ALTDATA Data & simulation for research-intensive teams

Turn data scarcity into your advantage.

In biotech and other research-intensive fields, your bottleneck isn’t vision. It’s data. ALTDATA closes the data gap: run experiments virtually with a physics-anchored digital twin, and train AI on privacy-safe synthetic data.

Two ways past the data gap The data gap (scarce, expensive, slow, sensitive) is answered two ways: simulate it with the ALTDATA Digital Twin, physics-anchored AI twins that run virtual experiments; or synthesise it with Synthetic Data, privacy-safe engineered data to train and validate AI.

The data gap

The best data is the hardest to get.

Scarce Expensive Slow Sensitive

Locked behind privacy law. In research-intensive fields, the data you need to move fast is the data you can’t easily get, and black-box AI trained on what’s left falls apart in the real world.

The bill for that lands somewhere. More than half of preclinical research doesn’t reproduce, an estimated US$28 billion a year in the United States alone (Freedman et al., PLOS Biology, 2015). Not fraud. Mostly data that was never solid enough to build on.

There are two ways to fix that: simulate the data, or synthesise it. We do both.

Two engines, one problem

The two flagships

Digital Twin leads; Synthetic Data is the proven foundation.

Simulate it

The ALTDATA Digital Twin

Physics-anchored AI twins for biomedical research. Test thousands of permutations in seconds, with a confidence score on every result, before you touch a pipette.

  • Physics, not guesswork. Gated so it can’t return a biologically impossible result.
  • A confidence score on every result. Know when to trust the model, and when to run a real check.
  • The Gravity Knob. Model how gravity’s settling force shapes a 3-D culture, from ordinary ground-based data.

Synthesise it

Synthetic Data

Privacy-safe data that behaves like the real thing, so you can train and validate AI where real data is scarce, sensitive or slow to collect. Our proven business, trusted in medtech, healthcare and space.

  • Break the access bottleneck. Generate the dataset now, instead of waiting months on approvals.
  • Cover the edge cases. The rare fraud, the rare condition, that real data barely contains.
  • Privacy-safe by construction. Less real personal data to secure, move or breach.

Why ALTDATA

Why research teams trust us.

Physics, not hype

Our twins are anchored in real physics and calibrated against real data. We earn trust through validation, not adjectives.

Confidence you can defend

Every virtual result is scored; every synthetic dataset validated. Built to survive technical due diligence, not just a demo.

Proven where it’s hard

Biomedical research and space: regulated, high-stakes domains. Selected for CSIRO Innovate to Grow; partnered on an ISS mission backed by the SA space fund.

Built by researchers

Selected for Adelaide University’s 2026 Venture Catalyst Space cohort. We turn R&D into production AI.

What’s next

Where we’re heading.

We’re building toward something bigger: an AI layer that turns an organisation’s whole body of knowledge into answers. That’s next. Today, we solve the data gap.
