THE ORIGIN

Healthcare has a million analytic solutions and no connective tissue between them. Models are built, deployed, and left to drift. Clinicians are handed predictions they cannot interpret. Security teams have no idea what AI is running on their networks. Dr. Parsa Mirhaji spent thirty years building the answer.

Born in Iran, Dr. Mirhaji was the first person to bring an internet connection to the country — and fled as the regime changed. Before leaving, he built Iran's first electronic health record system. It was over 25 years ago. It is still in use today. That is the standard he holds his work to.

At the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System in New York, Dr. Mirhaji built the foundational technology that would become Cognome — not as a product, but as a necessity. The clinical problems were real, the patients were real, and the stakes were real. The platform was forged in that environment, under those pressures, with those constraints.

By the time James Green discovered what Dr. Mirhaji had built, there were 10 issued patents, over $100M in R&D investment, and a platform deployed across more than 20 hospitals. James had scaled companies from zero to hundreds of millions in revenue. He recognised immediately what he was looking at.

Cognome was founded to bring that vision to the market it was built for. Not as a proof of concept. Not as a research prototype. As a production-grade platform that health system leaders can stake their careers and their patients' safety on.
