Built for healthcare innovation

Unify patient records, sensor streams, diagnostic models, and regulatory reporting into one scalable, secure platform - deployed anywhere.

CAPABILITIES

Built with granular security, by default

Memory-safe, security-first language

Built in Rust to protect PHI and meet stringent regulatory demands such as GDPR. Ships effortlessly to browsers (WASM), wearables, and bedside IoT gateways.

Runs everywhere - embedded, in-browser, on the edge

Keep latency-sensitive AI inference close to the patient. Perfect for rural telehealth kits that store data locally and sync when connectivity returns.

Unified OLTP / BaaS architecture

Real-time ingest and API server in one component. Mobile nursing apps can write vitals, schedule medication, and trigger AI triage rules through the same endpoint.

Native vector search + knowledge graph

Store embeddings alongside structured patient data with graphs capturing complex biomedical relationships for generative AI clinical co-pilots.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Find similar patient cases with vector search

Combine structured EHR data with vector similarity to surface relevant diagnoses and treatment pathways.

1-- Find patients with similar symptom profiles
2-- using vector embeddings from clinical notes
3LET $embedding = SELECT VALUE embedding FROM ONLY patient:current;
4
5SELECT
6 id, name, diagnosis,
7 vector::similarity::cosine($embedding, embedding) AS similarity
8FROM patient
9WHERE similarity > 0.85
10ORDER BY similarity DESC
11LIMIT 5;

USE CASES

Core use cases for healthcare

Precision medicine and clinical decision support

Fuse vector search with longitudinal EHR, genomics, and imaging data to surface differential diagnoses and personalised care pathways.

Edge-ready medical telemetry and IoT

Rust-built binaries run embedded or in-browser (WASM) so bedside monitors and wearables can ingest time-series vitals locally.

AI-enhanced imaging and diagnostics

Store embeddings for X-ray, CT or pathology slides alongside metadata. Native vector index retrieves visually similar cases.

Patient-facing chatbots

Knowledge graphs pull lab results, appointments, and literature into a single semantic layer for clinically grounded conversational agents.

Fraud detection and billing integrity

Embedded graph analytics traverse provider-patient-procedure networks in real time, flagging anomalous claim patterns.

Continuous remote monitoring

High-frequency sensor streams feed the time-series engine; anomaly detectors alert clinicians to arrhythmias or sepsis risk in sub-second latency.
