NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (CDNX: NCI) is providing its proprietary Virtual Nervous System (VNS) application in the health sector. It will develop and implement an innovative Inter/Intranet solution at The Hospital for Sick Children, for the Arab Genetic Disorders Consortium.

Virtual Nervous System is a corporate communications and knowledge management system designed to proficiently administer the increasing volume of information within today’s organizations. It offers an alternative to the static Inter/Intranet applications and systems of the past, and will link more than 30 researchers in 15 countries who are currently studying genetic disorders specific to the Arab population.

NTG Clarity’s application will enable the Consortium to organize and manage the vast amount of genetic data compiled worldwide. Researchers will soon be able to search historical data, record personal findings, engage in on-line discussions with Consortium members and track the progress of current research projects through a common interface.

"We are excited to have the opportunity to apply our Virtual Nervous System application to a project of this importance," says Ashraf Zaghloul, CEO and Chairman of NTG Clarity Networks Inc. "Through our involvement, we are providing a vehicle that will expedite the worldwide research on Arab genetic disorders that is currently underway. We believe that we can apply this to other areas in the health sector and almost any other sector where communications and efficiency is important"

"This project is an important first step in developing the database, which will benefit a million Canadians of Arab origin and 300 million worldwide," said Dr. Ahmad Teebi, section head of Clinical Genetics at The Hospital for Sick Children. "The database will be an important source of information for clinicians, students and researchers from around the world, and will have unique diagnostic uses."

"NTG Clarity is committed to working with industry leaders to continue to identify and develop innovative ways to share information, and communicate more efficiently such as we will be doing for the Hospital," says Essam Zaghloul, President of NTG Clarity Networks. "Given the flexibility of our application, we’re certain the possibilities are endless."
