Our History

Meet the People Behind DrugCard 2
2019 — The idea for DrugCard was born.

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.
