Bitfount is a federated AI and data science platform for life sciences and clinical research that connects trial sponsors, CROs, clinics, hospitals, and AI developers to improve trial success rates and reduce time to market by deploying and developing AI and analytics algorithms without any data uploads or data sharing. The platform enables algorithms to run wherever data lives, behind each organization's firewall, preserving data privacy and sovereignty while enabling cross-silo collaboration. Bitfount supports the full clinical research lifecycle: patient recruitment by analyzing imaging and EHR data against trial eligibility criteria with cutting-edge AI models and no data extraction to third parties; site feasibility with detailed, customizable reports based on behind-the-firewall AI analysis of patient populations; scalable and secure health data exchange that automatically retrieves and standardizes imaging and EHR data from source with full traceability and regulatory compliance; and federated AI development and evaluation allowing users to train, fine-tune, validate, and deploy any kind of AI model safely at scale on distributed datasets. The platform supports use cases including protocol design, real-world data and post-market surveillance, biomedical research, trusted research environments, and data consortia and partnerships. Bitfount offers a no-code desktop app, an open-source Python SDK, and AWS marketplace deployment, connecting to imaging formats like Nifti, EHR data sources, and model frameworks with Hugging Face integration. The platform features zero-trust architecture, end-to-end encryption, granular access controls, full audit trails, no open incoming firewall ports, ISO 27001 accreditation, and built-in privacy-enhancing technologies. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Bitfount has raised $13M in Series A funding from investors including Ahren, Speedinvest, Parkwalk, Pace Ventures, Foresight Group, Portfolio Ventures, and Bluejay Holdings.
