Verana Trial Connect

Verana Trial Connect is a HIPAA-compliant patient recruitment platform developed by Verana Health for clinical trial sponsors and CROs. It uses real-world data (RWD) sourced from electronic health records (EHR) and AI-based algorithms to identify and pre-screen eligible patients for clinical trials, with the goal of reducing enrollment timelines and lowering the administrative burden on trial sites.

The platform processes both structured EHR data (such as diagnosis codes) and unstructured data (such as free-text clinician notes) to match patients against trial inclusion and exclusion criteria. Predictive analytics and machine learning models further refine patient matching by factoring in prior clinical encounters, proximity to trial sites, past trial participation, and other clinical characteristics.

Core Capabilities

• AI-driven search across structured and unstructured EHR data to identify patients who meet protocol criteria, including those who might be missed through manual chart review
• Automated pre-screening process that reduces manual chart review requirements for site staff
• Predictive modeling to identify patient populations and geographic regions most likely to participate in a given trial
• Machine learning models that assess patient likelihood of eligibility and participation based on clinical history, site distance, and prior trial experience
• Monthly data refreshes to maintain an up-to-date patient pool

Platform Features

• User-friendly interface designed for quick patient review and decision-making by site staff
• Note-taking and documentation tools to support site staff workflow
• Ability to track historical patient data for deeper clinical insights
• Pre-screening logs that can be exported for sponsor documentation purposes
• Predictive analytics intended to reduce screen failures and shorten trial timelines

Implementation and Operational Considerations

• No additional site contracts, data sharing agreements, or software installations are required to deploy the platform
• Designed to be operationalized quickly with minimal setup burden for trial sites
• Intended to allow clinical sites to redirect staff time toward executing study visits rather than administrative pre-screening tasks

Verana Trial Connect is positioned for use by sponsors and CROs seeking a data-driven approach to patient recruitment that supports patient diversity goals and accelerates time to first patient screening. The platform draws on Verana Health's existing real-world data infrastructure, which includes data from specialty registries such as the IRIS Registry and Axon Registry.
