Our Data

We partner with health systems to safely and ethically make their de-identified patient data available to AI developers. Currently, the data is acquired from Sharp HealthCare, Sanford Health, and Texas Health Resources – with two additional U.S. health systems joining soon.

We have clinical data dating back to July 1, 2016. This data represents over 10 million patients and includes but is not limited to:

• Structured data (e.g., 100% of the EMR, including some claims)

• Unstructured text (e.g., clinical notes, radiology reports)

• Images (e.g., DICOM, pathology)

• Video

• Waveforms

• Continuous streaming monitoring data
