Persistent Systems, a global leader in digital engineering and enterprise modernization, announced the launch of Pi-OmniKG , an advanced AI-driven knowledge graph solution built on Google Cloud technology. “Omni” stands for the ability to universally process diverse data, and “KG” stands for Knowledge Graphs powered by GenAI. This innovative solution enables healthcare and life sciences organizations to accelerate biomedical research, streamline data mining processes, and deliver insights faster and more accurately.
Biomedical research is often hampered by time-consuming and laborious data mining workflows. Legacy systems struggle to efficiently incorporate and analyze diverse datasets, delaying the generation of actionable insights critical to HCLS organizations. Pi-OmniKG addresses these challenges by modernizing data integration processes, creating a holistic knowledge base to decipher complex relationships, enabling researchers to make evidence-based decisions faster by uncovering hidden insights. Additionally, Pi-OmniKG enables direct querying of internal structured and unstructured data, alone or in combination with external data.
Main advantages of the solution:
- Reduced hypothesis generation time, enabling researchers to make evidence-based decisions faster.
- Speed up data processing, to improve research efficiency.
- Seamless integration of various data types, files and sources from public and private datasets, creating a unified knowledge base.
- Incorporate reusable components with built-in flexibility to meet specific customer needs for intelligent decision support.
Pi-OmniKG is built using advanced Google Cloud technologies—including the Vertex AI Platform, BigQuery, and Cloud SQL—leveraging GenAI capabilities to streamline workflows, standardize data, and enable seamless integration of structured and unstructured datasets. Its intuitive interface allows researchers to query and visualize data, discover new relationships, and provide high-quality insights supported by authentic citations.
