Our History
Brothers Artem and Dmytro Horilyk discussed ways to improve pharmacovigilance processes. At the time, Artem worked as a pharmacovigilance specialist, and Dmytro questioned why literature screening was still performed manually. Their friend Myroslav proposed developing code to automate the process.
By August, the team completed the MVP and started reaching out to potential clients.
The company signed its first client in April, followed shortly by one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the region. In December, DrugCard received its first investments from Spain and Ukraine.
The first European clients joined from Germany, and the team began monitoring new countries.
The team started training AI models on real pharmacovigilance data and launched a PV service (1 specialist, 1 project, 1 country). By year-end: 10 clients, 30 countries, 10 team members.
The company introduced an LLM model for article categorization and global literature coverage. In December, the AI Case Intake module was released, automatically extracting adverse reaction data from unstructured text. By year-end: 22 team members, 48 clients, 55 countries covered.
DrugCard now operates in 100+ countries, processes over 1 million articles, and provides AI-based global assessment, regulatory intelligence, and safety database solutions. PV services: 3 specialists, 11 projects, and 21 countries.
