Healthcare collaboration without compromising data privacy

There is enormous value in healthcare data, but it is fragmented across institutions and is too sensitive to share freely. Onai enables data collaboration without data exposure.

The problem

Healthcare data is one of the most powerful resources for improving outcomes, discovering treatments, and advancing research

But it is also one of the most constrained.

Data is siloed across hospitals, research institutions, and organisations. Using it together typically requires centralisation, moving sensitive data into shared environments, navigating legal overhead, and accepting significant privacy and security risks.

As a result, many important questions are never answered, and many potential insights remain out of reach.

Data is fragmented

Healthcare information is split across institutions, which makes broad analysis and collaboration difficult by default.

Centralisation creates overhead

Pooling data typically means legal complexity, operational friction, security challenges, and long delays before useful work can even begin.

Privacy creates false trade-offs

Organisations should not have to choose between keeping data private and unlocking its value.

Our approach

Use all healthcare data without exposing it

Onai enables computation across distributed datasets while keeping the underlying data private and under the control of its owner.

Instead of moving data into a central location, data remains within each institution; queries, models, and computations are executed securely across sites; and results are aggregated without revealing raw data.

This allows organisations to collaborate as if their data were unified without ever centralising it.

Data remains local

Each institution keeps custody and control of its underlying healthcare data.

Computation runs across sites

Queries, models, and analysis workflows execute securely across parties.

Ensures security through cryptography

Sensitive data is never exposed to any participant or any third party.

What this enables

Unleash AI without sacrificing privacy

Multi-site data analytics

Run analyses across multiple institutions as if working on a single dataset without moving or exposing underlying data.

Multi-site model training

Train machine-learning models on distributed datasets, improving performance and generalisation while preserving privacy.

Secure inference with external models

Use models from third parties without exposing sensitive data, or deploy models across institutions without revealing the model itself.

Case study

Cross-institution analytics without data sharing

A group of institutions wants to understand patient outcomes across populations, but cannot pool their data because of privacy, regulatory, and operational constraints.

Using Onai's approach, each institution keeps its data locally while participating in a shared computation. Queries are executed across parties, and only aggregated results are returned.

The outcome is equivalent to centralised analysis without any institution relinquishing control of its data.

Who this is for

Built for organisations that need healthcare data to work together

01

Researchers

Collaborate across institutions, access larger effective datasets, and run analyses that would otherwise be infeasible without navigating complex data-sharing agreements.

02

Health systems

Participate in a broader ecosystem where data can be used securely across organisations, enabling new forms of value, insight generation, and data-driven marketplaces.

Bring all healthcare data into play securely

Onai is building the infrastructure that allows healthcare data to be used collectively, without compromising privacy or control.
