Pi Health Cancer Hospital opened in September 2023, and began running clinical trials last year. It\u2019s participated in eight so far, including one that helped lead to a drug for head, neck and lung cancer being approved in India just seven months after the first Indian patient was enrolled in the study. That\u2019s less than half the time such a process would typically take and a major validation point for the software, one that Kim and Reddy believe will help them attract more customers.<\/p>\n

Kim and Reddy figured they could develop AI-enabled technology that would ease the burden of clinical trials for drug developers and cancer patients. To build it, Pi Health\u2019s developers started with the end results they needed\u2014which Kim knew so well from his years at the FDA reviewing cancer drugs\u2014and essentially worked backwards to be sure that the software would actually address the problems they were trying to solve. \u201cThe clinical trial process is so confusing,\u201d Kim said. \u201cIt\u2019s just alphabet soup. There\u2019s audits and threatening people with audits and all sorts of things. People get intimidated participating in clinical trials. It is really intimidating.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This Startup Built A Hospital In India To Test Its AI Software Clinical trials are an enormous bottleneck in drug development, and Kim and Reddy thought the AI-enabled software they\u2019d been building at Pi Health could help do them faster and cheaper by expanding the pool of potentially eligible patients. But the majority of<\/p>\n
