Clear evidence from publications, patents and research funding, for better health decisions.
Science intelligence for health
Let science data speak.
We read the scientific record (publications, patents and research funding) and turn it into clear answers. So you can decide where to invest, who to work with, and what is still missing.
Who we help
The same evidence, three kinds of decisions
Every project starts from one question you need answered. We bring the data, the method and the reading of a scientist.
01
Funders and institutions
Understand a research field before you fund it, and see who is left out.
- Research evaluation
- Equity and leadership analysis
- Evidence for priority setting
02
Biotech and investors
See who is inventing what, where the space is crowded, and where it is open.
- Patent landscapes
- Research and competitor mapping
- Partner and talent scouting
03
Researchers and students
Find and screen the literature faster, with methods you can trust and repeat.
- Evidence synthesis support
- AI-assisted screening, validated
- Hands-on workshops
How we work
From a question to an answer you can use
Step 1
Define the question
We agree on what you need to decide, and what a good answer looks like.
Step 2
Gather the data
Publications, patents, grants and trials, from open and trusted sources.
Step 3
Screen and check
AI helps sort the records; people check the results against a hand-labelled sample.
Step 4
Deliver clear answers
A short report, charts and, when useful, an interactive dashboard.
Selected work
Evidence in practice
The global patent landscape of phage therapy
A map of who patents phage therapies, where, and how the field is changing, built with machine learning and large patent datasets.
Immune checkpoint therapy: patent intelligence
Who invents, who files, and where new innovation hubs are growing, with an interactive dashboard for exploring the results.
Who studies ticks, and who leads the work?
A study of tick and tick-borne disease research worldwide, with a focus on Africa: who produces the research, who leads it, and who funds it.
Workshop · Thursday, January 28, 2027
Map a Research Field in 3 Hours
A live, hands-on online session. You leave with a cleaned, AI-screened set of papers on your own topic, and the skills to do it again.
What you will learn
- Search OpenAlex for your topic
- Clean the data: duplicates and gaps
- Screen titles and abstracts with two AI models
- Check the AI against a small hand-labelled sample
- Make your first charts
