    Notes on slide 1

    I’m Kevin Gilpin CTO of Praxeon Inc, an Amazon AWS user Scaling storage and computation with S3 and EC2 is going to be well covered by other presenters So I am coming at this from a somewhat different angle : how AWS helped us to move fast and find a market for our technology Operating cheaply is great for companies that have found a market. But AWS is important even before that.

    Praxeon at AWS The Start-Up Project - Presentation Transcript

    1. Praxeon : Getting to Market with Amazon AWS September 2007
    2. About Us
      • Founded in 2005 with a scientific focus
      • Developed medical search technology based on chemical fingerprints and ideas from natural language
      • Dr. Dennis Underwood, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer
        • Chemistry, Computational Sciences
        • Big pharma and small pharma R&D
      • Nicolas Encina President, Chief Operating Officer
        • Comuter Science, Biology
        • Small pharma
      • Rishi Sikka , MD Chief Medical Officer
        • Practicing physician
      • Kevin Gilpin Chief Technical Officer
        • Computer Science, Aerospace engineering
        • Enterprise software, small pharma
    3. Fingerprint.MD Technology
      • Change the representation of a document (journal, patent, news, etc.) from words to concepts
      • Applies a domain model
      • to create a Semantic Fingerprint.
      • Uses whole ideas to search, organize and analyze information.
      • Enables intelligent search results to sophisticated questions in the language of medicine

    4. Finding our way with Amazon AWS
      • Finding the Product + Market Fit
      • So you have a technology idea? How do you find the right audience for it?
      • The demand is to build real enough software that people can use it while staying extremely adaptable and agile
      • Maximum time spent on your technology and functionality, the minimum possible time on ‘plumbing’
      • Using Amazon AWS helps us to spend more time on our core technology
      “ The line for technology with no business model is over there…”
    5. What is the application?
      • Drug discovery and development
        • Internal IT in pharma and biotech
        • Discovery of new knowledge ; lead generation and new IP
      • Search application for medical professionals
        • Physicians, hospitals, insurers
        • Profile-driven search : find the best evidence from a patient record
        • Integrate to EMR systems
      • Search application for patients
        • Profile-driven search
        • Profile-driven news
      • Technology platform
        • “ Fingerprint.MD is the medical intelligence
        • engine”

    10. Tangible Benefits
      • No self-hosted infrastructure; no sys admin
      • Storage
        • Freed from worries of scale and failure
        • Locally cached on EC2 instance
      • Provisioning
        • First a single machine. Then proof of concept to test S3 integration
        • Added separate production environment with no additional effort
        • Built some simple tools to provision and manage the instances using Capistrano
      • Security
        • EC2 provides port security and instructions on how to issue and use credentials.
      • Future
        • Being in EC2 enables us to start thinking about using value-added services like Mashery for the Fingerprint.MD API and RightScale for scaling up the application layer and we know that everything is co-located.
    11. Where we are Today
      • www.curbside.md
        • Since April 2007
        • “ Evidence-based answers to real medical questions”
        • Supported by 10 disease advocacy organizations including the National MS Society and the Accelerated Cure Project
        • Answered thousands of professional medical questions
      • www.mydailyapple.com
        • Since September 2007
        • “ Personalized news and search for patients”
        • Won audience poll for best search engine over Helia, MedStory, Kosmix, Healthline at Health 2.0 conference
      • www.fingerprint.md
        • “ Medical intelligence API”
        • ReST-ful web services to search, organize, comprehend
        • Starting pilot program in October
