Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming more cost-effective, delivering deeper actionable insights and driving advancements in precision medicine. However, its rapid growth and increasing adoption in healthcare present significant challenges. Traditional data management methods often operate in silos, resulting in time-consuming processes, limiting scalability, and delaying access to critical insights. In healthcare, the challenge is twofold: it is paramount that sensitive patient data remains highly secure while also being readily accessible to guide time-sensitive decision-making. 

To meet these demands and streamline genomic workflows, SOPHiA GENETICS joined forces with Rhapsody to develop an edge-deployed integration container for rapid deployment and seamless system integration. Unlike traditional solutions, this approach intelligently places a smaller, containerized engine on client premises to ensure rapid movement of large genomic data sets. This architecture ensures robust security while enabling fast data movement of large Next Generation Sequencing files, providing effortless interoperability, and scalable, repeatable implementation with minimal complexity. 

Attendees will explore key challenges and opportunities in deploying secure, scalable genomic workflows and improving access to actionable insights while ensuring data integrity and compliance.
