The premise
Matching patients to trials is a structured comparison task. AI can do the first pass; the research coordinator does the second.
What AI does well here
- Map patient facts to numbered inclusion/exclusion items.
- Flag missing data needed to make a decision.
- Rank trials by how many criteria match.
What AI cannot do
- Confirm the patient is actually a fit.
- Pull the patient's chart for missing data.
- Replace the IRB-approved screening process.
