Over the years, Grace Castillo-Soyao has taken various<br />
executive business and leadership programs from the<br />

her, big decisions related to healthcare are shaped mostly by<br />
data locked inside clinics and labs, despite the fact that 90%<br />
of care happens outside the clinical setting. She believes<br />
there are enormous types, format range of patient data that<br />
can be gleaned from actual patient experiences when they<br />
are not inside the physician clinics. <strong>The</strong>refore, to put<br />
patients at the forefront of any healthcare development, she<br />
established Self Care Catalysts.<br />
In 2014, Grace transformed a patient research company into<br />
a digital health and data company, building an eco-system<br />
that finally connects various healthcare stakeholders to<br />
