Former ARPA-H Director's AI Startup Transfyr Focuses on Clinical Data

Laura Esserman, former ARPA-H director, launched Transfyr, a new AI startup aiming to tackle "dumb problems" in clinical data. Instead of building complex new AI models, Transfyr is cleaning up the messy, inconsistent data already in electronic health records (EHRs). Their goal is to make existing data usable for real-time insights and better care coordination, starting with cancer. This isn't about shiny new algorithms; it's about making the inputs to those algorithms actually make sense.
