Our Academic Partners from pediatric and adult medical centers collectively prepare custom, diverse, curated, and de-identified multimodal datasets including medical images, patient demographics (age, gender, race, ethnicity, height, weight, and body mass index), geographic details, radiology reports, pathology reports, endoscopy findings, laboratory results, genetic data, cardiac study reports, clinical notes, past medical history, presenting complaints, discharge dates and statuses, medications, treatments, and specific clinical events (e.g. time to progression, progression-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival). All data is de-identified and securely transferred.
Yes. Our Academic Partners have access to the latest imaging technologies and techniques in radiology, pathology, and cardiology. The images from these start-of-the-art scanners can be mined and transferred to our Industry Partners.
Our miners work with our Academic Partners to search the electronic medical records and informatics system to identify the ideal datasets. We frequently conduct preliminary searches as part of our validation process. We standardize the process across the different Academic Partners.
Yes. Our Academic Partners are experts at mining complex patient outcome data from the electronic medical records. This often includes specific clinical events (e.g. time to progression, progression-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival). All data is de-identified and securely transferred.
The timing for electronic delivery of a dataset depends on the complexity of the request. Simple image datasets that need to be mined from Academic Partners are commonly delivered within 30 days. Projects that require multimodal patient data require additional time.
We don’t sell or place a value on patient images, reports, or multimodal data. Our fair pricing covers research and service expenses only, including personnel effort and data curation, de-identification, storage and transfer. The costs of our services depend upon the volume of images needed and overall complexity of the research, including the need for patient outcomes data.
Yes! We quality control all data at multiple steps including at each Academic Partner site and after ingestion and storage of the images and data centrally.
We can link you to other Industry Partners for all steps of the FDA clearance process including data gathering, AI algorithm and software development, image annotation, multi-reader validation studies, biostatistics, FDA consultation and application preparation, and establishment of a quality management system (QMS). Our Academic Partners can also be leveraged for various annotations and research validation steps.
