Founded in 2018, the company has a mission to empower the world's communities to advance healthcare through technology.

The healthcare industry has been plagued by data silos and a lack of standardisation. Evidentli aims to solve these problems by providing a platform that standardises complex healthcare data and text with over 99% reliability in days, not months. With Evidentli's technology, doctors, nurses, researchers, and healthcare managers can quickly and accurately mine knowledge from real-world patient data. The company's offerings include AI-powered data automation that cleanses, federates, and standardises data, as well as research automation tools that group, screen, compare, and summarise data to generate live evidence for clinicians, policymakers, and others.
