Over the years, Grace Castillo-Soyao has taken various executive business and leadership programs from the Rotman School of Business, University of Toronto, the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania and has a rich corporate experience of over 20 years in pharmaceutical vertical. She is the Founder and CEO of Self Care Catalysts and is driving this organization towards the path of glory with her astute business mind and adept leadership skills.
Grace considers herself a Citizen Scientist. For years, she had wondered how drugs are approved based on a narrow set of data and evidence and yet when patients experience illness and health in the real world, there are many other variables and factors that need to be factored. According to her, big decisions related to healthcare are shaped mostly by data locked inside clinics and labs, despite the fact that 90% of care happens outside the clinical setting. She believes there are enormous types, format range of patient data that can be gleaned from actual patient experiences when they are not inside the physician clinics. Therefore, to put patients at the forefront of any healthcare development, she established Self Care Catalysts.
In 2014, Grace transformed a patient research company into a digital health and data company, building an eco-system that finally connects various healthcare stakeholders to begin generation of real world patient experiences that will drive innovation in clinical research, drug development, commercialization, patient engagement and behavior change.
According to the organization, technology will continue to play a pivotal role in the healthcare industry. Digital healthcare will redefine patient diagnosis, treatment and post-treatment activities. Traditional hospital will become obsolete and digital therapeutics; digital patient care will become the booming trend in up-coming future. This digital transformation will assist medical professionals in generating greater revenues, cost-reduction, enhanced operational efficiency, and better drug regulation. Everyone, from patient, physician to provider will get benefited with the progression of digital revolution.
Self Care Catalysts has an endeavor to be part of this revolution by catering to varied client needs through its cutting-edge healthcare eco-system.
