Castor EDC/CTMS

Castor is a highly aggressive, incredibly modern European disruptor that specifically targets the "Mid-Market" and the "Academic Researcher." While a tool like Medidata costs millions of dollars and requires a team of consultants to implement, Castor was engineered to be so incredibly intuitive that a medical researcher can set up a legally compliant, highly secure clinical trial database by themselves in a single weekend. Its absolute biggest differentiator is "Self-Service EDC (Electronic Data Capture)." A university professor running a 100-patient study on a new diet cannot afford Medidata. They log into Castor, use a beautiful drag-and-drop builder to create the patient medical forms, hit publish, and instantly have an ISO 27001 and HIPAA/GDPR compliant clinical database ready to capture live patient data. Because it targets modern, agile trials, it heavily dominates "Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCT)." It features incredible "ePRO" (Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes). A patient doesn't have to drive to the hospital to fill out a paper survey about their headache. Castor automatically texts a secure link to the patient's smartphone. The patient answers the survey at home, and the data flows instantly into the trial database.
