How we started
Founded in 2018, xCures transformed from a navigator support function into healthcare AI for processing medical records.
xCures grew out of Cancer Commons, a non-profit built to help cancer patients navigate care when their records were scattered across health systems, labs, and clinics. The company started with a single problem: how to give patients and clinicians a complete picture of what was actually happening in their care.
Oncology was the proving ground. It is one of the hardest data environments in medicine, with records spread across more sources than any single team can manage. The first version of the engine applied AI-assisted retrieval, classification, and extraction to that problem.
By the end of 2023, the engine had matured enough to move beyond a single therapeutic area. xCures became condition-agnostic and available as a B2B platform, extending the same capabilities to any medical record, in any therapeutic area, for any qualified organization.
Our Mission
The best of medicine should belong to everyone.
Nobody dreams of becoming good at being a patient. We have people to love, things we want to do, and plans we hope to keep.
Illness already asks enough of us.
xCures exists to give healthcare the capacity to care for everyone.
Healthcare has more to give. Too much of its time, money, and talent goes into unnecessary work that keeps people waiting and drives up the cost of care. Families bear that cost through their paychecks, premiums, and taxes. Freeing those resources can make excellent care possible for far more people.
xCures understands a patient’s history across the places they receive care and keeps that understanding current. It puts trusted information in the hands of the people who need it, when they need it, and uses that knowledge to take on more of the administrative work around care.
Our ambition is to empower doctors to make better decisions, enable researchers to develop better treatments faster, and help healthcare organizations serve more people with fewer errors and lower costs. Excellent care should be easier to give, easier to get, and affordable for everyone who needs it.
The people who care for us deserve the time and freedom to do their best work. Getting sick should cost a family less of its future.
We are building for the lives people want to live.

Our history
Eight years of getting clinical data right.
2018
The company launched, and the mission was defined.
2018 to 2020
Early oncology focus. The engine applies AI to managing large-scale cancer patient data and the fragmented access that surrounds it.
2021
First AI-assisted provider and patient portals released, changing how medical records are gathered, reviewed, and turned into usable clinical information.
2022
Turnkey engine aligned to interoperability rules. Less than 30 days after the 21st Century Cures Act requirements took effect, the xCures engine was made ready as a turnkey solution.
End of 2023
Expansion to condition-agnostic SaaS. The engine opens to any medical record, in any therapeutic area, for any qualified organization.
2025
Accelerated AI adoption across healthcare expands the engine’s use and capabilities for data processing at scale.
2026
xCures became an AI-first organization, closed its Series B, surpassing $76M in total funding, and established the Clinical Clarity Engine.
