Solutions

Clinical Research Accelerator

Enable secure, compliant research at scale with governed access to multimodal medical datasets. Standardized workflows, de-identified patient data pipelines, and automated compliance monitoring help research teams collaborate across institutions while protecting privacy.

Data Integration Platform

Connect fragmented healthcare systems - EHRs, labs, imaging, wearables, and claims - through secure, FHIR-compliant integrations. Standardized APIs and real-time data pipelines create unified, governed views of patient and operational data, enabling cross-system collaboration and powering advanced analytics.

What Technical Leaders Ask Us

How will Upside integrate with our existing clinical systems (EHR, lab, imaging, etc.)?

We design FHIR-compliant APIs and secure data pipelines to connect EHRs, lab systems, imaging platforms, and wearables. Our engineers ensure seamless interoperability without disrupting ongoing operations.

Can your solutions meet strict compliance and regulatory standards (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, etc.)?

Yes. Every system we build is designed with compliance-by-default. We embed governance, auditability, and data privacy controls into the architecture from day one.

How do you validate the accuracy and safety of AI systems in clinical or research use?

We apply rigorous validation frameworks: bias testing, clinical-grade benchmarking, audit trails, and continuous monitoring to ensure AI outputs are safe, explainable, and reliable.

How do you handle sensitive patient data and ensure security?

We use de-identification, encryption in transit and at rest, and role-based access controls. Sensitive data never leaves secure environments, and we align with institutional and national security requirements.

Can your systems scale across multiple sites, regions, or research institutions?

Yes. We architect solutions for distributed deployments, enabling cross-institution collaboration, federated data access, and expansion across geographies without compromising compliance.

What is your experience in healthcare and life sciences?

We’ve delivered solutions for universities, research consortia, and healthcare providers, including secure research data platforms, integrated patient data solutions, and AI-driven clinical applications.

How quickly can we see results?

We offer a 9-week Proof of Concept (PoC) model — tightly scoped to demonstrate feasibility, regulatory alignment, and measurable outcomes before scaling to enterprise deployment.
