Health AI and software
Clinical decision support, analytics for health leaders, AI-powered devices, clinical validation.
Therapeutics
Biologics, cell-derived and subcellular therapies, small molecules, lab to clinic.
Medical devices
Medical, surgical and imaging devices, bioengineered devices, biomaterials, durable medical equipment.
FDA and quality
Regulatory strategy and submissions, GMP and scale-up manufacturing, clinical validation.
Growth
Competitive assessment, enterprise sales to health systems, marketing, revenue growth.
Health AI
From pilots to procurement
Health AI is moving from pilots to purchasing decisions. The products that get bought show evidence, fit the clinical workflow, and have a path to payment.
We have built on both halves of health AI: clinical data, through healthcare partnerships for Deep 6 AI (AI that reads medical records to match patients to clinical trials, acquired by Tempus AI in 2025), and medical imaging, through Vanquish Cancer (AI on endoscopic ultrasound video, in the procedure room).
Multimodal evidence
AI that combines images, records and pathology needs ground truth that holds up to review. We design datasets, physician adjudication and validation that can stand in front of the FDA and a hospital committee.
AI in the room
Real-time AI during procedures raises hard questions about latency, hospital networks, cloud versus on-site computing, and how it fits the workflow. We plan deployment with hospital IT, not around it.
Real-world data
Records-based AI for trial matching and research depends on data partnerships, governance and data use agreements. We structure them with health systems.
A moving FDA
New guidance on clinical decision support, plans for updating models after clearance, and Breakthrough designation change the regulatory strategy. We build it in from day one.
A path to payment
New billing codes for AI and CMS pilots are opening reimbursement routes. We plan coding, coverage and the value story early.
Health-system governance
Hospitals now vet AI for bias, monitoring and human oversight before they buy. We prepare the evidence package procurement asks for.
Our bench
Senior specialists for each engagement
FDA regulatory
Regulatory affairs partners with decades across drugs, biologics, vaccines and devices, including a former FDA reviewer and inspector.
Clinical AI engineering
CTO-level leadership for imaging datasets, physician-adjudicated annotation and validation built to stand up to FDA review.
Clinical and research partnerships
Twenty-plus years in global clinical operations and site networks, at a top-ten pharma company and a major US health system research institute.
