See it in action

Trusted by leaders in the life sciences industry

Data lives in silos

Proprietary, licensed, and public datasets sit in disconnected systems, making cross-source discovery slow and unreliable.

Insights take too long

Researchers spend weeks wrangling data instead of generating hypotheses, delaying discovery and increasing cost.

Non-technical users are locked out

Without SQL skills or data engineering support, scientists can't access the data they need when they need it.

DISQOVER solves this

One unified knowledge graph

All your data — integrated, linked, and queryable in plain language — so every researcher becomes a true data citizen.

The Challenge

Siloed data is slowing your science down.

DISQOVER connects siloed datasets into a unified knowledge graph, so researchers, analysts, and data teams can explore, query, and act on insights instantly.

Product Overview

How DISQOVER Works

DISQOVER builds your semantic layer using the powerful concept of an ontology-based knowledge graph that integrates, links, and structures data.

Combined with AI-based semantic search and natural language processing, siloed data sources are unified into a single, high-quality knowledge base. Through a powerful yet intuitive interface, scientific researchers become true data citizens.

How It Works

Integrate Your Data

Connect your proprietary datasets through an ontology-based knowledge graph — a powerful semantic layer that links, structures, and contextualizes your data at its core.

Enrich Your Data

Augment internal and licensed data with 80+ pre-ingested public data sources — all harmonized and contextualized within your unified knowledge base.

Query in Plain Language

Ask questions in natural language or build structured queries across all integrated data — no SQL expertise or data engineering background required.

Visualize & Explore

Interact with rich, configurable visualizations that surface relationships, patterns, and insights directly from your knowledge graph.

Accelerate Workflows & Decisions

Empower researchers to move faster — from hypothesis to insight — reducing time-to-decision and unlocking new opportunities for discovery.

DISQOVER – Ground Your AI · ONTOFORCE

The knowledge layer that makes
AI trustworthy in pharma

Large language models are powerful, but in regulated life sciences they cannot operate alone. DISQOVER provides the structured, traceable knowledge foundation that turns LLM outputs into answers you can act on and audit.

⚠ The Problem

LLMs hallucinate.
Pharma cannot afford that.

LLMs don't know what they don't know. In regulated life sciences, that uncertainty translates directly into compliance failures, compromised safety data, and costly trial delays.

✓ The Solution

Full data provenance.
Built for regulated industries.

Data governance in pharma is non-negotiable, yet LLMs produce outputs with no traceable lineage. DISQOVER ensures every insight carries a verifiable chain of custody, from raw source to final answer.
