LAB-TO-MARKET · Healthcare Data AX

Turn hospital documents into data assets

Born from multi-institution research, MediPipe structures hospital documents in two seconds. Recent paid validation at Konyang University Hospital generated our first revenue.

MediPipe is our focus today. DeepBreath continues in parallel with clinical and regulatory preparation.

Where hospital AX begins

Before AI, data is the bottleneck

The workflow bottleneck

Pulmonary-test results still accumulate as paper and PDF. Clinical staff enter them manually. EMR, research and AI need structured data.

01

Repeated manual work

Each result takes about three minutes to enter. More tests mean more repetitive work and input risk.

02

Generic OCR falls short

Medical abbreviations, tables, units and reference values require context. Generic OCR falls short of hospital-grade quality.

03

Data that cannot be used

Results trapped in documents cannot support EMR, research or analytics. Hospital AX begins with data transformation.

MediPipe

Practical AX for medical documents

Multi-institution research validated the technology. Recent paid validation moved it into commercialization.

  1. 01

    Collect documents

    Bring in pulmonary-test results stored as paper or PDF.

  2. 02

    Recognize and validate

    OCR and medical NLP identify and validate values, units and table structures.

  3. 03

    Connect workflows

    Standardized data flows directly into EMR, research and medical AI.

MediPipe data-powered SaMD Long-term pipeline · development and regulatory prep

DeepBreath CDSS

MediPipe data powers five-year deterioration prediction. Clinical and regulatory validation will proceed in stages.

  • Predicts a 5-year deterioration trajectory
  • Automatic Red / Orange / Green triage
  • 4× faster reading
Business and technical validation

Proven in research, validated in revenue

Publications validated the technology. Hospital work confirmed cost savings and willingness to pay.

Why MediPipe

Three reasons research becomes product

01

Medical-domain cleansing

MediPipe structures pulmonary values, units, tables and clinical context. The product reflects experience cleansing a 30-year, 1M-record cohort.

02

Field commercialization

Multi-institution research validated the technology. Recent Konyang University Hospital validation generated our first revenue.

03

An expansion path to AI

MediPipe turns documents into data assets. The same flow extends to EMR, research and DeepBreath.
