From EPFL to Tune Insight
Driven by a core challenge: advancing medicine while keeping data confidential
The story of Tune Insight begins with a simple yet fundamental observation: in the health sector, data is both an invaluable asset and a sensitive resource to manipulate. Its use is crucial to advancing medical research, developing new treatments and improving care. However, legitimate concerns about confidentiality, strict regulations and ethical issues are holding back progress.
Faced with this paradox, Tune Insight founders decided to act. They asked themselves a daring question: what if we could access knowledge without directly manipulating the data?
In 2021 at EPFL’s Laboratory for Data Security, our four co-founders developed the foundations for a secure solution that combines homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, differential privacy and federated learning. This is how Tune Insight was born.
