NIH-developed AI algorithm matches potential volunteers to clinical trials

A team of researchers from NIH’s National Library of Medicine and National Cancer Institute developed an AI algorithm that could successfully identify relevant clinical trials for which a person is eligible and provide a summary that clearly explains how that person meets the criteria for study enrollment. The tool can help make it easier for both clinicians and patients to find and connect with the right clinical trial opportunities.
