SAN FRANCISCO, October 8, 2024 – InsightRX – the leader in Bayesian model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) software – today announced it will present three research abstracts at IDWeek 2024, which will be held Oct. 16-19 in Los Angeles.
IDWeek is a joint annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, the HIV Medicine Association, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society and the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.
All three abstracts authored by InsightRX will be presented on Friday, Oct. 18, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. PT in Hall J&K:

While antibiotics such as vancomycin and aminoglycosides are widely used in hospitals to treat infections, they present unique dosing and monitoring challenges for clinicians. Drug levels outside the target range for individual patients can cause nephrotoxicity that results in worsening patient conditions, longer hospital stays, and higher costs of care. Nearly a half-million patients are impacted by AKIs in the U.S. each year, costing the nation’s healthcare system $4.7 billion to $24.0 billion annually, according to research published by the National Library of Medicine.
“We’re excited about presenting our findings at IDWeek and discussing with colleagues how advances in Bayesian MIPD are increasing the accuracy of antibiotic dosing,” said Sirj Goswami, PhD, CEO and cofounder of InsightRX.
“Our goal is to advance knowledge and practices surrounding MIPD to improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiency while reducing the incidence of adverse drug events for our customers.. These abstracts show where progress is being made and where we’re headed.”
