Data Collection
What is Healthcare AI Data Collection?
Every healthcare AI model starts with data. Before a single annotation can be applied, the right data must be sourced — in the right modality, language, clinical context, demographic composition, and volume. SCILabel's Data Collection service gives healthcare AI builders access to a growing global network of clinical data partners and a bespoke collection infrastructure that can find, acquire, and prepare virtually any healthcare dataset.

How We Acquire Data
←
→
Direct Purchase
We purchase qualifying datasets outright from hospitals, clinics, laboratories, imaging centres, and research institutions. Full licensing documentation is provided.
Revenue‑Sharing Agreements
Clinical facilities and data holders contribute datasets and earn an ongoing percentage of revenue each time their data is licensed or used in a SCILabel project. Partner earnings are reported transparently through the data partner dashboard.
Bespoke Collection
For clients who need a specific dataset that does not yet exist — by imaging modality, language, clinical specialty, demographic group, or geographic region — we design and execute a made‑to‑order data collection programme using our clinical contributor network.
Curated Marketplace
A growing library of ready‑to‑license, de‑identified, AI‑ready healthcare datasets available for immediate acquisition on the SCILabel platform.
