Kairos Therapeutics has developed a proprietary next generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platform based on novel toxin, linker and site-specific conjugation technology. Kairos has demonstrated superior pre-clinical in-vivo efficacy over T-DM1. Further pre-clinical studies demonstrate Kairos’ ADCs have superior tolerability and therapeutic index, compared to other leading platforms which may lead to greater clinical efficacy. Through key partnerships, Kairos is developing a novel therapeutic pipeline and is out-licensing its ADC platform to companies seeking access to state-of-the-art technology.

Healthcare Software focusing in on Mental health & Addictions. The main goal is to place these individuals on a path to recovery.

TREAT product line is commercially available as an EHR serving the unique needs of community behavioral health, rehabilitation, and other community-based providers. The design of our system is centered on a client-centered recovery model principle with best practice assessments linked to an interdisciplinary plan of care which is at the core of our methodology. TREAT’s modules create a record of client care that functions at multiple levels and builds upon itself. From assessments, to care planning, to documentation, to decision support, TREAT provides an integrated solution centered on client care.

Assessment Tools

Our TREAT product has a catalog of over 120 different assessment tools, and can be customized to include new tools upon request. Assessments are linked with our Interdisciplinary Plan of Client Care (IPCC) and Progress Notes modules to offer a truly integrated approach to patient care.

Supporting Metrics or Evidence
TREAT’s IPCC and Progress Notes modules offer integrated Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) developed in partnership with researcher Dr. Diane Doran at the University of Toronto. This module incorporates best practice guidelines into the care plan, delivering vital, pertinent guidelines to care givers at the point in time when they are making treatment decisions. The BPG options are available as canned-text which is accessed automatically using an incremental search feature. This database can be managed by the administrator, so any updates or organization specific best practices can be incorporated directly into the TREAT system. The standardization provided by this feature offers allows clinical decision support professionals to report against these text fields and improve the organization’s practices to achieve better client care. For example, these reports can help professionals to measure the effectiveness of certain interventions in the treatment of specific issues.
