Founded by Colin Hill and Iya Khalil, former CEO and Executive Vice President of Via Science respectively, GNS healthcare was created to provide precision medicine using causal machine learning technology in an effort to better match drugs and other non-drug interventions to individual patients and members of a population.

Today, healthcare has a mismatching problem because there is a knowledge gap regarding the efficacy of drugs and treatments for a given population. As a result, health plans, self-insured employers, health systems, biopharmaceutical companies, and patient foundations lose hundreds of millions of dollars. GNS Healthcare provides a new level of matching drugs and other health interventions to individual patients in order to improve outcomes and lower the total cost of care by providing its customers with the information necessary to make data driven decisions.

To do this, GNS Healthcare takes data from mainstream sources, like claims and electronic medical records, and uses machine learning and advanced simulation to create a combination of risk, efficacy, and engagement analytics to predict personalized intervention ROI. GNS offers solutions for Metabolic Syndrome, Medication Adherence, and Advance Illness/Palliative care and have an active R&D pipeline focused on applications that reduce events, slow disease progression, and improve therapeutic effectiveness.
