Europe’s top healthtech startup, recognized for redefining patient-first, privacy-powered AI.
Nov 21, 2024
We’re incredibly proud (and still a little speechless!) to share that OASYS NOW has been crowned the winner of Slush 100, Europe’s most competitive startup competition. Chosen from over 1,000 early-stage startups across Europe and North America, we took the stage in Helsinki to pitch a new kind of future for healthcare: one where AI, privacy, and patients don’t compete, they reinforce each other.
What We Pitched: Healthcare That’s Human and Scalable
At OASYS NOW, we believe that the future of medicine isn’t just about smarter AI — it’s about ethical infrastructure. That means building systems where:
Patients can access and control their own health data
Hospitals can use that data without compromising trust or compliance
Researchers can collaborate securely across borders
We’re not just layering AI onto legacy systems, we’ve built an AI-native, privacy-by-design platform from the ground up. Whether it’s matching patients to clinical trials using ELaiGIBLE, or securely pseudonymising sensitive health records with De-ID, our tech is designed to serve real people in real systems, with clarity, accountability, and transparency.
What This Win Means
Winning Slush 100 is more than a trophy. It’s validation, that radical trustworthiness is not just possible in AI healthcare, it’s essential. And it shows that the industry is hungry for solutions that don’t treat privacy as a blocker, but as the backbone of adoption.
Our thanks go to the incredible jury who believed in our story and our mission, including:
Juliet Bailin (Partner, Healthcare & Enterprise Software, General Catalyst)
Filip Dames (Founding Partner, Cherry Ventures)
Cal Henderson (Co-Founder & former CTO, Slack)
Jochen Engert (Founder & CEO, Flix)
They saw not just our tech, but the human stories that drive it, from our co-founder Nima’s experience trying to get care for his mother across borders, to Sara’s struggles accessing genomic data as a researcher. These stories are the reason OASYS NOW exists.
What’s Next
This win puts more wind in our sails as we:
Scale ELaiGIBLE across European hospitals and trial sites
Expand De-ID as the go-to pseudonymisation engine for all health data types
Finalize and publish CoMPai, our privacy-first framework for federated AI in genomics
