Flywheel is a medical imaging data management and AI development platform for biomedical research, clinical trials, and medical device R&D. It securely ingests, organizes, de-identifies, processes, and analyzes imaging data (DICOM, NIfTI, and more) in a strict container hierarchy (Group, Project, Subject, Session, Acquisition, File, Analysis) and automates workflows with reusable plug-in applications called Gears. Developers integrate through a per-instance REST API documented with Swagger, an official Python SDK, a command line interface, and an open-source Developer Toolkit (fw-client, fw-file, fw-gear, fw-curation, fw-classification). Flywheel is HIPAA, SOC 2/SOC 3, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant. Surfaced as an 8vc portfolio company and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.
