Tempus AI is a health tech company that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors treat patients more precisely—especially those with cancer, heart disease, or mental health conditions.

Think of it as a super-smart medical assistant that can read tons of data (like DNA tests, X-rays, and medical records) and then give doctors helpful advice about what treatments might work best.

Real-Life Examples:

Finding the Right Cancer Treatment

Imagine a woman with breast cancer. Doctors send her tumor for testing to Tempus. Tempus analyzes her DNA and RNA using AI and discovers she has a rare mutation. The platform then suggests a specific drug that works well for that mutation—even if her doctor didn’t know about it.

Catching Heart Problems Early

Tempus worked with Northwestern Medicine to create an AI tool that looks at ECG (heart test) results. The AI can spot people who may soon develop atrial fibrillation—a serious heart rhythm problem—before symptoms appear.

Helping Patients Understand Their Health

In 2025, Tempus launched a digital assistant called Olivia. It helps patients collect all their health info (like blood pressure, imaging scans, medications), and then uses AI to answer questions like:

“Why am I taking this medication?”
“Can I join any clinical trials?”

It’s like having ChatGPT for your medical records.

Why It Matters

For doctors: They get better tools to treat patients faster and more accurately.

For patients: They get personalized care and feel more in control of their health.

For researchers: They can discover new drugs faster by analyzing Tempus’s massive health database.

Where It Is Used

Hospitals like Cleveland Clinic and Northwestern Medicine

Pharma companies like Pfizer and AstraZeneca (to find new drug targets)

Patients in the U.S., and soon, Japan (through a partnership with SoftBank)

Tempus AI turns big, messy health data into clear, useful answers that save lives.
