"Amir joining the board, alongside Healthier Capital's investment, is a strong testament to this groundbreaking company," said Sara Deshpande, General Partner at Maven Ventures, a firm that participated in Medeloop's seed round in 2023. “Streamlining clinical research is imperative to the future of health research and Amir will play a large role in this effort, helping Medeloop on their mission to improve health outcomes.”
Medeloop offers a comprehensive AI solution to the inefficiencies and hurdles faced in clinical research, streamlining the processes that typically spans up to five years.

Capable of processing thousands of scenarios simultaneously, ART excels in uncovering critical insights, such as identifying novel biological pathways for disease treatment. This autonomous agent not only accelerates research but also broadens the range of possible inquiries, redefining the limits of clinical research.
