“In addition to accelerating and enhancing global drug discovery efforts, we will work alongside QuantHealth, our clients and ecosystem partners to expand medicine and treatment options and find new opportunities to bolster patient care.”

The AI platform aims to predict clinical trials’ efficacy and safety to optimise trial design.

In August 2023, the company’s Series A funding round, initially at $15m, was co-led by Bertelsmann Investments and Pitango HealthTech. The round also saw participation from existing investors Shoni Top Ventures and Nina Capital.

QuantHealth co-founder and CEO Orr Inbar said: “Clinical trials are a costly and uncertain process, where the R&D cost of a new drug can be upwards of $1bn.

“QuantHealth has created a solution that uses AI to transform how pharmaceutical companies approach their clinical trials. We are able to seamlessly integrate data and cloud technology into the clinical trial process, not only saving time and money for pharmaceutical companies but also increasing the chance of success in drug development.”
