Healthcare data is messy. We all know it. Datasets are often riddled with errors, inconsistencies and missing values, requiring data science teams to spend countless hours cleaning data before analyzing it.
The Cornerstone AI assistant is purpose-built to clean RWD. Its proprietary machine learning models automatically generate unique clinically relevant data cleaning rules for every dataset.
The Cornerstone AI assistant learns the structure and connections across data sources, harmonizing the structure. ML models then identify and correct errors, which are applied automatically or guided through our UI for optimal balance of scalability and nuance.
