The SICC Innvierte of CDTI Innovación invests, together with two co-investors, in Savana (MEDSAVANA, S.L.) for the development of clinical data and artificial intelligence platforms that are revolutionizing healthcare and research.
CDTI Innovación, through Innvierte, is carrying out this operation alongside SEAYA VENTURES II FCR and GED CONEXO VENTURES FCR. To date, the total investment amounts to €4,560,000.
Savana is a Spanish healthtech company founded in 2014 and present in 13 countries, leading the application of artificial intelligence to clinical language. Its technology unlocks the immense hidden value in unstructured data from electronic health records—such as medical notes or free-text reports—by transforming them into useful clinical evidence for research, healthcare management, and decision-making. In addition, Savana integrates existing structured data (such as coded diagnoses or lab results), offering a more complete and reliable clinical view. This enables the development of unique and differentiated use cases for all healthcare ecosystem stakeholders, from governments and hospitals to the pharmaceutical and medtech industries.
Thanks to its proprietary, multilingual clinical Natural Language Processing (cNLP) technology—scientifically validated—Savana harmonizes large volumes of previously inaccessible information and codes it according to international standards such as SNOMED CT, OMOP, or openEHR. This allows healthcare organizations to fully harness the potential of their data to conduct large-scale clinical studies and make decisions based on richer, more precise evidence.
SAVANA (MEDSAVANA S.L.)
Savana is a health-focused artificial intelligence company that provides unique technology solutions to transform hospitals' unstructured clinical data into actionable knowledge. Its scientifically validated, multilingual cNLP technology enables the creation of living disease registries (Savana Next-Generation Registries), facilitates real-world data research studies (deepRWE), optimizes clinical decision-making, and accelerates access to safe and effective treatments.
Moreover, through Savana Data Space—its interoperable infrastructure for the secure exchange of clinical data—Savana connects hospitals, researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry, fostering a global smart health network.
With an international presence and a strong scientific and regulatory foundation, Savana advances precision medicine, clinical research, and the sustainability of the healthcare system.
With this co-investment, Savana strengthens its mission to lead the digital transformation of healthcare and accelerate access to more personalized, efficient, and evidence-based medicine.
