Similar Patient Finder
GitLab Open Source Introduction Similar Patient Finder (SPF) is a web-based clinical decision support tool that helps physicians explore patient similarities at the molecular level. Given a dataset of high-throughput gene expression profiles, optionally paired with clinical metadata, SPF runs a configurable analysis pipeline and renders the results as an interactive 2D patient map, making it easier to identify disease subtypes, staging, and appropriate therapy options. The motivation was that raw genomic data is too high-dimensional for direct inspection. SPF bridges the gap between bioinformatics methods and clinical workflows by wrapping a full preprocessing-to-visualization pipeline in a browser-based interface that requires no command-line work from the physician.
