Summary

Castor is one of the fastest growing healthtech startups. Our mission is to bring medical research into the digital age. Why? Because medical research is still largely run using free-text, paper and spreadsheets. By enabling our users to capture high quality data and making it machine readable, we are fundamentally changing the broken evidence based medicine process. You’ve found yourself a company with a true purpose. Learn more at castoredc.com and on our Life at Castor instagram channel.

Our platform enables researchers to set up data capture forms, collaborate with colleagues, invite patients through questionnaires and import, export and analyze their data in a secure, compliant cloud environment, all without elaborate training or technical skills. By helping researchers standardize their data using machine learning, we make sure it will still have value for future generations.

Castor has reached a critical junction on our journey to bring lasting change to medical research. Running over 4000 studies, including 200 on COVID-19, and our meteoric growth in commercial research, it’s now time to ensure we are prepared for the road ahead.

We like to celebrate all of our achievements. Back in 2018, we took out a boat in the sun for all our Castorians.
How do we help set our Castorians for success? Ensuring we get the equipment they need to their homes.
