Selfii is swiftly advancing a billion-dollar revolution in healthcare, surpassing even our own time to market expectations, backed by an expert team with unmatched achievements and an unparalleled track record of success in every aspect of the company’s business. By converting patient-consented clinical records into a comprehensive medical knowledge graph filled with reliable facts, we’ll improve health outcomes. And, by leveraging real data, we’re generating vast volumes of synthetic data that are statistically identical but devoid of PHI concerns, thus expediting clinical research and the development of AI, LLMs, apps, and bio-simulations. These innovations will drive exponential revenue growth through our marketplace, which specializes in the monetization of patient-consented data. With our AI, being trained on data from 100 million individuals across all therapeutic areas, we’re cementing a formidable lead over competitors. As Vijay Pande of a16z has stated, “The biggest company in the world will be a consumer health tech company.” We’re laying the foundation to become THE global hub for the patient-consented data business, firmly believing in a ‘winner-takes-all’ future for Selfiie.

Ideem delivers Passkeys+, a next-generation authentication solution that combines the usability of consumer-grade FIDO2 passkeys with the strength of our patented Zero-Trust Security Module (ZSM). The result is a single, omni-channel platform for multi-factor authentication that’s purpose-built for highly regulated industries. Developed with a top 5 global bank, ZSM is a FIPS 140-3 FIDO-compliant authenticator delivered entirely in software. It enables cryptographic device binding through a lightweight SDK that drops into any stack, working seamlessly across browsers and native apps. Passkeys handle user verification for passwordless login, while ZSM ensures passkeys remain bound to the device where they were created giving financial institutions the control and visibility they require. Passkeys+ equips banks, payment wallets, cross-border platforms, payroll systems, and marketplaces with future-proof authentication in one simple package Ideem’s drop-in SDK works seamlessly across all browsers and native apps. No user interaction is required - no effort, no permissions, no exceptions. Just easy and invisible device authentication.
