Using AI in clinical trial design and conduct

Using AI in clinical trial design and conduct

- Clinical trials are a critical part of getting new treatments to patients, but they're notoriously slow, expensive, and complicated. Did you know that the average clinical trial takes five years from planning to execution? Five years. Yeah. That's half a decade. And that's if everything goes smoothly, which spoiler alert, it usually doesn't. Clunky study design and scattershot site identification all contribute to the slow process. Not to mention people like to ghost halfway through. But guess what's helping? AI. It's actually changing how trials are both designed and conducted so that they don't get stuck in slow motion. Let's break it down. First up, trial design. AI scans through tons of clinical trial data, then spots what likely contributed to a study succeeding or where things may have have gone wrong. Then it helps design more resilient, adaptive trials. If interesting data rolls in mid study, no problem. You can use AI to be responsive and tweak key factors like the number…
