Making
My Impact
Ten years ago, I decided to be a 100% impact investor, putting my resources, time, and skills to work for only those activities that help people and humanity.

He founded KI in 2019 as an independent, self-funded, non-profit organization. KI focuses on big data academic research in the field of computational health, mainly analyzing electronic health record (EHR) data.
Before founding KI Research Institute, Nir worked as a researcher and as an algorithm developer in diverse research industries and founded several companies. He founded the algo-trading company Final in 2001. Eight years later, he founded Medial Research, which performed medical research on large databases, leading to personalized medicine. In 2013, he founded Medial EarlySign where he developed machine learning-based decision support tools, exposing a hidden layer of information in standard medical data. These new insights enable personal and outcome-based interpretation of medical data, yielding individualized predictions and treatment options as well as early prediction of life-threatening conditions.
