Our take
Drug development is a critical component of health care. Reducing costs, improving discovery processes, and accelerating drug development are all critical to success in the drug pipeline. Using human-centric data and ML-anchored computation, Valo Health’s integrated drug development platform, known as Opal, improves outcomes in drug development, by leveraging advanced data analysis.
Drug development entails a variety of steps including molecule discovery, clinical development, and target discovery. With the vast amount of data that is generated, a system like Opal incentivizes investment in outcomes that are more likely to correspond with effective treatments. This reduces the number and expense of clinical trials needed to demonstrate drug effectiveness.
There are a variety of competitors in the data-driven drug discovery field, including insitro, Atomwise, and Exscietia, but this vast market should still offer enough space for Valo Health to grow. In 2021, the company experienced a set-back in the surprise calling off of a merger that would have seen it go public, but despite this has continued to operate well and advance towards its goal of transforming the drug development process.
