nference
Health-AI platform that transforms unstructured EMR data into de-identified, analysis-ready real-world data through federated health-system partnerships.
nference, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, builds an AI platform that converts unstructured electronic medical record data — clinical notes, images, and waveforms — into de-identified, analysis-ready real-world data through federated partnerships with health systems including Mayo Clinic, supporting biopharma research from discovery through post-market evidence. The company remains independent and privately held. No public security certification page was verifiable, so request security and de-identification validation documentation during evaluation.
