## 🩺 Our Mission

The most powerful AI tools for healthcare should not be locked behind expensive paywalls. **OpenMed** is a community-driven initiative dedicated to building and sharing state-of-the-art, production-ready AI models for healthcare and life sciences.

Our mission is to accelerate research, empower developers, and improve patient outcomes by providing free, powerful, and transparent tools for everyone. All of our work is and always will be released under the permissive **Apache 2.0 license**.
