Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cornerstone is HIPAA compliant and performs penetration testing regularly to ensure data privacy and security. 

    Our continually maintained security program documents and implements physical, administrative, and technical safeguards necessary to protect any confidential or patient-related information shared by customers.

  • The Cornerstone system supports clinical data related to any indication. The Cornerstone AI algorithms are self-learning and therefore indication-agnostic. Types of clinical data we’ve worked with include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Infertility, Oncology, Knee Surgery Recovery, COVID, Alzheimer's Disease, and healthy control cohorts. 

    Our platform is built for and has demonstrated success with Real World Data (RWD) as well as data from patient registries, and Phase II, III, and IV clinical trials.

    We’ve helped improve data quality in datasets of less than 100 patients to more than 100,000 patients.

  • Your data is yours, and is only used for you. We do not keep, aggregate, or resell your data. We are HIPAA compliant, and adhere to strict data use guidelines.

  • We have out-of-the-box standardization support for MedDRA, RxNorm, WHODrug, NDC, HCPCS, CPT®, ICD-10-CM, ICD-9-CM, LOINC, CDISC as well as a number of custom dictionaries. 

    We continually add support for new terminologies. Contact us about adding a dictionary.

  • The Cornerstone application automatically builds a model for each field in each table across a dataset. All other information in the dataset is then eligible to be potential predictors in the models, with proprietary variable selection methods to make this modeling tractable. 

    Ultimately, models generates a predicted value for each value in each record across the entire database. Unexpected values are then identified by comparing these multivariate predictions with observed values, summarized by an anomaly score.

  • Cornerstone does not sell or license any data ourselves. Our goal is to help you clean the data that you currently own. 

  • No, the Cornerstone application is an explainable AI solution. As data scientists, we know that full visibility is needed in order to understand and trust the algorithms running "under the hood." We provide this visibility via a full-featured UI, used to explore the data as well as to validate and provide feedback to the algorithms. This validation and feedback ensures the system functions optimally.

    Furthermore, everything the system or user updates or notes is logged in an audit trail to provide full visibility and traceability.

  • The Cornerstone system does not require manual setup or tagging of tables/fields in order to clean data and identify extreme or unexpected values.  This enables companies to start deriving value from the system very quickly.  

    Second, the AI algorithms in the Cornerstone system can learn the clinical rules in a new disease area or patient population that it hasn't seen before, via novel self-learning methods.
