What the company did
Deep 6 AI was a Pasadena, California-based healthcare AI company founded in 2016 by Wout Brusselaers, a Techstars and StartX alum. Its AI-powered clinical trial acceleration platform used natural language processing and machine learning on structured and unstructured electronic medical record data to precision-match patients to clinical trials in minutes instead of months. Its ecosystem spanned dozens of research institutions including six NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers, 30,000 physicians and 30 million patients. In March 2025, Tempus AI acquired Deep 6 AI.
