositories of evidence needed for key decisions,” said Kevin Kallmes, CEO of Nested Knowledge. “Their expertise in both subject matter and research processes will be necessary to address the accelerating needs for rapid evidence synthesis across the pharma lifecycle.”

The collaboration brings together FIECON's expertise in health economics and Nested Knowledge's innovative AI-driven solutions. The use of AI in this context not only accelerates the research process but also enhances the quality and reliability of the findings, facilitating a more dynamic response to the rapidly evolving body of medical literature.

Key benefits of this strategic alliance include:

  • Accelerated review times, enabling quicker transitions from research to practical application.
  • Improved accuracy and consistency across SLRs, reducing the risk of human error.
  • Enhanced analytical depth, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of complex healthcare data.
