Unlocking MS Insights: Century Health and Nira Medical Partner to Transform Patient Data into Actionable Research
Century Health accelerates drug development and commercialization by applying cutting edge LLMs to messy longitudinal clinical data.
Century Health, an AI-powered real-world evidence platform, has partnered with Nira Medical, a neurology-focused medical practice, to revolutionize multiple sclerosis (MS) research and care. By structuring and curating data from over 3,000 MS patients within Nira Medical’s network, this collaboration aims to advance treatment development and improve patient outcomes.
Transforming MS Research with AI
Multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological condition where the immune system attacks the central nervous system, affects 2.8 million people globally. Despite its prevalence, gaps in understanding and treatment persist, partly due to the unstructured nature of electronic health records (EHRs). This partnership addresses those challenges.
Century Health’s HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2-certified AI platform will transform retrospective and prospective EHR data into structured datasets. These datasets will include insights on disease subtype, treatment history, progression, and relapse rates, supporting both improved patient care and advanced research by life sciences companies.
Unlocking Neurology’s Complexity
Neurological care often relies on detailed, unstructured clinical documentation that doesn’t fit neatly into EHR templates, making data extraction difficult.
“AI and machine learning are essential to extract meaningful data from neurology records,” said Dr. John Foley, Medical Director of Clinical Affairs at Nira Medical. “By aggregating data effectively, we can better follow the patient journey and improve care.”
This collaboration leverages AI to unlock the rich insights hidden within patient records, creating a clearer picture of MS progression and treatment efficacy.
Accelerating Research and Treatment Development
The structured datasets created by Century Health’s platform will help life sciences companies explore new treatment pathways and answer complex research questions. With a large patient population and diverse therapies available within Nira Medical’s network, this partnership offers a robust foundation for accelerating drug development and expanding patient access to innovative treatments.
“By partnering with forward-thinking providers like Nira Medical, we’re unlocking life-changing research and therapies,” said Vish Srivastava, co-founder and CEO of Century Health. “Our vision is to revolutionize how clinical data powers innovation in healthcare.”
A Broader Trend in AI-Powered Healthcare
This partnership reflects a growing trend of leveraging AI and machine learning to address challenges in healthcare. Since its launch in 2024 with $2 million in pre-seed funding led by 2048 Ventures, Century Health has focused on transforming siloed clinical data into actionable insights. For MS, where prevalence continues to rise—particularly among women, who are twice as likely to develop the condition—data-driven approaches are critical.
Conclusion: A New Era in MS Care
By combining Century Health’s AI capabilities with Nira Medical’s clinical expertise, this partnership offers a powerful solution to improve MS research and care. The structured datasets enable clinicians and researchers to better understand disease progression and treatment outcomes, ultimately paving the way for more effective therapies.
As healthcare increasingly adopts AI to tackle complex challenges, collaborations like this demonstrate the potential to drive innovation, improve care, and make a tangible difference for patients worldwide.
