Our Technology

We transform data into knowledge you can actually use

Data alone can't solve problems

Access to the world's biomedical data is critical, yet it remains disorganized, difficult to work with, and getting it to 'usable' can feel impossible.

Knowledge is what you need

  • Our drug knowledge is available in ready-to-use formats That puts data in context and connects the dots
  • So you can quickly derive meaning And uncover new findings

And it's also our sweet spot

  • Our knowledgebase is rigorously structuredAnd goes way beyond merely organized biomedical data
  • It's full of novel insights and connectionsThat can lead to your next big discovery

We found a way to equip you with the world's biomedical knowledge

Using elevated AI capabilities

And advanced natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) technologies, that seek out relevant evidence and build connections.

And a wildly talented team of experts

Who run our AI's findings through a series of checks and balances to ensure our knowledge is accurate, up-to-date, and meticulously organized.

Our Knowledgebase

Our technology never stops searching the worlds biomedical data and updating our knowledgebase, so you can feel confident in your findings.
