About Healx

Healx is an AI-powered tech bio company that is redesigning drug discovery. With 10,000 rare diseases affecting 300 million people globally, 90% of which have no approved treatment, Healx is on a mission to pioneer the next generation of drug discovery to help rare disease patients in need. We combine data, artificial intelligence and deep pharmacology expertise to develop treatments more quickly and cheaply than traditional drug discovery.
