Tempus Introduces Fuses, A Program Designed to Transform Therapeutic Research and Build the Largest Diagnostic Platform Using its Novel Foundation Model

The initiative will apply its massive, multimodal dataset to build models that aim to improve diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive modeling

Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine and patient care, today announced the launch of its Fuses program. This initiative will harness Tempus’ proprietary dataset to generate valuable insights for both patient care and research, combining the power of its data and machine learning capabilities to develop an AI enabled-diagnostic platform offering physicians the largest suite of algorithmic tests designed to make precision medicine a reality. 

Over the past decade, Tempus has built  a multimodal data library of over 40 million research records, including more than 1.5 million records with matched clinical data linked with genomic information, 2 million records with imaging data, and approximately 300,000 records with genomic and  whole transcriptomic data. The scale and size of this data library will allow the company to uncover groundbreaking discoveries that were previously out of reach.

Fuses will accelerate Tempus’ comprehensive testing portfolio, expanding its suite of AI-enabled diagnostics. Insights from Fuses will be developed into clinically validated algorithmic diagnostics that may enable highly personalized care, such as identifying patients unlikely to respond to approved therapies or those at risk of severe treatment-related events. Tempus has already begun this work with last year’s launch of its Immune Profile Score (IPS) a multimodal biomarker that can be used as a prognostic indicator for adult patients with metastatic pan-solid tumors eligible for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy.

“We have spent the last ten years building, scaling, and curating one of the most comprehensive datasets in our industry, and now we are well positioned to develop the world’s largest diagnostic model, designed to answer critical, unsolved questions and make our diagnostics smarter and more personalized,” said Eric Lefkofsky, Founder and CEO of Tempus. “We are on the brink of delivering tangible, transformative change in matching the right therapies to the right patients – making personalized care a reality for millions.”

The foundational model behind Fuses is learning generalizable rules determining prognosis and drug benefit in real-world practice. With the goal of furthering researchers’ understanding of why certain clinical trials fail, identify new indications for investigational drugs, optimize trial design, and uncover combination therapies to broaden patient benefit. By revealing biomarker rules, the model may also surface mechanisms of drug response and resistance to inspire a new generation of companion diagnostics and therapeutic research.
