Overview
Health Technology Innovations (HTI) is a private, early-revenue company leveraging artificial intelligence to revolutionize the cryo-EM workflow for drug discovery. Its core business combines a fee-for-service cryo-EM structural analysis offering with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform designed to automate the most time-consuming steps in single-particle analysis. The company has secured non-dilutive grant funding from entities like the National Science Foundation and the Oregon Innovation Council, validating its technological approach, and has formed strategic partnerships with protein production CROs to offer integrated services. HTI operates at the intersection of AI, structural biology, and pharmaceutical R&D, targeting the significant inefficiencies in current drug discovery pipelines.
Technology Platform
CryoDiscovery™ and CryoFAST™: AI/ML software platforms that automate cryo-EM image processing, particle picking, 2D/3D classification, and data collection to accelerate single-particle analysis workflows for drug discovery.

Competitive Landscape
HTI competes with established cryo-EM software suites like cryoSPARC and RELION, which are integrating their own AI features, and with large instrument manufacturers like Thermo Fisher Scientific that offer bundled hardware-software solutions. Its differentiation lies in a dedicated focus on end-to-end AI automation for the entire workflow (data collection via CryoFAST™ to processing via CryoDiscovery™) and a hybrid model that validates software through its own service division.
