ABOUT ATARAXIS AI Ataraxis is a clinical AI research lab working at the intersection of multi-modal AI and precision medicine. Our goal is to make disease predictable. To accomplish this, we develop new AI methods that predict patient outcomes and treatment response, and build clinical tools to assist physicians in selecting the most optimal treatments for their patients. Our AI research lab discovers and develops methods to recognize patterns and predict outcomes across complex, multi-modal clinical data. This spans our causality https://www.ataraxis.ai/research-causality (Ataraxis™ Tau), foundation model https://www.ataraxis.ai/research---representation-learning (Falcon and Kestrel for digital pathology), and survival analysis https://www.ataraxis.ai/research-survival-analysis research.
