Build the future of healthcare AI. We’ll give you the infrastructure to do it.
Corti for Researchers gives academic teams free API credits, healthcare-grade models, and direct access to our team. Focus on the science. We'll handle the scaffolding.
Why this exists
Healthcare AI research is hard to do well. The models that matter most - those trained on clinical conversations, and coded on actual patient data - aren't the ones you can spin up on a general-purpose API.
We built Corti on 16 million+ patients and 550,000+ hours of clinical audio. Our researchers use it. Now yours can too.
What you can unlock as an academic
Free API credits
Up to £25,000 in credits across our full suite: speech-to-text, medical coding, clinical text generation, and our FactsR™ reasoning layer.
Healthcare-native models
Not a general model retrofitted for medicine. Built from scratch on clinical language, designed for accuracy that matters at the point of care.
The same stack we publish with
We've contributed to NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, and npj Digital Medicine. When you build on Corti, you're building on the same models behind that work.
Who it's for
Corti for Researchers is open to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers at accredited universities, faculty running active research programmes in health AI, NLP, or clinical informatics, and research labs with a clear path to publication or clinical impact.
We're drawn to work that goes after the difficult problems: underrepresented languages in clinical settings, bias in medical coding, agentic systems for care coordination, decision support in low-resource environments.
Explore our APIs
Agentic Framework
Agents that can reason, plan, and act across clinical and operational workflows, on the #1 AI Agent platform for healthcare & life sciences.
Medical Coding
One API call returns structured predictions, supporting evidence, and a full audit trail. The most accurate medical coding AI in the world.
Speech to Text
Medical-grade ASR built for clinical conversations. Multi-speaker, multi-language, low-latency.
Text Generation
Turn transcripts, facts, or structured data into any type of clinical documentation, tailored by specialty, encounter type, and language.

Researchers at accredited institutions. PhD candidates, postdocs, and faculty are all eligible. If you're unsure, apply and tell us about your work.
What can I use the credits for?
Any Corti API: Agentic Framework, Medical Coding, Speech to Text, and Text Generation. Credits draw from a single balance and shift freely as your research evolves.
Can I publish results using Corti models?
Yes. We encourage it. Let us know when you submit.
Does it cost anything?
No. We do ask for a payment method on file for overages beyond your allocation.
How long do credits last?
2 months from approval, with the option to reapply.
