Choosing the right modality

Yourchoice depends on your use case. AI developers training diagnostic algorithmstypically need large volumes of a single modality. Life sciences researchersbuilding real-world evidence studies may need multi-modal datasets spanning apatient’s longitudinal care journey. If you’re unsure, reach out to our team.
