A synthetic data engine and self-service platform that lets clinicians and researchers explore real-world health data with zero risk to privacy.
Every health system sits on an enormous archive of patient records - and can barely use it. Privacy law says no. Ethics boards say wait. A single clinical question can spend months in a queue before anyone gets an answer. MDClone was built on a contrarian idea: what if you never had to touch the real records at all?
The company's Synthetic Data Engine scans original patient information, then produces a copy that is statistically identical to the source - but contains no real person inside it. Because the numbers behave like the originals, analysts can work with the synthetic version exactly as if it were real, without exposing anyone.
That trick sits on top of a longitudinal database that ingests both structured and unstructured health-system data and harmonizes it over time. The combination is packaged as ADAMS, MDClone's flagship platform, which turns data access from an IT ticket into self-service exploration.
The result reshapes who gets to ask questions. When only a data team can query real records, only the data team's questions get asked. When anyone can safely explore a synthetic copy, a nurse, a quality officer, or a researcher can investigate a hunch and act on it the same day.
Founded in 2016 in Be'er Sheva - the desert city at the center of Israel's data and cyber scene - MDClone has grown into a platform used across the United States, Canada, and the entire Israeli healthcare market.
Structured and unstructured records flow into a unified longitudinal database.
Any authorized user builds cohorts and asks questions - no data-team ticket required.
The engine returns a statistically identical synthetic copy carrying no real patient.
Teams collaborate and compare across organizations without moving raw data.
A self-service environment for data exploration, analysis, and action - the hub where clinical teams run their own discovery cycles.
Clones original patient data into a statistically identical copy with no personal details, analyzable like the real thing.
Ingests and harmonizes structured and unstructured data over time into one query-ready store.
Lets health systems and life-science companies collaborate on real-world evidence projects via shared synthetic data.
"MDClone aims to reshape the global healthcare landscape by enabling organizations to harness their data to drive impactful change for patient health and clinical outcomes."
OrbiMed, Lightspeed, and aMoon have backed MDClone across four raises totaling roughly $112M. Bars show disclosed round sizes.
Early-round figure is approximate. Series C closed March 2022.
MDClone's customers are large, data-heavy organizations: academic medical centers, government health agencies, payers, and life-science companies. Named users include Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Intermountain Healthcare, the Regenstrief Institute, the VHA Innovation Ecosystem, the National Institutes of Health, The Ottawa Hospital, and Jewish General Hospital - alongside effectively the whole Israeli healthcare system.
What sets it apart from de-identification tools, data warehouses, and honest-broker programs is the synthetic layer. De-identified data still carries re-identification risk and heavy governance; synthetic data sidesteps the patient entirely, which is what makes cross-organization sharing practical.
Competitors in the broader real-world-data space include Datavant, TriNetX, Truveta, Palantir's health offerings, and Health Catalyst. MDClone's differentiator is pairing self-service exploration with privacy-preserving synthetic output in one platform, aimed at front-line users rather than only specialists.
The business model is B2B enterprise SaaS: recurring platform licensing plus implementation, with provider-to-life-science collaboration as an expansion path. Data providers estimate annual revenue near $21.7M, a figure the company has not officially confirmed.
Ziv Ofek, Luz Erez, and Boaz Gur-Lavie launch MDClone, backed by OrbiMed Israel Partners.
OrbiMed and Lightspeed fund real-time data access with zero patient-privacy risk.
aMoon leads the round as MDClone establishes the first healthcare synthetic data engine.
Named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and wins its first MedTech Breakthrough award.
Raises $63M and launches a synthetic data platform for life-science RWE collaboration.
Named Black Book's No. 1 data platform for health systems.
Appoints Bruno Lempernesse as President of North America; named to Modern Healthcare's Best in Business.
Previously founded dbMotion, a health-data interoperability company acquired by Allscripts in 2013. Returned to solve a harder problem: freeing the data, not just connecting it.
Leads the technology behind the synthetic data engine and longitudinal database.
Oversees finance and operations across MDClone's global growth.
A 25-year healthcare-technology veteran, formerly CEO of Carevive, brought on to drive North American growth.
It provides ADAMS, a healthcare data platform that ingests health-system data and generates synthetic (statistically identical but non-real) copies, letting clinicians and researchers explore and analyze data without privacy risk.
Synthetic data mirrors the statistical properties of real records without containing any actual patient information, so teams can analyze and share health data freely while removing the privacy and consent barriers that normally slow research.
Health systems, academic medical centers, government agencies, payers, and life-science companies - including Washington University in St. Louis, Intermountain Healthcare, the VHA, the NIH, The Ottawa Hospital, and effectively the entire Israeli healthcare market.
Roughly $112M across multiple rounds, including a $15M Series A (2018), $26M Series B (2019), and $63M Series C (2022), from investors such as OrbiMed, Lightspeed, and aMoon.
Founded in 2016 by Ziv Ofek (CEO), Luz Erez (CTO), and Boaz Gur-Lavie (CFO), and headquartered in Be'er Sheva, Israel, with significant North American operations.
