/PRNewswire/ -- TEMIS, leading provider of Text Analytics software solutions for the Life Science industry announced today that they have entered in a strategic software and services agreement with Bayer HealthCare. Bayer HealthCare has chosen TEMIS acclaimed Text Analytics solution to streamline and speed up its drug discovery process.

    Efficient information management is a major challenge in biological, chemical and clinical research today. However, a large part of the critical information is only available from scientific articles and patent documents that are stored in free text format. This volume of literature is growing exponentially and makes it almost impossible for researchers and scientists to retrieve all relevant information on a specific topic and keep up with current research. Bayer HealthCare's scientists required a powerful system able to integrate information from various sources and across different disciplines.

    With Luxid(R) for Life Sciences, TEMIS brings a long-awaited answer to the challenges of unstructured information management through automated domain- specific knowledge extraction, flexible analytics, documents classification, relationships representation and retrieval capabilities. Luxid(R) for Life Sciences' specific Skill Cartridges(TM) dedicated to the fields of biology, chemistry and medicine, provide Bayer HealthCare Information Professionals with instant access to powerful text analytics capabilities, supporting their efforts all along the product lifecycle, from target identification and lead compound selection to safety assessment.

    What makes Luxid(R) for Life Sciences really special for Bayer HealthCare is its ability to analyze various kind of information within one single application. Most applications in this field concentrate on just one knowledge area like protein-protein interaction, but TEMIS has created a powerful integrated solution which allows to analyze chemical information together with biological information for example.
