Inovalon, a US-based software solutions company, has unveiled an innovative AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize patient recruitment in clinical trials. The Clinical Research Patient Finder leverages artificial intelligence to address one of the most persistent challenges in clinical research - identifying and enrolling suitable trial participants.
Advanced Technology Integration
The platform seamlessly integrates with electronic health records (EHR) systems to provide real-time subject detection and continuous data monitoring capabilities. By utilizing study-specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the system delivers instantaneous patient-matching functionality, significantly reducing the manual workload traditionally associated with pre-screening processes.
Key Features and Benefits
The Clinical Research Patient Finder incorporates several cutting-edge features designed to enhance recruitment efficiency. The platform automatically alerts trial teams when new eligible participants are identified and flags potential recruitment risks, enabling proactive management of enrollment goals. Additionally, research teams gain access to the Inovalon Research Network, a pre-integrated network of trial sites with established EHR connections.
"Patient recruitment remains one of the most complex and time-intensive challenges in clinical research," states Eron Kelly, President of Inovalon. "Clinical Research Patient Finder gives research sites real-time visibility into eligible patients within their own electronic health records, enabling them to identify and engage participants more efficiently."
Impact on Clinical Research
The platform serves multiple stakeholders in the clinical research ecosystem, including trial sponsors, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical organizations, and research sites. By automating critical recruitment processes, the tool aims to:
- Minimize manual errors in patient screening
- Enhance site performance monitoring
- Ensure comprehensive identification of eligible patients
- Improve trial diversity
- Accelerate the delivery of innovative therapies to patients
The solution represents a significant advancement in clinical trial technology, backed by Inovalon's extensive experience in healthcare data analytics. The Maryland-based company's solutions are currently utilized by more than 50,000 customers worldwide, demonstrating its established presence in the healthcare technology sector.
