Real-World Data for Health Innovation
We built a platform that provides easy at-scale access to diagnostic-grade medical images globally. Our product connects life sciences and healthcare technology companies to a network of real-world clinical imaging data to speed disease detection models, patient recruitment, and clinical research. The core challenge was aggregating and standardizing vast amounts of medical imaging data across regions and sources to make it usable for analytics and AI.
We live in Palo Alto, CA and have a remote team. After YC, the company will remain based in Palo Alto with distributed contributors.
We chose Palo Alto to be near the heart of healthcare AI and life sciences innovation, and it helps us connect with early customers and partners. Remote work complements this by allowing us to build a strong, diverse team.
