10 Best Artificial Intelligence Companies to Watch 2020
The Silicon Review
Up to 90% of all artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms created are never put into operation. Imagine just how much data could otherwise be used to create valuable insights. Deep 6 AI disrupts the clinical trial enrollment process by transforming the way researchers identify eligible patients. Using artificial intelligence and natural language processing to mine structured and unstructured patient data, DEEP 6 AI finds more, better-matching patients for trials in minutes, not months. Deep 6 AI works with some of the most prominent health systems, pharma companies, and CROs in the world --making the DEEP 6 platform a crucial step in their clinical research workflow and greatly accelerating patients’ access to clinical trials. Deep 6 AI finds more patients for clinical trials in minutes rather than months, getting life-saving cures to people more quickly.
Deep 6 AI got its start by beating out some of the biggest names in analytics in a U.S. government-sponsored contest. This led to a contract with the U.S. intelligence community, which is perhaps the most complex data environment in the world. Since 2016, Deep 6 AI has focused exclusively on healthcare, participating in the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator Powered by Techstars, the Healthbox modified-accelerator program, and Stanford’s StartX Accelerator. Deep 6 AI was founded in 2015 and is based in Pasadena, CA. About 90% of all data in the world is unstructured, yet very few software tools know how to leverage the information it contains. Deep 6 AI builds applications that understand massive amounts of unstructured data at a very high speed and learn from users to single out the information that is most important to them. Deep 6 AI applies artificial intelligence and natural language processing to all clinical data to find eligible patients for clinical trials faster, accelerating recruitment exponentially and getting cures to the people who need them more quickly.
HOW IT WORKS
Deep 6 AI’s software analyzes structured data, such as ICD-10 codes, and unstructured clinical data, including doctor’s notes, pathology reports, operating notes and other important medical data in free-text form that cannot be searched easily. The software uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to extract tens of thousands of new clinical data points – symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, genomics, lifestyle data, and more – turning fragmented medical documents into unified patient graphs that contain all the information needed to match complex clinical trial criteria. Deep 6 AI’s software also identifies patients with conditions not explicitly mentioned in medical records. As a result, Deep 6 AI’s software finds more patients who better match trial criteria in a fraction of the time.

HOW DEEP 6 AI IS IMPACTING CLINICAL TRIALS
Software developed by Deep 6 AI, an AI-based trials recruitment company in Pasadena, California, was used by researchers at Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute in Los Angeles, California, to find 16 suitable participants for a trial in one hour. A conventional approach had turned up only two people in six months.
