What we do
The KI Research Institute launched in 2019 as an independent research center leading state-of-the-art computational health research with the vision to make a significant impact on human health.
Its core mission is focused on developing and applying innovative computational research methodologies to explore medical databases, advancing a better understanding of human health and promoting actionable steps to improve it.
Most of KI’s efforts focus on developing advanced computational tools to generate new insights from complex medical datasets and health records. This will bring invaluable data-driven knowledge of human disease, a deep understanding of treatment options, and provide support to researchers, physicians, and decision-makers. The Institute partners with healthcare providers to further educate and expand the use of computational health mthodologies to accelerate research and improve care.
The research infrastructure of KI comprises large medical databases, unique in-house research methodologies, and advanced computational methods for data structuring, processing, and analysis. Research projects are of a highly collaborative nature, bringing together multidisciplinary teams of experts in computer sciences, data sciences, and health sciences. KI cultivates a culture of creativity, open communication, rigorous exploration of data, and widespread sharing of research, knowledge, and discoveries.
KI functions as a non-profit, private, and independent institute of renowned researchers and domain experts, performing academic research of the highest standards at an accelerated pace.
It collaborates with leading academic institutions and medical centers around the globe to achieve its goal of advancing health everywhere and improving patient outcomes and the public’s well-being.
