Nightingale Open Science - Open data for healthcare AI research
Description: Nightingale democratizes large deidentified medical data sets on a cloud platform for healthcare AI research and education worldwide. We work closely with health systems around the world to create and curate datasets of medical images linked to ground-truth labels. We focus on datasets that will help researchers make breakthroughs for unsolved medical problems using machine learning.
Every year thousands visit their doctor for annual physicals and are told they are fine. But they’re not fine: 300,000 Americans are a ticking time bomb and will die from sudden cardiac death with no prior warning. What if we could detect signals that gave us clues about who is at risk?

What if we could tell who was at risk?
