Secure AI Labs (SAIL) operates a next-generation clinical data registry that enables patient advocacy groups to connect clinical researchers with larger, more representative clinical datasets. Its turnkey platform uses novel federated analytics to run researchers' statistical queries across 100+ hospitals without exposing hospital data or discrete patient elements, preserving multi-direction confidentiality and end-to-end encryption. The product is designed to reduce bias in clinical research by including rare subtypes, minorities, and other underrepresented groups and by enabling collaboration across disparate hospital data sources. Early partners include the Kidney Cancer Association, which uses SAIL's federated learning platform for its Kidney Cancer Data Federation to address privacy, volume, and cost barriers. SAIL positions patient advocacy groups to attract mission-aligned funding without building ad-hoc registries themselves. Financially, SAIL announced a $4.7 million Seed round and has raised $9 million to date.
