As personalized medicine becomes the norm, scientists, patients, and healthcare systems worldwide face massive barriers in providing the right treatment to the right patient.
Recognized by CB Insights and Financial Times as one of the most promising Digital Health companies in the world, iLoF is building an AI-powered breakthrough platform capable of transforming precision medicine.
Our goal is to become the platform that democratizes access to personalized medicine for millions of people living with complex diseases around the globe.
Thanks to our proprietary optical fingerprint library of disease biomarkers and biological profiles we can offer personalized patient screening and stratification in a faster and more affordable way, saving up to 40% of the cost and 70% of the time while enabling a more human patient experience.
Supported by leading institutions like Microsoft Ventures, Mayfield, or the Oxford University, iLoF is currently focusing on a validated platform technology in one of the biggest epidemics of our times : Alzheimer's, while maintaining ongoing verticals on Digestive Cancer, Stroke, and Infectious diseases.
