Biofy Technologies is a Brazilian health tech company on a mission to save lives by tackling bacterial infections with precision and speed. Traditional identification and antibiotic resistance testing takes up to five days; Biofy’s platform, powered by AI and DNA sequencing, delivers answers in just four hours. The company chose Oracle Autonomous AI Database with AI Vector Search for secure storage, high performance, and seamless analysis of 90TB of DNA data, both real and synthetic. The Oracle AI data platform in combination with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI enables rapid, millisecond-level searches across vast, evolving genomic data sets—helping clinicians deliver the right antibiotic sooner. Since implementation, Biofy has cut costs by 50% and doubled performance. In partner hospitals, rapid diagnostics have reduced bacterial infection death rates from around 70% to 50%, making a tangible difference for patients and their families.
