About Altis Labs

Altis Labs is the computational imaging company accelerating clinical trials with AI. We are on a mission to help get the most effective novel treatments to patients sooner. Simplistic imaging interpretation methods like RECIST 1.1 are known to often over- and underestimate efficacy in clinical trials, resulting in failure-prone drug development.

Top 20 biopharma sponsors like AstraZeneca and Bayer Pharmaceuticals use our AI models trained on the industry's largest cancer imaging database to measure treatment effect with greater confidence. Our fully-automated AI models predict overall survival differences from longitudinal CT scans so that sponsors can optimize trial design and accelerate development of their most promising drugs.

Founded in 2019, Altis is a venture-backed AI company headquartered in Toronto. We are actively growing our team in Canada and the US across functional areas.
