Deep dives
The Origin of Tempus AI
The motivation behind the creation of Tempus AI stems from a deeply personal experience of its founder, Eric Lefkofsky, whose wife was diagnosed with cancer. Faced with the lack of personalized treatment options and insufficient use of patient data in her care, Eric decided to leverage his technological expertise to address these gaps. He gathered and analyzed patient data, leading to the development of a tool that significantly improved the personalization of her treatment plan, which ultimately succeeded. This formative experience spurred the establishment of Tempus AI, a company dedicated to transforming healthcare through innovative data utilization.
