What do we do?

We are developing Castors Electronic Data Capture platform, a web application that allows medical researchers to collect data for their clinical studies. We are one of the fastest growing HealthTech companies, having grown our customer base to over 30,000 researchers worldwide. We are proud of the fact that our customers are our biggest growth engine. Once they use our product, they fall in love and tell their fellow researchers!

What is our Castor vs. COVID-19 project?

Castor has joined the global fight against the Coronavirus by making our research data capture system available for free for all COVID-19 research projects. As of May 1, Castor is supporting more than 180 COVID-19 studies across 15 countries. Since time is of the essence, we have enabled these studies to go live within 5 days on average.

What is our "big, hairy, audacious" goal?!"

We want to accelerate medical research by unlocking the potential of every researcher. Starting with an easy to use and affordable EDC we want to help researchers throughout the entire medical research process. We believe that standardizing and reusing research datasets is key to meeting tomorrow’s healthcare challenges.
