About Us

Xtasis was born out of the TENSOR Lab at Northwestern University. We combine deep learning research with clinical expertise to revolutionize healthcare. As part of the NVIDIA Inception program, AWS startups, and Microsoft for startups, we’re backed by leaders in AI innovation.

Our interdisciplinary team of data scientists, physicians, and engineers collaborate to build intuitive, HIPAA-compliant solutions that empower clinicians and patients alike.

Our Ethos

Teams with Range and Depth

We value teammates who go deep in their craft but are also willing to stretch across domains. That combination, expertise plus adaptability, keeps us resilient, collaborative, and moving fast without losing rigor.

Solving Hard Problems at the Intersections

The best ideas rarely come from staying in one lane. We look for opportunity where disciplines meet and others see friction, asking better questions and building solutions that are original, useful, and grounded in real problems.

Edge-Case Craftsmanship

We build for reality, not idealized demos. Edge cases, failure modes, and hard-use scenarios are built in from the start, because that's where systems prove themselves, and where real trust is earned.

User-Centered All the Way Down

We care how every layer behaves, not just the surface. Trust is built in the details: workflow clarity, failure handling, response speed, consistency. Every decision, from architecture to interface, should serve the people using it.

A Culture That Keeps Playing

We stay curious, experiment freely, and fail without ego. Progress belongs to teams that keep moving. For us, play isn't a lack of seriousness; it's how we stay inventive, keep momentum alive, and create space for better ideas to surface.

Tech Leads the Way

Our engineers and researchers don't just execute on business decisions; they shape them. The people closest to what's technically possible are best positioned to see what's worth building. We keep technical leadership at the center of product and strategy so the roadmap stays grounded in what's real, not just what's easy to sell.

The Xtasis Platform

The Data Journey

From the moment patient data is collected to the publication of groundbreaking research, our end-to-end AI pipelines protect, enrich, purify, diagnose, schedule, and synthesize — so your team can focus on what matters most.

01 · Protect

Deidentify Your Data

Every journey begins with trust. Before any data enters your pipeline, Xtasis automatically strips PHI from medical images, clinical notes, and datasets — ensuring HIPAA compliance from day one.

  • Automated image & text anonymization
  • HIPAA and GDPR compliant workflows
  • Configurable data retention policies
Deidentification Workflow
Text Annotation Interface
02 · Annotate

Tag Your Medical Data

With privacy established, enrich your dataset with clinical intelligence. Annotate notes and imaging data with custom schemas to build high-quality training corpora for your own AI models.

  • Customizable labeling schemas
  • Collaborative review workflows
  • Export in JSON/CSV formats
03 · Purify

PURIFai: Clean Your Imaging Data

Before images feed into diagnostic models, PURIFai automatically trims borders, strips overlays, and removes scanner annotations — delivering pristine frames ready for clinical AI.

  • Removes borders, text & measurement overlays
  • Full DICOM multi-frame support
  • Export clean JPEG or DICOM outputs
PURIFai: Ultrasound Clean & Trim
Cardiovascular Diagnostics UI
04 · Diagnose

Cardiovascular Diagnostics

Clean, annotated images flow directly into AI-powered diagnostic dashboards. Rapid 3D reconstruction and lesion detection enable clinicians to make confident, data-driven decisions faster.

  • 3D vessel reconstruction & measurements
  • AI-driven lesion detection overlays
  • Seamless PACS integration
05 · Schedule
