This is like giving every child with cancer a personal scientific detective. Doctors test how that child’s own cancer cells react to many different drugs in the lab, then AI sifts through all the results plus medical data to recommend which treatments are most likely to work for that specific child, instead of relying only on one-size-fits-all protocols.
Traditional pediatric cancer treatments are often based on population averages and limited trial data, leading to trial‑and‑error therapy, toxicity, and poor options for relapsed or rare cancers. AI‑enabled functional precision medicine aims to systematically test many therapies on a patient’s own tumor cells and use machine learning to identify the best individualized treatment plans quickly and at scale.
Access to large, high-quality paired datasets of ex vivo drug response, genomics, and longitudinal clinical outcomes in pediatric cancers; integration into clinical workflows and tumor boards; and partnerships with children’s hospitals and biopharma for continuous data flywheel and validation.

High (Custom Models/Infra)
Data standardization, assay throughput, and strict clinical validation requirements limit how fast and broadly the system can be deployed.
Early Adopters
Focus on pediatric oncology and functional assays (testing living patient-derived cells against drug panels) rather than relying solely on genomics or guidelines-based decision support, enabling more actionable, individualized treatment predictions for rare and heterogeneous childhood cancers.
