RTI International, a renowned nonprofit research institute, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Nested Knowledge, an innovative platform specializing in AI-driven evidence synthesis and literature reviews. This partnership marks a significant step forward in utilizing artificial intelligence to enhance scientific research standards, particularly in the life sciences and healthcare sectors.

Under the new collaboration agreement, RTI Health Solutions (RTI-HS), a business unit of RTI, will integrate Nested Knowledge’s Gen-AI tools to offer advanced, tech-enabled research services. These services are designed to support complex data extraction and systematic literature reviews, providing clients with more efficient and accurate scientific insights. Additionally, RTI will make an equity investment in Nested Knowledge, further solidifying the partnership and commitment to shared goals.

Chris Simmons, Senior Vice President and head of RTI Health Solutions, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “We’re thrilled to partner with Nested Knowledge. Their tools enhance scientific standards in life science and healthcare research and have already allowed our team to conduct rapid systematic literature reviews and to generate evidence-based insights for our clients.”

Nested Knowledge offers a platform that supports the creation of living evidence libraries from published medical literature, leading the charge in AI-backed systematic and targeted literature reviews. Kevin Kallmes, CEO and founder of Nested Knowledge, highlighted the synergy between the two organizations, noting, “We see RTI as a perfect partner for both using and expanding our platform’s capabilities. The combination of investment, collaborative research, and co-commercialization should not only advance the field of evidence synthesis but also provide concrete, transparent, and actionable direction and demonstration of responsible use of Gen-AI.”

This collaboration aligns with RTI’s commitment to ethical and transparent use of Gen-AI, contributing to its extensive investment portfolio which spans clinical research technology, precision medicine, healthcare analytics, patient engagement solutions, population health, and diagnostic testing.

The strategic partnership between RTI International and Nested Knowledge represents a forward-thinking approach to integrating AI into scientific research. By leveraging AI for systematic literature reviews, the collaboration is set to transform how data is processed and utilized in making evidence-based decisions in healthcare research. This initiative not only enhances the capabilities of both organizations but also sets a new standard for the responsible use of AI in advancing medical and scientific knowledge.
