More about ScienceIO
Each year, more than two trillion gigabytes of data are created by our healthcare system. Most healthcare data is incredibly tough to work with — key insights are hidden away in notes, forms, faxes, and PDFs. But if we can understand the data, we can understand how to care for patients better, find individuals with unmet needs, lower the cost of care, and improve human health.
ScienceIO is on a mission to transform how we work with healthcare data to build a more transparent, connected, and equitable healthcare system.
Our AI platform is purpose-built to decode the language of medicine and unlock the full potential of healthcare data. Our real-time APIs transform messy unstructured data to create insights, streamline healthcare operations, and provide the building blocks for new patient solutions.
ScienceIO is backed by top-tier investors (including Section 32, Lachy Groom, Quiet Capital, and more). Our team has experts in machine learning, medicine, biology, and healthcare operations. We’re a deeply curious, caring, and collaborative team passionate about improving the lives of patients.
