Data & AI consultancy for life sciences and healthcare.

Research, clinical and operational data decisions you can trust. Pharma and life sciences organisations, hospitals and healthcare providers, and the health-tech teams building.

The challenge

Can you use your data safely? And is it in one place?

Research systems, electronic health records, lab data and operational platforms each hold a piece of the picture. For life sciences and healthcare organisations that data sits across many systems, under some of the strictest privacy and governance rules of any sector. It is hard to combine safely, slow to approve for use, and easy to leave sitting unused rather than risk getting it wrong.

Good governance is not a barrier to using research and health data. It is what makes using it possible at all.

One expert data team, and the governed data platform it builds

You do not need to build and manage a full data department to run on trusted, well-governed data. i-spark gives you a complete team and the platform it runs on, in one flexible engagement.

Data-Team-as-a-Service

A multidisciplinary squad covering architecture, engineering, analytics and strategy, for the cost of a single interim hire. We scale up or down as your calendar and campaigns demand, with no rigid commitments.

Composable Data Hub

Connects research, clinical and operational data into one governed platform, so every team, and every product built on top of it, draws on the same trusted, defensible numbers. It is built to be AI-ready from the first day.
