Who we are

Driven by the mission to unlock the potential of medical data, faster

While Emiri, CEO and Co-founder, was writing her Masters thesis in Pharmaceutical Sciences at ETH Zurich, she encountered disorganized medical data that took over six months to work with.

She realized that research could be conducted more quickly if medical data could be easily obtained from the real world in a clean format. Thus, Yuimedi was launched to create a world in which medical research using data can flourish.

Improving patient outcomes is at the core of everything we do

Vision

To free all data professionals in the medical field from having to do any manual or repetitive processes and to be a co-pilot in their analysis and decision-making processes

Mission

Help unlock the usage of valuable medical data to enable medical research to flourish, reduce drug development cycle times, and improve our ability to discover and help patients.
