About us
Delivering
the best possible healthcare to patients worldwide requires an
efficient research process that drives innovation in healthcare.
Currently, 85% of resources spent on medical research do not contribute
to patient health. At Castor we are creating user-friendly technology
that solves these issues. Founded by an MD PhD, we understand that
researchers want technology to work for them, not against them.
Our
goal is to ensure the world’s research data becomes reusable and
machine-readable so that we can leverage the power of AI to help us
solve the biggest healthcare challenges. To be successful, we need to
continuously improve and grow our product. We believe we can accomplish
this with a healthy, happy, world-class team that is looking to make an
impact.
