Welcome (Machine) Learning Health Systems!

Dear friend,

Cognome was formed in order to bring the work of Dr. Parsa Mirhaji, a leading figure in the field of health data innovation and Artificial Intelligence, to the world. Parsa along with his team of data scientists, AI & ML developers and clinical practitioners began their work at the University of Texas 15 years ago. They deployed their first Machine Learning model in 2018, in partnership with Intel, and continue their work today at Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein School of Medicine, an $8B academic healthcare system based in New York City.

Cognome is a unique "AI startup". Though we formally launched the company in May of 2024 we came out of the gate with a suite of solutions validated across 20+ hospitals, outcomes that are peer-reviewed and published, and technology that is patented (7 current, 4 pending).

We are, and will always be, fervently mission-aligned and results-driven. The transformative outcomes Parsa and his team have achieved, primarily through Machine Learning models, in large and diverse healthcare delivery and research settings over the last decade compelled us to form Cognome so we could share their work with the greater community of healthcare innovators. We aim to revolutionize the way healthcare data is used to transform care delivery and medical research. 

Cognome's ML models and ensemble of LLMs are purpose built for advanced clinical decision support, precision medicine and reimbursement optimization. Our models address workflows throughout the care delivery continuum from in-patient to outpatient, ambulatory settings and health system operations. The Models and LLMs are self-contained, ready for deployment and integrate with leading EHRs and other data sources.

But Cognome is more than just ML models; we have an entire ecosystem that connects the thousands of point solutions in healthcare providing a cohesive view of everything that makes you you. We have built a first of its kind Business Intelligence and AI Governance platform, ExplainerAI^TM, which can manage a portfolio of enterprise-wide ML models. We have built a Clinical Research platform designed to innovate the way health systems and life sciences companies collaborate on Clinical Trials and manage IRBs. Ultimately, our ecosystem creates an environment for clinical innovation by enriching your hospital’s healthcare data.

Or in Parsa’s words: Cognome is a framework to build a continuously Learning Healthcare System. You can read my blog on the maturity model framework we have created so your health system can become a (Machine) Learning Health System.

• Analytics and insights from AI/ML & analytic solutions
• Multimodal data from clinical systems (phenotype & genotype)
• Environmental, behavioral, social & economic determinants & individual preferences 
• Conversations & interactions with providers of healthcare
  

All of which is discoverable, interoperable, and computationally understandable.

And of course Cognome is optimized for HIPAA compliance & cybersecurity requirements of a network of federated healthcare systems.

If you interested in cutting edge healthcare innovation and this sounds intriguing to you, please reach out, or just enter your information for our mailing list if you want to stay updated on our progress. There is more information on our website about our solutions as well as valuable resources for the healthcare AI, ML and analytics community. 

Our doors are now open for business. Let’s revolutionize healthcare together!
