Personalized
Always Keep Complex Medication Under Control
Patient safety is the top priority when prescribing medication, as side effects or treatment failure can have serious consequences.
Therefore, it is crucial to consider the dosage and interactions of the medications being taken, as well as individual risk factors such as allergies, lab values, and genetic factors.
Efficient
Optimized Medication Processes, From Which Everyone Benefits
With our digital drug therapy safety pathway, we guide users safely through the medication process, reducing the workload of medical staff. By avoiding medication risks, not only can patient well-being be improved, but potential follow-up costs can also be prevented.
Intuitive
User-friendliness that delights
Users are guided step by step through the medication process. All essential functions are easily accessible on the user interface, and the clear classification of interaction severity provides additional clarity.
Interoperabel
Seamless integration into your IT infrastructure
Our open interfaces ensure efficient integration into your IT landscape by supporting HL7 and FHIR standards. The software is web-based and installed locally on your servers. The interface to the telematics infrastructure enables access to the electronic patient file (ePA) for the creation of the electronic medication plan (eMP) and e-prescriptions.
No licensing fees for interfaces
Including free interface maintenance

PGXperts PRiM as an integrated drug therapy safety (AMTS) solution
PGXperts PRiM is compatible with a wide range of healthcare IT solutions. As an AMTS partner, we are integrated into the digital care and treatment documentation VMobil by ADVANOVA.
Pharmacogenetics is the key to Personalized Medication
Pharmacogenetics studies how our genes influence the effectiveness and safety of medications. It enables safe and effective drug therapy tailored to the individual genetics of each patient.

In 5 Steps to Personalized Medication with the PGXperts PGxProfile
The PGxProfile helps you consider your patients’ genetically determined risks in the prescription process and avoid adverse drug reactions by personalizing the choice and dosage of medication.
It contains the results of the pharmacogenetic analysis with all the analyzed gene variants and their influence on the efficacy and tolerability of specific medications, including clinical consequences and actions.
1. Conduct a consultation with the patient
2. Collect a 2-5 ml EDTA blood sample
3. Send documentation and blood sample to the laboratory
4. Scan PGxProfile into PGXperts PRiM
5. Educate the patient and personalize the medication
Benefits of PGxProfile
Benefits for the hospital

PGXperts PRiM and VMobil
Reliable Medication Management
The mobile electronic patient chart VMobil by ADVANOVA GmbH was specifically developed for use in daily clinical practice. Aimed at reducing medication errors and thus avoidable risks for the patient during drug therapy, PGXperts PRiM enhances the system with a range of features:
Medication history and transition to hospital medication
Creation of discharge medication (including e-prescription)
Drug therapy safety check at every step of the medication process
Support in the pharmacogenetic end-to-end process
Polypharmacy patient*
Mrs Elisabeth Schmidt (74) is hospitalized due to severe pneumonia.
She reports an ulcer in her mouth and an unexplained haematoma on her lower leg.
In addition to rheumatoid arthritis, she suffers from high blood pressure and her uric acid levels are elevated.
Drug medication history
by scanning the medication plan that the patient has brought with them.
All the information it contains is transferred automatically into PGXperts PRiM.
Hospital medication
Ramipril is replaced by Enalapril.
She prescribes the antibiotic Ampicillin/Sulbactam i.v. to treat the pneumonia.
She advises Mrs Schmidt to avoid milk while taking Azathioprine and to avoid eating grapefruit and liquorice.
Drug interaction
She discovers a serious interaction between Azathioprine and Allopurinol, which can lead to increased liver values and blood disorders.
There is also a risk of severe skin reactions due to a potential pharmacogenetic effect.
For this reason, she switches Allopurinol to Benzbromarone 20mg daily, slowly increasing to 100mg.
Pharmacogenetic effect
She then orders genotyping, the results of which show reduced TPMT activity.
As a result Dr Müller reduces the dose.
Extended risk factor
Dr Müller switches his clinic medication from Bisoprolol to Nebivolol due to a previous severe pollen allergy in order to minimise the risk of a severe allergic reaction.
Discharge medication
Dr Müller expects that by reducing the dose of Azathioprine, the mouth ulcer and haematoma will subside in the near future.
The discharge medication is created in PGXperts PRiM and automatically transferred to the doctor's discharge summary letter.
Dr Müller creates a new electronic prescription and an eMP.
1) Drug medication history
Dr Müller records the patient´s medication history
She records the current medication by scanning the patients medication plan.
All the information it contains is transferred automatically into PGXperts PRiM.
2) Hospital medication
Dr Müller changes the medication to the hospital formulary, which is stored in PGXperts PRiM.
Ramipril is replaced by Enalapril.
She advises Mrs Schmidt to avoid milk while taking Azathioprine and to avoid eating grapefruit and liquorice.
She prescribes the antibiotic Ampicillin/Sulbactam i.v. to treat the pneumonia.
Dr Müller checks the medication for drug therapy safety risks with PGXperts PRiM.
She discovers a serious interaction between Azathioprine and Allopurinol, which can lead to increased liver values and blood disorders.
There is also a risk of severe skin reactions due to a potential pharmacogenetic effect.
For this reason, she switches Allopurinol to Benzbromarone 20mg daily, slowly increasing to 100mg.
4) Pharmacogenetic effect
Dr Müller is informed that the FDA recommends genetic testing before administering the high-risk drug Azathioprine due to its Myelotoxicity.
She then orders genotyping, the results of which show reduced TPMT activity.
As a result Dr Müller reduces the dose.
5) Extended risk factor
PGXperts PRiM accesses historical and current treatment data.
Dr Müller switches from Bisoprolol to Nebivolol in the hospital medication due to a previous severe pollen allergy in order to minimise the risk of a severe allergic reaction.
6) Discharge medication
Mrs Schmidt recovers from the pneumonia within a few days and is discharged from hospital.
Dr Müller expects that by reducing the dose of Azathioprine, the mouth ulcer and haematoma will subside in the near future.
The discharge medication is created in PGXperts PRiM and automatically transferred to the doctor’s discharge summary letter.
Dr Müller creates a new electronic prescription and an eMP.
