E271 Erwan Rivet, Chief Technology Officer at Octave Bioscience

Today's guest is Erwan Rivet, Chief Technology Officer at Octave Bioscience in California. Octave is developing a comprehensive, first-in-class Care Management Platform. The team has developed novel measurement tools that feed into structured analytical data models, leading to improved decision-making, better outcomes, and lower costs. They are tackling neurodegenerative diseases -- starting with multiple sclerosis (MS). Octave believe that to dramatically improve outcomes, they need to improve care management.

The challenges for MS are significant, the issues are overwhelming and the needs are mostly unmet. That’s why Octave is creating a comprehensive, measurement-driven care management platform for MS. Finally, stakeholders need better information that is highly actionable. Octave’s three layer model of biological, clinical, and economic data combined with sophisticated analytics, contextualization, machine learning and AI provide new insights for physicians, patients, payers and pharma.
