Flywheel is a data management and analysis platform built specifically for scientists and the researcher's workflow. They empower research momentum by focusing on data and medical image capture, content management, scientific computation, and collaboration. With reproducible research in mind, they combine open-source methods from top universities, a modern web user interface, and an extensible compute engine based on containerization technology. The result is a software platform to accelerate discovery and help researchers do science, not IT. Flywheel accelerates new scientific discoveries in life-science, biotech, and academic imaging research through cloud-scale collaboration. As a result, imaging researchers are able to avoid innovation bottlenecks, and accelerate discovery by doing more science, and less IT.
