MedaSystems Secures Additional Seed Financing to Advance Its AI-Driven Workflow Platform for Expanded Access and Investigator-Initiated Studies

Insider Brief

  • MedaSystems, a SaaS platform for Expanded Access (EA) and Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS), secured additional funding from Debiopharm Innovation Fund, Nina Capital, and Young Sohn, reinforcing confidence in its AI-driven workflow solutions.
  • The platform streamlines patient access to investigational therapies, automates workflows for pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers, and enhances real-world data (RWD) capture for regulatory submissions.
  • MedaSystems is expanding its AI and automation capabilities to improve collaboration between physicians, life sciences teams, and regulatory partners, making pre-approval treatment access more efficient.

PRESS RELEASE — MedaSystems, the leading SaaS platform for Expanded Access (EA) and Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS), has announced additional funding from existing investors, Debiopharm Innovation Fund, Nina Capital, and Young Sohn, a co-founder of Veeva Systems. This investment underscores confidence in MedaSystems’ ability to modernize pre-approval access pathways through its AI-driven workflow platform. By streamlining Expanded Access and IIS workflows, MedaSystems helps pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers efficiently manage requests, improve patient access, and capture real-world data (RWD) to support evidence generation and regulatory submissions.

“This funding reflects the growing industry need for cloud-powered solutions that solve a historically manual challenge in Expanded Access and Investigator-Initiated Studies. With advances in AI and automation, our platform is poised to streamline other domain-critical workflows in life sciences,” said Brian Irwin, CEO of MedaSystems. “This investment fuels the advancement of new platform capabilities in support of our life sciences partners’ mission to deliver pre-approval treatments efficiently. Expanded Access programs, in the form of compassionate use and physician-led studies, are emerging sources of critical real-world data and directly support drug development and label expansion.”

MedaSystems’ SaaS platform automates and streamlines Expanded Access and Investigator-Initiated Study processes, enabling faster responses to treatment inquiries and enhancing real-world data capture for regulatory submissions. The platform provides a centralized hub for healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory partners to collaborate seamlessly. Physicians can efficiently manage patient requests in-app, working alongside their teams and pharmacists, while life sciences companies can integrate external partners, such as contract research organizations (CROs), to ensure coordinated communication, workflow automation, and expedited treatment delivery.

“I believe in the power of health technology to improve patient outcomes and streamline operational processes for both health system providers and life science companies,” said Young Sohn, Board Director. “MedaSystems is delivering speed and efficiency to this paradigm through its platform, the first of its kind in life sciences.”
