Our Mission

Accelerate and improve clinical research through the power of artificial intelligence.

Not as a demo, and not as a slide. Clinical research runs on evidence that has to hold up when a regulator, a reviewer, or a medical monitor asks how a number was produced — so everything we build carries its sources, its reasoning, and its audit trail with it.

How we got here

Two decades

Out of an AI research lab at UIUC

Keiji AI came out of an AI research lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Long before it was a category, the team was building machine learning for health data — the research foundation the platform still rests on, published in Nature, Nature BME, Nature Communications, and top AI venues.

From 2020

Leading clinical trial AI at IQVIA and Medidata

We led AI research for clinical trials inside two of the industry's largest platforms, and learned how trials are actually designed, run, monitored, and reported — and where AI genuinely helps rather than merely demos well.

2023

Regulatory-grade agents, and Keiji AI

General-purpose models could already write code and summarise papers. What did not exist was output a regulated team could defend. We founded Keiji AI to build agents for clinical research that carry citations, traceable logic, and an audit trail by design.

Today

Deployed, and still learning

TrialMind is in production with enterprise pharma, biotech, CROs, and academic medical centres. Every deployment teaches us something about the complexity of clinical work that no benchmark captures, and that goes straight back into the product.
