First of a Kind Platform Enables Complex Organizations in Highly Regulated Industries to Map Large Volumes of Fragmented Data Into AI-Ready Data Sets While Maintaining Total Control and Security Over Sensitive Information
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MTN (pronounced “Mountain”) today announced that it has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to accelerate development of its agentic AI platform. The technology is helping reshape healthcare data workflows by enabling organizations to create trustworthy, AI-ready datasets without exposing the underlying sensitive content. Uniquely, rather than reading the data itself, MTN’s AI non-invasively analyzes the structure, relationships and timing properties within large, fragmented data infrastructure. MTN then delivers that intelligence in a format customers can use to build more effective workflow models and improve operational outcomes.
The company’s platform consists of two core components: MTN Guide and MTN FieldMap. MTN Guide is an agentic data engineer that reads schemas, documentation, and API specifications, without accessing sensitive records, to determine what data fields mean and keep those interpretations current as systems change. MTN FieldMap is the resulting semantic map that Guide creates, showing how concepts and fields relate across systems, documenting confidence and uncertainty, and giving teams and AI tools a trusted foundation for querying and integration. The power of MTN’s technology is that it understands an organization’s data sets and discerns meaning.
The company is also leveraging its technology to apply to other highly regulated industries, such as financial services, that rely on trust, and data security and integrity as core to their business. In environments where speed, access and security are essential, MTN’s approach delivers significant advantage.
“We have already made major inroads in healthcare, working with companies like Samsung and with electronic health records to more efficiently map and understand critical healthcare data,” said MTN founder and CEO, Dr. Warren Pettine. “In that process, we saw the power of our approach to more broadly solve complex data issues for regulated and non-regulated industries, alike. The next phase of the work is expanding the platform for broader use, strengthening its security and compliance capabilities, and testing it with enterprise partners.”
MTN’s unique approach is underpinned by two critical differentiators: First, MTN’s approach is to semi-automatically build and maintain a map of what every table, column and document type means across fragmented systems, then provide precise directions on the map for users or AI agents. Every mapping carries its supporting evidence and a confidence level, so an answer can be traced back to its origin instead of being taken on faith. Second, the company’s platform organizes the data such that AI agents can leverage timing information, which allows them to better understand past events and act upon new ones.
“Our AI products don’t just bring specialist expertise to post-acute care through data mapping and clinical decision support; they also ensure that when patients have to be transferred, life-saving information travels with them to the hospital,” said Chance Basinger, founder and CEO of Cyrus Health. “MTN’s data technology makes it possible to scale across the wide range of facilities we serve and removes friction from our rapid growth.”
“MTN’s value proposition is straightforward,” said Dr. Pettine. “We map what your data means, where it lives and what can be trusted. We help customers to accelerate integrations, create faster, logical paths to revenue, more effectively manage and reduce expenses, and enable speedier, informed actions. Every one of these are essential outputs that organizations should expect in an AI-enabled world.”
The power of MTN’s approach is evidenced by growing demand outside healthcare. The company is currently in discussions with executives in a wide range of organizations, from investment firms seeking new efficiencies in critical analysis and business performance, to networking equipment companies focused on delivering better customer service.
“Consider the power of our approach for an industry like finance where our platform can be used to turn investment capital into profit by organizing data in ways that reduce operating friction. This kind of value is precisely what the industry has demanded forever, and now, through AI solutions like ours, it is possible,” concluded Dr. Pettine.
