Company profile

researched Aug 2026

VIDA (vidalung.ai) provides data-driven, AI-powered clinical trial imaging for pharmaceutical and life-sciences sponsors. Its offering is delivered through the VIDA Intelligence Platform, which enables sponsors to collect and leverage imaging data across drug development and the clinical trial process. Service lines span clinical trial imaging, clinical development planning, and therapeutic research.

Within clinical trial imaging, VIDA performs image analysis that combines radiology assessments (eligibility reads, safety reads, adjudication) with AI algorithms that produce quantitative imaging biomarkers; it also handles site management, including digital site onboarding, site training, scanner certification and ongoing site support, and gives sponsors platform access to trial imaging data, key performance metrics and site activity. Clinical development planning services cover trial workflow design, biomarker and site selection, matching sponsors to high-performing sites (including a network of freestanding imaging facilities that can be paired with trial centers lacking imaging capability), and construction of external control arms and digital twins from its data assets. Therapeutic research services let sponsors and researchers examine cohorts through disease phenotyping, biomarker discovery and retrospective analysis of existing imaging datasets.

VIDA also positions a "Digital Biobank" product, described as the digital analogue of a tissue or blood biobank, holding longitudinal patient information such as imaging data, test results, demographics and diagnoses, and used to reveal patterns among responder cohorts, identify early disease phenotypes and therapeutic targets, and simulate control arms or digital twins.

Business model

VIDA sells platform-enabled imaging services to clinical trial sponsors, spanning trial imaging execution, expert reading services, development planning and research access to its data repositories, including the Digital Biobank.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography

Market position

The company frames its market around growth in imaging biomarker use in clinical trials, citing 700% growth in the utilization of imaging biomarkers in trials, and positions its respiratory quantitative imaging as its foundation while extending into cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, musculoskeletal and gastroenterology trials.

Technology

The VIDA Intelligence Platform underpins the company's services, combining AI-powered algorithms with expert radiology review to generate quantitative imaging biomarkers. Its respiratory foundation produces up to 15,000 individual metrics from a single scan across more than 50 biomarkers measuring airway, tissue and vascular remodeling as well as lung function endpoints such as ventilation and air trapping. Cardiovascular biomarkers are derived from CT and MRI acquisitions (gated/non-gated, contrast/non-contrast) and include Coronary Artery Calcium Score, Thoracic Artery Calcium Score, pulmonary artery-to-aorta ratio, peripheral vessel measures and LV/RV ratio. Oncology analysis covers standard tumor response measures such as RECIST 1.1 plus more advanced tumor analysis of solid tumors in the chest or body imaged with CT, MRI or PET/CT. The company also states it integrates AI-powered analysis across additional modalities and therapeutic areas via partnerships.

Go-to-market

Pharmaceutical and life-sciences sponsors running clinical trials that involve imaging, along with researchers conducting therapeutic and biomarker research.

Geography
