Castor Catalyst: An AI-Automated Extraction Model

Traditional clinical research has long been hindered by the labor-intensive nature of manual chart reviews and the significant overhead of site-based data entry. To stay competitive, study teams must evolve toward more agile methods of generating regulatory-grade real-world evidence. Castor Catalyst is an AI-powered automated extraction model designed for clinical researchers and sponsors seeking to generate such evidence with unprecedented efficiency.

By utilizing a hybrid approach of FHIR and HIPAA releases to retrieve medical records directly via patient consent, the Castor Catalyst platform eliminates the need for manual site-based chart reviews and transcription. This unified solution addresses the significant burden of data entry errors—which account for over 70% of EDC changes—by providing a visual audit trail. Catalyst is already actively deployed in diverse therapeutic areas, including oncology and ultra-rare diseases, where it has reduced human effort from 40 hours to less than 4 hours.
