Exist Software Labs, Inc. was honored to take part in the 9th International Symposium hosted by the Metro Manila Health Research and Development Consortium (MMHRDC) last June 5, 2025 at Asian Hospital and Medical Center (AHMC). The event gathered researchers, clinicians, and healthcare innovators in a shared mission to promote research-driven healthcare practices in the Philippines.
The event opened with an inspiring message from Dr. Beaver Tamesis, President and CEO of AHMC, followed by the official launch of the Asian Learning Institute. A series of dynamic activities—including research poster and oral presentations, a health infomercial contest, and a photography competition—highlighted the symposium’s commitment to innovation, academic excellence, and the advancement of medical and health research.
As part of our commitment to advancing healthcare through technology, Exist Software Labs, Inc. was present in the event to promote awareness for UpToDate—a leading evidence-based clinical resource available to the entire AHMC institution.
Exist proudly empowers AHMC’s healthcare staff with unparalleled medical intelligence through our partnership with Wolter’s Kluwer. UpToDate is an electronic evidence-based clinical decision support resource designed by expert physicians for clinicians to answer clinical questions, increase clinical knowledge and improve patient outcomes. It helps doctors, residents, nurses, and researchers access trusted medical knowledge, search for any clinical term or condition and get answers to their questions in real-time, 24×7, anywhere, from any device, and more importantly at the point of care.
Key Features of UpToDate:

It supports clinical decisions and improves patient care by means of expertly putting such critical information in an intelligent format that physicians, residents and nurses can search and view in 65 seconds. Clinicians also benefit from laboratory monographs with accompanying static algorithms that quickly help interpret abnormal test results, along with interactive guides designed to address specific clinical questions with ease.
