Pioneering Digital Medicine

Cancer Genomics & XAI

We leverage deep learning and tree-based models to classify cancer subtypes with high precision. Our research emphasizes explainability (XAI) using SHAP and LIME to ensure clinical trust and grounding in molecular evidence.

Clinical Decision Support

Building real-time monitoring and diagnostic tools for cardiovascular health and stroke prevention. Our systems integrate multi-modal data to provide actionable insights for clinicians in acute care settings.
