Tahoma Clinic Implements the Nervana Discovery Solution to Improve Preventive Medicine Research.BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Nervana (www.nervana.com), a leading knowledge discovery technology company, announced today that the Tahoma Clinic, a medical facility that focuses on disease prevention and treatment by natural biochemical and bioenergetic means, has implemented The Nervana Discovery Solution to complement its leading-edge research and development initiatives. The Tahoma Clinic of Renton, Washington Renton is a city in King County, Washington, USA, immediately southeast of Seattle. The population was 50,052 at the 2000 census. The Washington State Office of Financial Management estimates the 2007 Renton population at 60,290. is known worldwide for its medical research findings. Jonathan V. Wright, MD, the clinic's medical director, is also known for his books and medical articles. Dr. Wright has authored/co-authored 11 books. Since 1996, Dr. Wright has authored Nutrition and Healing, a monthly newsletter emphasizing nutritional medicine nutritional medicine, n 1. use of food and nutrition as a medical approach. 2. supplementation of diet with nutrients, intermediary metabolic products, and probiotics to prevent illness and improve health and heal-ing.

"The Nervana Discovery Solution allows us to simultaneously cross-index valuable data from disparate medical and natural science data sources, providing us valuable information as we prescribe natural treatments for our patients who are normally unresponsive unresponsive Neurology adjective Referring to a total lack of response to neurologic stimuli to conventional treatment," says Dr. Wright. "We can ask questions and see meaningful results within seconds, which positively impacts the speed of our research." "Simple key-word search from consumer-driven search technologies and knowledge management solutions do not -- and cannot -- address the complexities of life-science related searches which are highly context-sensitive and multidimensional in nature," said Nosa Omoigui, Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Nervana, Inc. "Nervana's technology makes relevant associations through powerful semantic algorithms and ontologies, finding information faster, significantly advancing research and development within life sciences." Nervana's technology replaces keyword search, pattern-based search, and content management solutions by allowing researchers to semantically search information repositories across multiple dimensions, simultaneously -- a capability not possible with other technologies. The Nervana Discovery Solution is highly personalized, and enables users to ask questions naturally and contextually in a search-like text box using a simple variant of keywords in a Boolean search A search for specific data. It implies that any condition can be searched for using the Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT. For example, the English language request: "Search for all Spanish and French speaking employees who have MBAs would be expressed as follows. , and then triangulates them with additional semantic processes, such as ranking based on relevance and time sensitivity, indexing on any source or content on the web, cross indexing of multiple ontologies, and access to online content services. This complex yet transparent process allows the user to have the power of true semantics with the simplicity and intuitiveness of keywords. The ability to cut across multiple domain boundaries and data sources efficiently is a slow and costly process with life science organizations today. The Nervana Discovery Solution arms the customer with instant multi-dimensional hypothesis generation and validation, and increased quality of data fed back into the discovery feedback process, ultimately leading to more timely release of products and lower costs of research and development. The Nervana Discovery Solution represents the most powerful and truly intelligent knowledge discovery solution available today, providing knowledge without barriers. About Nervana, Inc.
