About Us - Gradient Health

What we do

Gradient Health’s mission is to create a more equitable future for healthcare by making diverse and organized medical data instantly available for research.

Gradient provides instant access to millions of de-identified medical imaging studies across modalities, paired with rich metadata. By removing barriers to sourcing data, we help:

AI developers train and validate models at scale, reduce bias, and get to market faster.
Data partners unlock the value of their data while keeping patient privacy, representation, and compliance front and center.

Why it matters

Most AI models today are trained on narrow datasets from a handful of academic hospitals. That leaves entire patient populations underrepresented and limits clinical impact. Gradient changes that by connecting developers with imaging data that better reflects the real world, patients from community hospitals, rural clinics, and diverse care settings. When AI is trained on data that looks like humanity, it performs better, saves more lives, and builds trust in the technology.

Our Story

Gradient Health was founded on the belief that data bottlenecks were holding back progress in medical AI. Developers were spending more time negotiating access than building models, while hospitals struggled with the administrative load of sharing data.

We built Atlas, a platform designed to solve both sides of the problem: fast, transparent, and compliant access for developers, and a simple, revenue-sharing model for data partners. Today, Gradient works with healthcare systems, AI companies, and researchers worldwide to unlock data that powers progress.
