Flagship platform / VFusion™ Semantic Enrichment Engine

VFusion™

A domain-agnostic AI engine that lets subject-matter experts encode expertise as computable rules, then pairs it with machine learning and NLP to enrich raw data streams, surface rule-based conclusions, and predict outcomes. In active development for early warning of sepsis in critical care, and trialed with a wearable monitor to detect asymptomatic infection.
