What Baseline AI does

The main document in a clinical trial is the study protocol. At large companies, floors of people use the protocol to create the study data collection forms, clinical database design, error checks, analysis code, and data transformation mappings. We use AI to automate the process of creating everything from the protocol, saving not only spend on headcount but also months of time which can translate to up to $27M in direct costs + lost revenue saved for a single phase 3 trial.

AI document creation for clinical trials

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build AI software that automates creating clinical trial study protocols and the related documents like data collection forms, database designs, error checks, and analysis code. This replaces the manual work done by large teams in pharma companies and speeds up trial prep by months while cutting millions in costs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where most biotech and health tech software buyers are, so it's the natural place for Baseline AI to grow and stay close to customers.
