About Aptura AI
We work with frontier AI labs and companies across healthcare, finance, and legal providing the specialist knowledge and human oversight that makes AI models more accurate and reliable in these highly regulated domains.
In healthcare, we specialise in sourcing clinicians experts and annotating medical data at scale that is used to train the models such as labelling and reviewing consultation notes, medical images or pathology reports.
The projects we manage tend to sit at the heart of how AI learns to understand real clinical interactions from consultations, workflows, and the delivery of care that directly affects both clinicians and patients. Projects we have been involved in, include SNOMED Medical Coding for Medical Device Registration, AI powered MDT platforms and AI-assisted Clinical Trials Recruitment.
We're a lean, in-person team based in London. We move quickly, hold ourselves to a high standard, and expect every individual to contribute directly.
