This is like a very smart calculator built from real patient histories that estimates how long a HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer patient is likely to live under different treatment options, so doctors and drug developers can see which approaches tend to work best for which patients.
Oncologists and drug-development teams struggle to decide which treatment strategy will provide the best survival benefit for individual HER2+ early-stage breast cancer patients because clinical trial evidence is population-level and real-world patients are heterogeneous. A machine-learning survival predictor helps identify patterns between patient characteristics, treatment modalities, and overall survival to support more personalized treatment choices and better design of future therapies and trials.
If deployed in practice, the main moat would be access to large, curated longitudinal oncology datasets with detailed treatment regimens and outcomes, plus embedded relationships with cancer centers and sponsors that make the model part of standard treatment planning and trial-design workflows.

Structured SQL
Medium (Integration logic)
Access to sufficiently large, clean, and longitudinal patient-level datasets with consistent HER2 status, treatment timelines, and survival outcomes; plus regulatory and privacy constraints on sharing and deploying the model across institutions.
Early Adopters
Focuses narrowly on HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer, modeling the link between specific treatment modalities and overall survival rather than generic risk scoring, which makes it more directly actionable for oncologists and clinical researchers in this high-value sub-indication.
