In September 2022, nference introduced the nSights platform, which facilitates research by utilising the federated data network.

This offers customers access to insights from a curated, de-identified dataset covering various therapeutic areas such as cardiology, oncology, metabolic diseases, immunology, and infectious diseases.

The platform enables researchers and healthcare professionals to advance discovery and speed up development by creating specific cohorts for extensive research, while safeguarding patient privacy.

nference co-founder and CEO Murali Aravamudan said: “As we continue to advance deep collaborations with the world’s best academic medical centres, our multimodal AI platform will enable the discovery of life-saving medicines, advance the development of next-generation diagnostics and interventions, and transform clinical practice at an unprecedented scale.”
