What kind of company is MedCorpora?
MedCorpora is a business-to-business medical data infrastructure provider for AI teams and participating hospitals. It is not a public download repository and does not treat de-identification alone as permission to commercialize clinical data.
The company operates from Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Current sourcing availability includes hospital relationships in India. MedCorpora establishes written, programme-specific authorization before preparing or releasing an approved de-identified cohort. Hospitals retain source records and any authorized re-identification mapping.
How the platform bridges hospital archives and AI-ready data
Hospital archives are organized around care delivery, not machine-learning requirements. Studies may contain inconsistent DICOM metadata, missing sequences, repeated examinations, reports in separate systems and labels that have not been clinically validated. MedCorpora turns a buyer's intended model task into a hospital-ready specification, verifies aggregate inventory, and then governs preparation of an approved cohort.
- Inventory: resolve patients, examinations, series, reports and available clinical evidence
- Authority: connect the defined processing and licensing scope to written hospital permission
- Privacy: apply approved metadata, pixel, facial-anatomy and date controls
- Engineering: classify series, normalize structure, derive traceable formats and join clinical context
- Quality: document completeness, exclusions, scanner and population distributions and label provenance
- Release: license and deliver only the approved de-identified cohort under controlled terms
What medical AI teams can engage MedCorpora for
An engagement starts with the intended clinical task rather than a generic request for scans. MedCorpora can scope buyer-defined imaging and linked clinical data programmes, data engineering, model-development cohorts and independent evaluation or validation cohorts when the requested inventory, authority and reference standard can be verified.
- Commercial medical AI training and evaluation datasets
- External validation cohorts separated by hospital, scanner or population
- Brain MRI, liver MRI/MRE and non-contrast CT reference programmes
- Additional MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, pathology, reports, labs or waveforms where verified
- DICOM de-identification, curation, annotation governance and dataset lineage
What permissioned and de-identified means here
Permissioned means the specific programme has documented authority for its defined processing and controlled commercial licensing workflow. De-identified means direct and indirect identity risks are addressed under an approved privacy specification while useful technical and clinical structure is preserved where appropriate.
Neither word is a blanket legal guarantee. The applicable law, hospital authority, buyer purpose, geography, security, retention, onward-transfer and deletion terms must be assessed for each programme by the appropriate qualified parties.
How to evaluate any medical AI data infrastructure provider
A credible provider should be able to show the evidence behind its availability, rights, privacy and quality claims before a final release. Buyers should ask for definitions and records rather than relying on a headline image or case count.
- Who controls the source records, and what written authority covers the intended use?
- Are counts patients, examinations, series or individual files?
- How are metadata, burned-in text, facial anatomy and dates assessed?
- Can every derived file and label be traced to an authorized source study?
- Which sites, scanners, protocols and populations are represented or missing?
- What pilot, acceptance, security, retention and deletion controls apply?
