Founded in 2015, Teckro provides a machine learning platform that is said to make trials fast, accurate, simpler and more transparent for doctors, researchers and patients.

On its website, Teckro CEO Gary Hughes said: “We challenge ourselves to find the best, most forward-looking way to deliver successful trials.

“What happens before the data is recorded has a much bigger impact on your trial’s outcome than any number of post-hoc remedial actions or strategies. In an industry focused on retrospective activities, it just makes sense to look at things differently.”

Teckro platform is currently used by approximately 10,000 clients across 80 countries, including pharma majors and small biotech companies.

Hughes was quoted as saying: “It’s really about providing answers to day-to-day questions any doctor and nurse may have in the context of a clinical trial in an instant.”
