Tempus launches automated service to keep cancer treatment recommendations current as guidelines evolve

Tempus AI has launched an automated clinical update service that places patients on "active follow-up" to support guideline-concordant care. The service provides clinicians with ongoing therapy monitoring and notifications through Hub, Tempus' AI-enabled physician portal. The service addresses the challenge of genomic reports becoming outdated as NCCN guidelines, FDA approvals and patient context evolve. It automatically surfaces updated therapy recommendations when clinical guidelines change or new treatments emerge, without requiring new patient samples. "We launched this automated clinical update service with the goal of bridging the gap between timing of sequencing and drug approval," said Ezra Cohen, Tempus' Chief Medical Officer of Oncology. The company aims to ensure genomic insights remain current throughout patients' treatment journeys rather than static reports.

Tempus launches automated "active follow-up" Service to support guideline-concordant care.

Tempus launches automated "active follow-up" Service to support guideline-concordant care. Rhea-AI Impact (Moderate) Rhea-AI Sentiment Key terms. FDA approvals regulatory precision medicine medical 04/13/2026 - 06:30 AM CHICAGO-(BUSINESS WIRE)- Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine, today announced the launch of an automated clinical update service designed to support guideline-concordant care by placing patients on an "active follow-up" track. This integrated workflow provides clinicians with ongoing therapy monitoring and context-aware notifications seamlessly delivered through Hub, Tempus' secure, AI-enabled physician portal. Because NCCN guidelines, FDA approvals, and patient context can all evolve rapidly, an initial genomic report can quickly become outdated relative to a patient's ongoing treatment journey. Tempus is addressing this challenge by automatically surfacing updated therapy recommendations when clinical guidelines change or new therapeutic options emerge - all without requiring a new patient sample. This ensures that patient insights remain as current as the science, supporting evidence-based decision-making throughout the patient's treatment journey. "The reality in modern oncology practice is that drugs are getting approved and treatments are changing at a much faster rate than before," said Ezra Cohen, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Oncology at Tempus. "Many times, this creates a situation where a patient's tumor harbors a targetable alteration but the treatment gets approved after sequencing is performed. We launched this automated clinical update service with the goal of bridging the gap between timing of sequencing and drug approval by providing a clinical safety net that keeps pace with the speed of medical innovation. By moving to a model of 'active follow-up,' we ensure that genomic insights remain a living resource rather than a static report." About Tempus Tempus is a technology company advancing precision medicine through the practical application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. With one of the world's largest libraries of multimodal data, and an operating system to make that data accessible and useful, Tempus provides AI-enabled precision medicine solutions to physicians to deliver personalized patient care and in parallel facilitates discovery, development and delivery of optimal therapeutics. The goal is for each patient to benefit from the treatment of others who came before by providing physicians with tools that learn as the company gathers more data.

Tempus AI expands oncology data collaboration with Gilead Sciences through AI-driven platform access.

Tempus AI expands oncology data collaboration with Gilead Sciences through AI-driven platform access. April 10, 2026 Tempus AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: TEM), a Chicago-based technology company, announced an expanded multi-year collaboration with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) aimed at advancing Gilead's oncology pipeline through enterprise-wide access to Tempus's AI-driven Lens platform and multimodal real-world evidence datasets. The agreement covers multiple oncology indications; no specific drug candidates or therapeutic targets were disclosed as part of the transaction. Financial terms were not disclosed. Under the expanded arrangement, Gilead gains enterprise-wide access to the Tempus Lens platform, which integrates de-identified genomic, clinical, imaging, and outcomes data into a unified repository supported by AI-driven analytical tooling. Disclosed applications include trial design, indication selection, biomarker strategy, health outcomes analysis, and clinical real-world evidence generation. Tempus will also provide dedicated analytical services under the agreement. The collaboration represents an expansion of a pre-existing relationship in which Gilead had previously used Tempus data to inform oncology R&D initiatives, and follows on from a collaboration between Tempus and Daiichi Sankyo announced in March 2026. The collaboration is designed to operate across Gilead's oncology pipeline rather than in support of a single program. Gilead's oncology portfolio includes sacituzumab govitecan, axicabtagene ciloleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, and magrolimab, among other assets, though none were named as specific beneficiaries of the arrangement. The platform's stated functions - indication prioritization, patient stratification, biomarker pre-validation, and real-world evidence generation - are applicable across tumor types and development stages.

Tempus AI's ALERT trial shows AI-driven EHR alerts improve heart valve care across five US health systems

Tempus AI reported positive results from its ALERT trial, demonstrating that AI-driven alerts from its Tempus Next platform improved evaluation and treatment decisions for aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation across five US health systems. The platform reduced clinical inertia whilst increasing multidisciplinary heart team reviews and valve procedures. The trial showcases Tempus' ability to convert real-world data into measurable care quality improvements. However, the clinical success doesn't immediately address near-term financial challenges, including pricing pressure and reimbursement uncertainties. The ALERT results complement Tempus' recent Daiichi Sankyo oncology collaboration, highlighting the platform's potential across multiple therapeutic areas. Tempus' investment narrative projects $2.3 billion revenue by 2029, requiring 22% annual growth, though the company remains unprofitable and faces ongoing monetisation risks if payors adopt AI-based decision support slowly.
