Launching GLP-1 Clinical Tracking: glp1.bio1up.com

I’m excited to announce the launch of my new biotech project: glp1.bio1up.com, a site dedicated to tracking GLP-1 clinical trials. I wanted to share some thoughts on what inspired this endeavor.

The Problem: Keeping Up with Medical Innovation

I’ve been working on new approaches to a problem I’ve felt for a long time: how do we keep up with medical innovation when it moves faster than we can follow?

My background is a mix of medicine (MD) and computer science. I previously built online education, but I increasingly felt that courses aren’t the right form factor for tracking fast-moving areas. I used to say that we were carefully managing a “portfolio of half-lives” in our courses. Physiology courses decayed very slowly, gene therapy changed much more rapidly, and AI courses often had half-lives measured in days!

Building Tools Instead of Courses

So I’m focusing on building tools instead—ones that continuously draw from the stream of rapidly-changing information. I’m focused on biotech, with my first project being a dashboard to track the GLP-1 clinical trial landscape.

It’s free to try at glp1.bio1up.com. It pulls daily from ClinicalTrials.gov and other sources, and shows what’s changing:

Timeline shifts and status updates
Results including efficacy and safety signals
Competitive pipeline
Emerging mechanisms
Trial locations and enrollment
…and more

What’s Next

This is a project I’m excited to continue building on and it’s still evolving. If you work in this space or follow it closely, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback on what would make it more useful.

Expect to see new, more flexible ways of exploring the data in the near future. Mining for signal is challenging, but I think there are better ways than what exist right now.
