The infrastructure that makes hospitals’ clinical data usable for medical research, while fully safeguarding patient privacy.
Agora Labs is an Italian deep tech company that connects hospitals with research players and pharma companies through an infrastructure based on a clear principle: clinical data never leaves the hospital. A dedicated on-premise computing node, is installed at each facility in the network, where specialised LLMs structure and standardise the data and irreversible mathematical anonymisation processes protect it. Through federated AI, research centres and pharmaceutical companies can conduct multicentre studies on large international populations, from clinical studies to diagnostic and prevention models. The company operates through an international network of healthcare facilities, from Harvard Medical School to San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.
Agora Labs contributes primarily to SDG 9 by developing a digital infrastructure for sharing healthcare data, which accelerates biomedical innovation and the use of clinical data for research and observational studies. It also contributes to SDG 10 by building more representative healthcare datasets and reducing bias in medical AI, and to SDG 8 by supporting the growth of Italian SMEs specialising in AI for healthcare and the improvement of working conditions.
