We now manage investment syndicates.Our syndicates will support exceptional entrepreneurs with emerging or established SMEs, with growth potential and likely capital light models, working at the intersection of where healthcare meets technology. Our aim.. to bring about societal impact through improving access to radically better healthcare for every human being, by driving down the cost, increasing the efficiency and producing more aligned outcomes between stakeholders.The end point for our syndicate investments is to see improvement either by an order of magnitude, or more along every dimension in the provision of health services and products that are incredibly functional with both short communication lines and personal interactions but also reliable, convenient, and yes, inexpensive. Whilst doing so we aim to deliver substantial (and where possible tax-exempt) returns to investors and growth to both current business owners and the Australian economy. We want to support those tackling problems in mental health, disparate health data, supply chains, diagnostics, workflows, hospital and payer administration, in addition to many, many others. As early-stage investors we seek to invest in relentless problem solvers, and support them in growing scalable, sustainable businesses making a positive social impact. There is still a disconnect between the healthcare tools consumers are using, and current healthcare systems which have not engaged people digitally to meaningfully connect to them in a way that supports and enables achievement of their personal health goals. We will work with Investee Companies to take them to that all-important next stage, harnessingthe power of our capital, in applying our years of experience, expertise, operational and executional excellence to help shape their future, accelerate their growth.

LLM’s cannot do this, either consistently or with the level of precision necessary to avoid it becoming manual data science, thus incurring significant manual effort over many months or years, to get to where we are in just weeks or even days.Here’s a short summary of what makes Evidentli's solution unique:Evidentli’s Piano platform is the foundation of the Learning Health System, utilising our proprietary, healthcare specific AI & ML to transform data into clinical evidence, evidence into insights and insights into impact. Transforming data 100X faster than traditional methods, at a guaranteed greater than 99% precision we provide a scaled, rapid, high precision platform solution to create clinical evidence from even fragmented, unstructured healthcare data held in short form clinical notes. In doing so they are the able to continuously measure, analyse and evolve processes that produce better health care outcomes, at reduced cost, with improved patient safety. We also have a very unique federated analytics capability, beyond just meta data (approximations), meaning we can provide detailed patient level aggregated analytics from multiple, disparate data sources, without actually sharing the data. This unlocks the ethical/regulatory bottleneck that hinders progression. We have registered a patent that provides the protection for our ground breaking approach, setting us apart from the generic, often approximation techniques used by the competition. Show less
