CORTiX.io

What CORTiX.io does

CORTiX Limited (operating as CORTiX.io) is a private SaaS company founded in 2021 by Stijn van den Borne and headquartered in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, with a stated operating footprint across Asia-Pacific and beyond. It serves medical writers, medical affairs and pharmacovigilance teams in pharmaceutical and medical device companies, medical communications agencies, freelance medical writers, and academic/biomedical researchers. The platform targets high-friction tasks in the medical communications workflow: PubMed literature research, manuscript editing, reference pack generation for medical-legal-regulatory (MLR) review, and medical audio transcription. The company originated from mediPr, a medical communications agency that remains its parent company and primary validation environment for the product.

The product is organized into three core modules — CORTiX.io Research (PubMed retrieval, manuscript information extraction, document chat), CORTiX.io Editing (grammar, footnote, reference format, and abbreviation checking built by medical editors), and CORTiX.io Audio (medical-trained transcription with speaker diarization, currently English-only) — alongside supporting utilities including Find-That-Citation.com, the AI Reference Pack (Refpack) generator, and an Abbreviation Checker. The technology stack is built around a domain-trained AI model targeting medical terminology (drug names, biomarkers, clinical endpoints, scientific phrasing) and integrates with PubMed, Zotero, and Mendeley to anchor output in trusted literature. The company operates an explicit "HiTM (Human in The Middle)" framework that places trained medical experts in the AI workflow as active co-processors, and commits to a privacy posture of not storing user data or training on user content. DUB-DUB.ai is a wholly-owned sub-brand offering generic audio/video transcription, subtitle generation, and translation across 150+ languages at a flat $10/hour rate.

Revenue is generated entirely through a credit-based pay-as-you-go pricing model with no subscription requirement and no credit expiry. Credit bundles range from $10 (1,000 credits) at the Basic tier up to $500 (57,500 credits) at the Enterprise tier, with per-credit cost declining from ~$0.01 to ~$0.0087 across tiers; a free limited-use tier and a student plan sit alongside. Distribution is primarily product-led and self-serve via cortix.io and app.cortix.io, supported by a content-marketing blog targeting medical writing and pharma AI queries, with a direct contact pathway for business and enterprise tiers. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with 1–10 employees, and does not publicly report revenue.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• ['mediPr]coreOthers['mediPr] is the parent company of CORTiX.io. CORTiX.io is currently testing its AI tools using its parent company ['mediPr] for validation of the medical writing toolbox. ['mediPr] is described as a medical communications (medcomms) agency, and CORTiX.io originated from the medcomms agency context. The relationship is that of parent-subsidiary with operational integration for product validation.
• DUB-DUB.aicoreOthersDUB-DUB.ai (www.dub-dub.ai, pronounced 'Dub-Dub' or 'Dub dash Dub') is a product of CORTiX.io — a sister transcription and subtitle platform under the same company umbrella. While DUB-DUB.ai is a generic audio/video transcription tool (150+ languages, $10/hour flat rate, no AI training on user data) and CORTiX.io focuses on domain-specific medical transcription and writing, they share the same data privacy philosophy and are marketed together.
