Breaking Barriers in Clinical Trial Design: Insights from Faro Health CEO Scott Chetham

In this episode of The Uprising Show, Faro Health CEO and co-founder Scott Chetham shares his personal journey from Australia to San Diego and the founding story behind Faro. He discusses the systemic inefficiencies in clinical trial design—especially the continued dependence on outdated tools like Microsoft Word—and why the industry needs a smarter, more connected approach.

Scott explains how Faro is applying AI and automation to streamline protocol design, reduce trial costs, and improve patient experiences. He offers candid insight into the challenges of innovating within a highly regulated space, the real pain points pharma and hospital systems face, and what it takes to build a transformative SaaS business in healthcare.

Packed with real-world stories, expert commentary, and a touch of humor (including why he rarely talks cricket), this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of clinical trials, digital health, and the power of purpose-driven innovation.

 Tune in to hear Scott’s take on modernizing clinical research and leading with intention.
