Segmed

Segmed is a cloud-based real-world imaging platform that simplifies access to medical data for healthcare innovation. The company provides a vast repository of diagnostic-grade medical images and clinical data to accelerate research and development in the life sciences and technology industries. Through its self-serve platform, Segmed Insight, researchers and AI developers can search, view, and construct customized datasets from millions of medical imaging studies. The platform allows users to receive data within days, significantly reducing the time traditionally required for data sourcing.

Segmed's technology focuses on aggregating diverse medical data from healthcare systems, hospitals, and imaging clinics across 1,000 locations on five continents. As of August 2023, the company's network exceeded 100 million imaging studies, representing over 40 US states and 15 countries. Segmed employs proprietary algorithms to standardize and de-identify data, ensuring strict compliance with HIPAA and GDPR regulations. The company also maintains SOC2 attestation and achieved ISO 27001 certification in July 2023, further demonstrating its commitment to data security and privacy.

In April 2023, Segmed expanded its offerings to include synthetic medical imaging data through partnerships with NVIDIA and RadImageNet. This synthetic data covers various modalities such as CT, MRI, ultrasound, and endoscopic surgery, with over 160 pathologic classifications. The addition of synthetic data aims to enhance the robustness and adaptability of AI algorithms while maintaining patient privacy. Segmed also collaborates with Datavant to link imaging data with other data types, enriching the real-world imaging data available on its platform.
