The Next Step Toward Clinical Trial Participation: Using AI to Generate Effective Prescreeners
About This Webinar
Clinical trial recruitment websites aim to help potential participants take the next step toward joining a study. Often, that next step is prescreening. An effective prescreener can help identify whether a study may be a good fit, while reducing referrals of people who are unlikely to be eligible.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how thoughtful prompt design can be used to create effective AI-generated prescreeners—turning complex eligibility criteria into practical, patient-friendly questions and making prescreener development faster and more scalable.
For study sponsors, clinical research professionals, and patient advocacy groups, this session from TrialX offers practical approaches for using AI to create more effective prescreeners.
