Canada’s PhenoTips partnered with five clinical institutions to launch the CIPHER network, an initiative funded with C$5.4 million from Genome Canada to accelerate AI genomic medicine. The program will co-lead SmartRequisition, an AI-assisted platform designed to streamline clinical phenotyping and standardize digital laboratory test requisitions. The project targets one of the core bottlenecks in routine genomic care: translating messy clinical descriptions into consistent ordering and workflow-ready requests for genetic testing. PhenoTips said SmartRequisition builds on its existing AI genomic record and EHR-integrated software, already deployed across NHS Trusts in the UK and Canadian provincial authorities. If successful, the network could expand access to genomic testing and reduce ordering variability, enabling faster turnaround between phenotype intake and standardized lab execution.
