Team

A small team, deep expertise.

We're intentionally small: academic-caliber AI research paired with hands-on delivery, backed by a much larger network of research collaborators.

Deepak Kumar
Managing Partner & Head of AI
  • PhD AI researcher and co-author on our clinical AI publications
  • Works full-time on client engagements as your day-to-day point of contact, from Discovery through deployment

A tenured AI researcher and a PhD scientist running delivery day to day means our core team already sits at the intersection of clinical research and shipped product, the connective role this field increasingly needs. That core team is small by design. Every engagement is also backed by a wider network of research collaborators through our founder's university clinical AI research lab and multidisciplinary health research institute, with 25+ faculty spanning AI, engineering, and clinical medicine.
