In 2020, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Center for Digital Health Innovation (CDHI), Fortanix, Intel, and Microsoft Azure formed a collaboration to create a privacy-preserving confidential computing platform to accelerate clinical algorithm development and validation.
The work, which has since been spun out into a startup called BeeKeeperAI, aimed to provide a zero-trust environment within the platform to protect the privacy of healthcare data and the intellectual property (IP) of the algorithm being developed. The platform would also allow stakeholders to streamline workflows by enabling data access and transformation in a collaborative, secure environment.
We congratulate Michael Blum, PhD, whose research and discoveries were foundational to BeeKeeper AI, the company he launched and serves as CEO.
