Patients are the <strong>Most</strong> Significant Stakeholders<br />

<strong>The</strong> management has nurtured a robust company culture<br />

where the vital traits like resilience and risk taking attitude<br />

are always encouraged. For them, bigger the challenge is,<br />

more bigger is the opportunity. <strong>The</strong>y never bog down with<br />

challenges rather turn them into an opportunity to grow<br />

further. <strong>The</strong>ir ability to forecast changes in industry and<br />

mitigate risks are deeply rooted on their culture which<br />

always assists them to turn out with more shine even after<br />

Judicious Leadership<br />

Over the years, Grace Castillo-Soyao has taken various<br />

executive business and leadership programs from the<br />

Rotman School of Business, University of Toronto, the<br />

Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania and has a<br />

rich corporate experience of over 20 years in<br />

pharmaceutical vertical. She is the Founder and CEO of<br />

Self Care Catalysts and is driving this organization towards<br />

the path of glory with her astute business mind and adept<br />

leadership skills.<br />

Grace considers herself a Citizen Scientist. For years, she<br />

had wondered how drugs are approved based on a narrow<br />

set of data and evidence and yet when patients experience<br />

illness and health in the real world, there are many other<br />

variables and factors that need to be factored. According to<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 />
