How we work

A 4-person team moves fast. We stay grounded by a short list of operating principles.

Principle 01

Clinician-first

We build for the radiologist reading at 3 AM, not for the hospital CIO's dashboard. Clinical utility drives every product decision.

Principle 02

Honest about evidence

We cite published literature. We don't claim clearance we don't have or accuracy we haven't validated against real data.

Principle 03

Community-focused

We're not building for academic medical centers. Community hospitals are underserved by radiology AI. That's our market and our mission.

Join the team

We're hiring ML engineers and clinical partnerships leads. Angel-funded, mission-driven, Cambridge MA.
