QuantHealth was founded in 2020 with a mission to help pharmaceutical companies accelerate and de-risk their programs by using AI to simulate clinical trials. The company uses AI to deliver real-world evidence by predicting the end result of a clinical trial, how the new drugs will work, and how patients may respond to therapeutics.
