Atropos Health

We’re Building the Future of Evidence-Based Medicine. It’s Time for Every Clinical Decision and Research Inquiry to Be Backed By Personalized Evidence.

Company History

Beginning as a research project at Stanford Medicine in 2011, the “Green Button” concept aimed to answer the question: What if pressing a virtual button could trigger a search of millions of similar, anonymised electronic records to instantly aggregate data to inform patient care?

The concept grew into the IRB-approved research project called the Clinical Informatics Consult Service, with a proof of concept built at Stanford Health Care. Upon the successful completion of the pilot, Saurabh Gombar, Nigam Shah, and Brigham Hyde founded Atropos Health in late 2020 to democratize access to real-world evidence.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide personalized real-world evidence for every clinical decision and research inquiry.

  • “The promise of learning from the care of past patients is a concept that has been discussed for a generation now. Atropos Health uses a combination of technology, data, and a physician-centered service to fulfill the promise of data-driven medicine for individual patients.”

    Nigam Shah PhD MBBS | Chief Data Scientist at Stanford Health Care and Cofounder of Atropos Health

  • “There is something in medicine called the evidence gap. If you look at clinical trials over the last few decades, about 80% of them will not include patients who have multiple comorbidities, or who are from groups routinely understudied. We are trying to solve this healthcare inequity by making it possible to personalize evidence for patients like these.”

    Saurabh Gombar, MD PhD | Chief Medical Officer of Atropos Health

  • “This pioneering technology can find answers locked in patient data and research that may not reach mainstream care for years. Atropos dramatically speeds up the process, saving the lives of patients who need critical care."
