Product Overview
1. Web — Insight Hub A holistic dashboard of clinical + financial data (PoS, enrollment risk, red flags, competitive density heatmaps).
2. API — Risk Scoring Endpoints JSON-formatted PoS scores with evidence, embeddable into CRO/LIMS or portfolio dashboards.
3. Mobile — Paper & Signal Feed An “ArXiv-meets-ClinicalTrials” app with personalized alerts for executives.
Core features:
- Clinical trial dashboard
- Literature synthesizer (RAG pipeline: PubMed + bioRxiv)
- Trial tracker (phase-transition curves, enrollment forecasts)
- BD & IPO scoring module
Technology & Implementation
Models
- GBDT PoS estimator: trained on >35,000 transitions
- GNN: maps target–disease–MOA relationships
- Ensemble survival + transformer
- IPO forecaster: stacked LSTMs + XGBoost on >1,000 IPOs
Math (sketch)
- Survival probability (at horizon $t^{\ast}$):
$$ S(t) = \exp!\left(-\int_0^t h(u)\,du\right), \qquad \hat{p}_{\text{advance}} = 1 - S(t^{\ast}). $$
- Ensemble for PoS:
$$ \hat{y} = \alpha\,\hat{y}_{\mathrm{GBDT}}
- \beta\,\hat{y}_{\mathrm{Survival}}
- \gamma\,\hat{y}_{\mathrm{Transformer}}, \qquad \alpha + \beta + \gamma = 1. $$
Data Infrastructure
- Multimodal fusion (ClinicalTrials.gov, EudraCT, PubMed, SEC filings, market data)
- Cloud-native, scalable architecture
