Faro Health Inc. Secures $15 Million Series A Financing to Deliver Digital Transformation for Clinical Study Design and Authoring

Jun 8, 2021

SAN DIEGO - June 8, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

Faro Health Inc., a cloud-computing company that simplifies the design and authoring of complex clinical studies for biopharma and medical device customers, announced a $15 million investment led by Section 32 with participation from Northpond Ventures, Polaris Partners and Zetta Ventures.

The Faro platform is the first Integrated Clinical Development Environment that simplifies the design and authoring of complex clinical studies by harnessing the power of smart digital protocols. The platform provides in-context and intuitive insights during the authoring process to help Faro customers optimize clinical study designs. Faro customers can use deep automation to eliminate inconsistencies and errors through standardization of protocol content that automatically links and propagates to all applicable study documents.

"Biopharma has been moving towards data-driven and standardized clinical development processes to drive the efficient, effective and high-quality delivery of new therapeutics," stated Scott Chetham, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Faro. "Our platform can help amplify and accelerate biopharma's existing investments in Transcelerate's Common Protocol Template, Digital Data Flow, Content Reuse and other initiatives."

"The speed, efficiency, accuracy and transparency offered by Faro's easy-to-use workflows will transform the clinical development process from a highly manual process to one that is fully digital," said Ross Jaffe, M.D., co-founder of Faro. "The Faro platform enables the design and optimization of clinical studies in a fraction of the time and with much less labor than is possible using the existing text-based approach."

"In the push to digitize clinical trials, a solution focused on the upfront design of protocols that simplifies, automates and unlocks next-generation features like adaptive trial design is a critical industry need. The Faro platform answers this need, unlocking time, cost and risk savings for Faro's industry-leading pharma and medical device customers," said Andy Harrison, Managing Partner at Section 32.

Following this Series A investment, the company has raised a total of $18.3 million. Section 32 Managing Partner Andy Harrison will join Faro's Board of Directors as part of this financing.

The company will use this additional funding to extend the capabilities of its platform as well as expand commercialization of its solutions for the life sciences ecosystem.

Celebrating 185 years of care: Watsons continues to champion women’s health and wellness

At Watsons, women’s health and wellness are at the heart of its commitment to supporting women at every stage of life. Today’s modern woman rarely fits into just one role. She moves between different priorities, responsibilities and routines, often balancing several at once. With so much to juggle, having someone to turn to for trusted health guidance can make a difference. At Watsons, pharmacists serve as Health Besties who are there to listen, answer questions and guide women toward choices that fit their needs. By making health guidance part of the everyday Watsons experience, they help make conversations about women’s health more approachable. This approach builds on 185 years of A.S. Watson Group’s experience in health and beauty retail, bringing its long-standing legacy of care into the way Watsons supports women today. Supporting her health at every stage There is no single definition of what being “well” looks like. Women have different health and wellness priorities depending on their lifestyles, concerns and stages of life, and finding the right solutions can sometimes feel overwhelming. Watsons brings together a wide range of products and services to support women’s changing health and wellness needs, with health at the core of the experience. From vitamins and supplements that support everyday nutrition to prescription and over-the-counter medicines, women can find support for both everyday and more specific health needs. Free consultations and vaccination services also encourage women to take a more proactive approach to their health. These needs extend beyond health alone, with skin care, hair care, personal care and beauty essentials also supporting the different ways women care for themselves. “At Watsons, we understand that women’s wellness is personal and constantly evolving. Her needs can change depending on her lifestyle, her priorities and the stage of life she is in. We want to make it easier for every woman to take care of herself by giving her access to trusted health, wellness, beauty and personal care solutions all in one place,” said Sharon Decapia, senior assistant vice president for marketing, public relations and sustainability at Watsons Philippines. Celebrating eight years of more with Watsons Club Having access to the right solutions is one thing; getting more value from every Watsons visit is another. For women who rely on Watsons for the everyday essentials that help them take care of themselves, Watsons Club adds another layer of value to the experience, with exclusive rewards, savings and benefits available in stores and online. As Watsons Club celebrates its eighth anniversary, members have even more reasons to celebrate. For eight years, Watsons Club has been part of members’ everyday health, wellness, beauty and personal care journeys, giving them more ways to enjoy their Watsons experience. For women navigating different routines and priorities, these member benefits offer additional ways to make everyday self-care and wellness more rewarding. For its anniversary, Watsons Club is offering more rewards and exclusive benefits for members. Members can look for green tags across Watsons stores to enjoy exclusive rewards. Being a member means getting more out of every Watsons visit. One way members can celebrate is through the Watsons Club Anniversary E-Raffle. Members can earn one e-raffle entry for every P1,000 spent at Watsons for a chance to win a three-day, two-night wellness retreat at COMO Shambhala Estate in Ubud, Bali. Watsons e-gift vouchers from Giftaway are also up for grabs for 185 winners. Members can also earn eight times the Watsons Club points on weekends when they spend at least P1,000 in a single transaction on eligible purchases at Watsons stores, through the Watsons app or at watsons.com.ph.
