About restore79

restore79 is a digital health platform with two aims:

to improve the patient and caregiver understanding of dystrophies
to predict the impact of "add-on" therapies

restore79 addresses these aims with two analytical models: one focused on dystrophin and the second focused on the full muscle. The "Dystrophin Restoration" page gives users high-level access to the dystrophin model. The "Muscle Remodeling" page gives users similar access to the full muscle model.

Below, we exapand on our goals, who we are, how we are organized, and our model for developing tools to meet our goals.

Our Model

Diving into a new reasearch area is overwhelming. To enable faster and more efficient literature review, we have developed a model that automatically curates the latest research and maps key relationships into a knowledge graph using natural language processing and machine learning. The knowledge graph is then used to drive visualizations in restore79.

The model is currently being used to map the latest research on DMD, BMD, aging, and exercise. We break down the research, though visualizations, into two main categoreis: dystrophin restoration and muscle remodeling.

Fundraising

In addition to disemminating the latest dysrophinopathy research, we are also focused on raising funds for DMD and BMD research.
