WHAT WE DO
Medex Forensics develops and deploys digital forensic technology to identify child predators, fight digital crime, and combat disinformation. We care deeply about helping our colleagues and clients determine the trustworthiness of digital video evidence and to know when a video has been edited or modified.
We offer software as a service, as well as training and expert forensic services to increase our clients’ capacity to know everything there is to know about a given digital video file.
WHY WE ARE UNIQUE
Unlike any other software, Medex reveals information that is not present in the metadata of a digital video file. With this additional intelligence, investigators are answering new questions about video and identifying additional crimes and perpetrators in previously impossible ways.
We call this Structural Classification.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Medex’s strengths lay in its speed, ease-of-use, potential for investigative leads, and ability to identify modification and validation errors in video files. It is a SaaS solution that is low overhead and commitment for organizations to license and try the technology themselves.
Medex offers law enforcement professionals, journalists, lawyers, forensic examiners, and intelligence analysts a first-ever forensic toolset to automatically inspect a video file, identify the camera that created it, identify any software that was used to edit it, and report modifications that were made to the file. Our users in federal, state, county, and private agencies are already employing Medex to solve child exploitation video production cases, to validate body worn camera video for court, and to disprove disinformation videos.

Public Safety & Law Enforcement

Public Safety & Law Enforcement
- Authenticate citizen-submitted video to identify which files are camera original and which files have been downloaded from social and file sharing platforms, or which were generated with video editing tools.
- Develop investigative leads by identifying camera make and model of acquired video.
- Solve cases that involve video evidence faster and with more accuracy.
- Prove or disprove that evidence is reliable and has not been unexpectedly edited or tampered with.
Legal & Insurance
- Understand the provenance of any video in your case.
- Is the video the best quality possible?
- Is the evidence what it purports to be?
- Has the video been edited or tampered with?
- Is it original?
Medex will help you quickly develop confidence or distrust in video evidence to help you more quickly determine the best strategy for making the most of video evidence in your cases.
Investigative Journalism
- Authenticate citizen-submitted or acquired digital video before you make it a central piece of evidence in your research or investigation.
- Ensure you understand the context of the video in your possession so that you can make the most accurate interpretation of its value and what it means before you publish.
Social Media & File Sharing Platforms
- Combat disinformation on your platform by identifying/flagging potentially altered video prior to posting.
- Process and store the provenance of digital video before it is re-encoded by your social media or file sharing platform.
- Add more intelligence into your content moderation pipelines by capturing the generational history of a video file before normalization.
