What is Watson for Clinical Trial Matching?
Using natural language processing and the analysis of unstructured and structured data to analyze both patient records and trial inclusion/exclusion criteria, Watson for Clinical Trial Matching enables oncologists to quickly review a list of potential trials for every patient, while supporting the clinical trial office in reaching enrollment numbers.

How can AI help to improve the cancer clinical trial recruitment process?
There is good news. An artificial intelligence-based clinical trial recruitment support system can help you change the game by:
Using natural language processing to understand both structured and unstructured patient data
Automating manual steps to help increase the speed of trial identification
Helping find viable trial options for each patient
Enabling a boost in clinical trial enrollment to meet recruitment goals and support the advancement of cancer treatments
Learning and improving over time
Increasing efficiency through connections across multidimensional, siloed sources
In oncology and clinical trial coordination, you know the odds
of adults with cancer participate in clinical trials
of US clinical trials fail to meet recruitment timelines
cancer research trials falter due to low patient recruitment
The frustration of recruiting patients for cancer research begins with data — and ends with AI.
