[back to company universe](https://highsignal.app/case-studies) AI infrastructure # Harbor Harbor is building an AI-native contract research organization (CRO) for clinical trials. We started with an AI-native system of record for clinical trial data (electronic data capture system), grew the software business to seven trials and ~$187k in contracted software revenue over the next twelve months, then expanded into full-service trial execution and signed our first CRO contract worth $1.93M over three years. Clinical trials consume 45% of all new drug and device development spend.

[### Novelcare match 91Novelcare addresses the primary bottleneck in drug development: recruiting patients into clinical trials. We analyze electronic health records to help doctors find clinical trials for their patients, and to help trial sites find patients for their studies. 72% of doctors want to inform their patients of clinical trials, but only 5% do. We're on a mission to close that gap, ultimately bringing safer, more effective drugs to the patients who need them.shared extracted concepts: clinical trials; shared product terms: clinical, trial, record, electronic; shared product theme: context and memory, health and clinical care; shared affiliation: Y Combinator](https://highsignal.app/case-studies/novelcare)[### AidRx match 69AidRx is the 'Upwork' for clinical pharmacy, connecting clinics and pharmacies with remote clinical pharmacists.

Our first product is a context-aware algorithmic load planning platform for full truckload (FTL) carriers. Our agents plug into a carrier's existing ERPs and communication channels, using that context to generate holistically optimized load plans. The result: carriers earn more revenue-per-mile while spending less time planning.
