Core Products

• Medical LLM: Generative AI models built for clinical text summarization, information extraction, reasoning, and question answering. The company reports these models rank first on 12 healthcare benchmarks compared to GPT-5.4, Gemini-3.1, and Claude-Opus-4.6. Models are deployable on-premise and are HIPAA compliant.
• Healthcare NLP (Medical SLMs): A library of over 3,000 small language models designed for de-identification, named entity recognition (NER), assertion status detection, and relation extraction. These models are designed to run on commodity hardware.
• Generative AI Lab: A no-code platform for implementing human-in-the-loop annotation and validation workflows. It supports active learning and is intended for building regulatory-grade AI pipelines without writing code.
• Terminology Server: Provides semantic mapping of medical phrases to standard or custom code systems, concept maps, and value sets.

Key Solutions

• Multimodal De-Identification: Anonymizes and obfuscates data across multiple file types including free text, FHIR, PDF, DICOM, SVS, and EHR formats. The company describes this as a regulatory-grade clinical de-identification solution.
• Data Curation: Automates the creation of patient registries, cohorts, quality measures, care gap analyses, and analytics from unstructured clinical documents, converting EHR text into structured, queryable data.
• Patient Journey Intelligence: A secondary use platform that integrates multimodal and longitudinal clinical data into a unified, living OMOP data model, enabling a complete view of patient journeys across data sources.
