Call me an old fart, but I think startups like these are good to have. No offense to any of the YC founders, but I think the variety of YC companies that are operating sometimes makes me feel that the "idea bar" is quite low.

Though, I think this EDC/clinical trails data collection is a great place to innovate in. Having worked as a software engineer in a CRO before, I know how slow the development lifecycles are and sometimes even the end users are very slow to adopt. A startup can shake things up by pushing for better data collection and analysis techniques, more automation as well as better end to end phase management.
