When Manuri Gunawardena was a medical student she witnessed patients who had exhausted all traditional medical options, yet struggled to find and access potentially life saving clinical trials.

As a co-founder and CEO of HealthMatch, she aims to connect sick patients with clinical trials of potential cutting edge treatments. The platform applies machine learning and artificial intelligence to dramatically accelerate patient recruitment to clinical trials.

HealthMatch has raised $1.3 million in capital from Australian and U.S. industry leaders and won the inaugural Australian version of TechCrunch Startup Battlefield.
