Our take
Spun out from a project developed at Stanford University, Atropos Health was founded to improve the use of generative AI in medical and research decision-making. The company’s software offers on-demand evidence and real-world data to improve evidence collation, elevating clinical trial outcomes.
The use of generative AI for medical purposes is in an exciting place at the moment, and Atropos Health is at the forefront of its evolution. The company’s Geneva Operating System is an original AI system and natural language processor that makes publication-quality clinical data accessible to those without technical skills, and at low cost.
Impressively, the company claims to provide query results in minutes rather than the traditional timeline of 2 to 6 months, hugely speeding up the research process. The power of its operating system is backed by the company’s substantial funding rounds, which will be used to expand operations and grow its portfolio of gen-AI products.
