Recruitment delays affect about 80% of clinical trials in the United States.
These delays slow down how fast new drugs and treatments can be developed.
They also raise costs, which total over $200 billion each year in pharmaceutical research.
Trials for rare diseases often stop because it is hard to find patients who meet the strict rules.
Data about patients is sometimes unclear or scattered, which makes this problem worse.
Clinical trials have also had trouble enrolling a wide variety of patients.
Lack of diversity can cause results to not work well for all ethnic groups, ages, and incomes.
It is tough to find and reach eligible patients from different backgrounds.
This difficulty is made worse by separated clinical data systems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) helps improve how clinical trials find and recruit patients.
AI tools have increased patient enrollment rates by up to 65%.
These tools can quickly review huge amounts of information to find patients suited for a trial.
One method combines AI and human experts to ensure the decisions are accurate.
For example, AI can read medical records from over 30 million patients to find people who were missed before.
This helps trials recruit more patients and include a wider variety of people.
AI can also predict trial outcomes with about 85% accuracy.
This helps sponsors and hospitals use resources better, save money, and finish trials faster.
AI can shorten trial times by 30–50% and cut costs by up to 40%.
Healthcare workers who manage trials can benefit from AI by finding patients faster, reducing paperwork, and increasing success.
AI also helps find patients who might not have been spotted with older methods.
Real-world data (RWD) includes health information collected outside traditional trials.
Examples include electronic health records, genetic data, images, patient lists, and insurance claims.
Adding RWD to trials gives a more complete and current view of patient health and treatment results.
Systems that mix RWD with trial data can cut recruitment delays by as much as 50%.
This is partly because RWD helps trial designers loosen strict rules when it makes sense.
It also supports trial methods that change based on ongoing data.
That way, the most suitable patients join the trial.
Some U.S. companies use AI with RWD to speed up recruitment by 40%.
They combine different types of data to make the search for patients and trial enrollment easier.
This approach also helps hospitals compare care quality and resource use with AI tools.
Healthcare administrators should use data standards like CDISC, FHIR, and IDMP.
These help share clinical and legal data smoothly while keeping patient privacy safe.
Rules like HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11 must be followed to protect patient information and prepare for audits.
One big problem is that healthcare and clinical systems are often separated.
This causes data to be stuck in silos.
It leads to manual work, mistakes, and higher costs for trials.
Connecting systems like electronic health records, trial management, and labs through interoperability can improve data sharing and trial speed.
Interoperability has four parts:
Trials that follow these principles can lower delays by up to 50%, improve data consistency by over 30%, and speed up regulatory submissions by 40–60%.
Some platforms combine key trial features into one system, cutting down manual work and errors.
Medical practices using interoperable systems get better views of trial progress.
This helps administrators and IT managers support recruitment and avoid delays.
Using AI to automate tasks in clinical trials can make administrative work faster and less prone to mistakes.
Tasks like site selection, patient screening, data entry, monitoring, and paperwork can be automated.
This frees up staff to focus on important teamwork.
For example, some AI tools find trial locations and investigators quicker, cutting the time to start a site and raising recruitment numbers.
Other tools can automate contract writing and negotiation to speed up activation.
AI also helps watch for safety problems by using digital signs with 90% accuracy.
This allows teams to respond quickly and keep patients safer.
Cloud and mixed IT setups provide flexible, rule-following ways to handle trial data and tasks.
Healthcare IT managers can use these to stay ready for audits and keep to regulations.
Combining automation, interoperability, and AI makes trials work better.
This helps medical administrators handle limited resources and patient care needs.
In the U.S., healthcare has many different data sources.
Using these technologies helps clinical research move faster, cost less, and include more kinds of patients.
Healthcare administrators need to adopt AI and data integration to manage changes and support better patient care.
BEKhealth uses a human-in-the-loop model that combines AI-driven patient matching with expert human review, ensuring faster and more accurate recruitment without sacrificing trust.
BEKhealth’s ontology decodes medical language across 30 million records, enabling actionable matches that accelerate trial enrollment and increase access for overlooked patients.
AI helps unlock rare disease recruitment by identifying eligible patients whose diagnoses are often obscured, thereby increasing the chances of trial success.
AI-powered patient matching addresses the complexities of data and protocol demands that traditional methods fail to handle, thereby enhancing recruitment efficiency.
AI unlocks hidden insights from unstructured patient data, turning overlooked details into valuable information that can aid in clinical research.
AI resolves strict criteria, tight timelines, and diversity issues in recruitment, significantly reducing the delays faced by clinical trials.
The integration of AI and Real-World Data improves patient matching and enhances diversity while accelerating enrollment, effectively addressing traditional recruitment challenges.
BEKhealth’s AI outperforms other leading medical AI technologies like Google and Amazon, particularly in patient-matching capabilities.
The BEKnetwork connects healthcare sites to sponsors and trials, facilitating the identification and matching of patients to clinical research opportunities.
BEKhealth equips healthcare organizations with the tools and support needed to rapidly find and match patients to clinical research studies, enhancing overall recruitment efforts.
