How we help data partners.

Generate a sustainable revenue stream when your data is used for a project, providing recurring, new revenue for research and patient care.
Ensure your patient population is fairly represented in the datasets used to train new technologies, helping to combat algorithmic bias.
Partner with a trusted platform that makes data sharing easy, secure, and standardized.

Our approach to security.

Patient privacy is our highest priority. We have industry-leading security standards, and all data usage is reviewed to ensure ethical usage and patient benefit. By the time data reaches our developer-accessible databases, it has undergone multiple layers of checks to ensure all identifiable patient data is removed, including from metadata.

Standards-compliant

Our metadata redaction practices adhere to “DICOM PS3.15 2023a - Security and System Management Profiles”.

Best-in-class de-identification

All data is de-identified using our best-in-class de-identification software.

Pixel-level protection

Every image is scanned pixel by pixel for potential Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and redacted.

Our ethics policy

We are committed to:

Advancing research

Socially beneficial to the world at large, with a focus on supporting research communities.

Reducing bias

Representative of humanity’s diversity, mitigating biases in medicine.

Protecting privacy

Built and tested to the highest levels of security that protect patient privacy.

Impact comes first

Better data helps create better healthcare outcomes.

Financial rewards for data partners, in action.

Data partners receive a revenue share, every time their data is used by our AI developer customers.
1

Customer deal secured

Gradient closes a $3M deal for 10M exams
2

Data contribution identified

One data partner provided 4M of these
3

Revenue share distributed

That data partner receives $240k from this one deal
Calculation
$3M (total deal size)
x 40% (share of studies)
x 20% (typical revenue share for data partners)
= $240k

Earn from future usage

All future use of the same data would generate additional revenue for the data partner.

 Data partner FAQs

What is a Gradient Health data partner?

A Gradient Health data partner is a healthcare organization, imaging provider, health system, or data owner that works with Gradient to make deidentified medical data available for responsible AI development.

Who can become a Gradient Health data partner?

Gradient works with organizations that hold valuable medical imaging, EHR, or multimodal clinical data. This may include hospitals, health systems, outpatient imaging centers, research organizations, specialty care providers, and other healthcare data owners.

What types of data does Gradient Health work with?

Gradient works with medical imaging data, EHR data, pathology reports, clinical records, and multimodal medical data. This may include radiology exams, longitudinal patient-level records, imaging metadata, and other clinical information where available and appropriate.

Why do healthcare organizations partner with Gradient Health?

Healthcare organizations partner with Gradient to generate value from deidentified medical data, support the development of better medical AI, and contribute to more representative datasets. Gradient helps reduce the operational, technical, and commercial burden of making data useful for AI development.

How does Gradient Health protect patient privacy?

Patient privacy is central to the data partner model. Gradient uses deidentification, security controls, and data governance processes designed to protect patient information before data is made available for AI development.

Is data deidentified before it is used by AI developers?

Yes. Data is deidentified before it is made available to AI developers. Gradient’s process is designed to remove all patient-identifiable information while preserving the clinical value needed for responsible AI development.

Can data partners provide imaging and EHR data?

Yes. Gradient can work with partners that provide imaging data or multimodal data, including EHR datasets that combine imaging with clinical context. This is increasingly important for AI teams building models that need more than single images or isolated records.

Can Gradient support longitudinal medical data?

Yes. Gradient can support deidentified longitudinal datasets where data is organized around a patient journey over time. This may include multiple exams, reports, records, diagnoses, or clinical events linked to the same deidentified patient.

What is multimodal medical data?

Multimodal medical data combines different types of healthcare information, such as imaging, EHR data, reports, claims, or other clinical records. For AI developers, multimodal data can provide richer clinical context than a single source.

How does Gradient Health use data from partners?

Gradient helps curate, structure, and make deidentified partner data available to AI developers for approved use cases such as AI training, testing, validation, foundation model development, and regulatory evidence generation.

Do data partners need to change their existing clinical workflows?

Gradient aims to minimize the operational burden on data partners. The process is designed around existing systems and workflows, with Gradient supporting the technical, governance, and operational steps needed to make data usable.

What are the commercial benefits for data partners?

Data partners can create a new revenue opportunity from deidentified data while supporting the development of better and more representative medical AI. The details of their revenue share will depend on the type, scale, and usability of the data available.

How does Gradient Health support responsible AI development?

Gradient supports responsible AI development by helping AI teams access diverse, representative, deidentified medical datasets. By partnering with healthcare organizations, Gradient helps reduce reliance on narrow or unrepresentative datasets that can limit model performance and generalizability.

What makes a strong data partner?

A strong data partner typically has meaningful data volume, clear data governance, relevant clinical data, and an interest in supporting responsible medical AI development. Partners with longitudinal, multimodal, or diverse datasets are especially valuable.

How long does it take to become a data partner?

Timelines depend on the partner organization, data systems, governance requirements, contracting, and technical setup. Gradient should be able to assess fit and outline next steps after an initial conversation.

How do I become a Gradient Health data partner?

Healthcare organizations and data owners can complete the data partner inquiry form or contact Gradient Health to discuss their data, goals, and partnership options.

How it works

Share

Share your medical data from your EHR, PACS, or RIS with us. Partners often accomplish this by provisioning access to their cloud instance.

De-identify

Your data is securely transferred and de-identified by our team in our cloud. Any remaining protected health information is removed.

Ethics review

Our Ethics Board reviews research projects. If an approved project requires the type of data that your organization has shared, your data may be selected for that project.

Revenue share

When your organization’s data is used for a project, your organization will receive a share of revenue from the project.

Final checks

An additional layer of inspection takes place before your data is shared with the end customer.
