System and Method for Matching Patients with Clinical Trials

摘要

The current invention discloses improved systems and processes for increasing clinical trial enrollment. Information for a clinical trial is received, such as the disease or condition under investigation and the pharmaceutical, device, or therapy under investigation and stored as a clinical trial record. Patient relevant sections and keywords are extracted from the clinical trial record. Sections and keywords within the clinical trial record are mapped to more common layman keywords. An article is composed based on the clinical trial record. The composed article is published and pushed to various outlets with an embedded tracking unique identifier for each outlet. Click interaction with the composed article is monitored. Upon click interaction with the article, the embedded link leads the patient to a clinical trial enrollment inquiry destination. The source outlet for the patient clinical trial enrollment contact is determined by lookup with the embedded identifier. The patient is contacted for follow up on possible clinical trial enrollment where additional acceptance criteria questions may be posed or he or she is notified of clinical trial eligibility.
