Meet XNAT Scout

Explore medical data at the speed of thought. Scout ingests medical imaging data at scale, organizes it in a unified data lake, and gives you multiple ways to query and analyze it—from visual tools to code.

Our Technology
A Solution for Intelligent Medical Data Management and AI-Driven Analysis

Scout builds on XNAT, the open-source imaging platform behind thousands of research studies worldwide. We’ve extended it with the infrastructure modern research demands: the ability to handle massive clinical datasets, govern them properly, and find what you’re looking for.

At its core, Scout is a data exploration hub. It ingests clinical data into a unified data lake and gives you multiple ways to query it—visual dashboards, AI-powered natural language, or programmatic notebooks. As the platform evolves, Scout will support feature extraction, patient similarity search, and AI model deployment. Connect via DICOM and HL7. Deploy in the cloud, on-premise, or at the edge.

Our Story
Embark Labs launched in 2025 to fill a gap in the informatics landscape: open-source technology capable of deeply understanding patients at scale.

This isn’t a new vision for us. Over the past 20 years, across academic and commercial settings, we’ve built progressively more capable open-source tools—software that’s powered over 3,500 research publications worldwide. That track record showed us what’s possible. Embark Labs is how we deliver on it.

Every day, we work to give researchers and clinicians tools that accelerate discovery and improve patient outcomes. Our mission is simple: partner with our customers to reduce the burden of disease—for patients, families, and the people who care for them.
