Provides a clinical research data platform and related medical technologies. Limited article affiliation usage (one person), but the company has multiple employees. Referenced in research as well (e.g. https://www.researchprotocols.org/2019/6/e13464/). Believe they are in scope for ROR as we have several med tech companies similar to Castor and their involvement in research data production (e.g. https://ror.org/05x1fc249), as well as more general cases (e.g. https://ror.org/00jhae347).

Google Scholar affiliation usage: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ak4DHewAAAAJ; ORCID affiliation usage: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2475-6254 ; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5702-5856

I've seen both Arts and Kersloot use this affiliation, and possibly some of their coauthors, so it's more than just one person. And it is clearly directly involved in research activities through their product offering. So yes let's add this.
