SCOPE 2026, Simplified Patient Recruitment Management, AI Powered Clinical Trial Finders and More…
The 17th Annual SCOPE Summit once again brought together leaders across clinical operations, digital health, patient engagement, and data innovation to shape the future of clinical research. This year, the tone was clear: the industry is moving from digital experimentation to operational execution. AI is now embedded across patient matching, feasibility, enrollment forecasting, and site optimization—with an emphasis on scalability, governance, and measurable impact.
Recruitment is increasingly viewed as a strategic function integrated early into trial design, while hybrid models and remote technologies have become standard practice. The consistent message across sessions was unmistakable: integration—not more tools—will define the next era of efficient, patient-centric clinical research.
As proud sponsors, the TrialX team was at Booth #225—Wes Martz (Senior Director of Client Services), Beth Dickson (VP, Business Development), and Brandon Ramos (Sales Development Representative)—connecting with industry leaders and sharing how our enterprise patient recruitment platform and remote data solutions support modern trials. And yes, our celebrity face mashup activity drew a crowd, adding a fun spotlight moment to meaningful conversations.

❇️ PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
We recently supported a Top-5 pharma in successfully reaching their enrollment goal for a clinical trial investigating celiac disease. We’re proud to enable inclusive clinical trials by helping sponsors and study teams engage participants in 14 languages across 18 countries. Soon expanding to 40 countries, we are equipping teams with the tools to reach the right participants, in the right language, from local to global studies. Learn how we’re breaking down barriers to boost trial participation.
We are excited to partner with TSC Alliance, an internationally recognized nonprofit, to power their AI-based clinical trial finder. The platform helps individuals and families affected by tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) discover relevant studies faster and stay informed through a volunteer registry. The personalized, user-friendly tool guides users through tailored questions, smart filters, and clear trial summaries—making clinical research more accessible. TSC is a genetic condition that causes tumors in multiple organs, most often affecting the brain. Learn more.
We are honored to power the AI-based clinical trial finder for ALK Positive, a patient-driven organization dedicated to improving the lives of ALK-positive patients worldwide. As Dr. Ken Culver, Executive Director and Medical Director at ALK Positive, shared: “Through our collaboration with TrialX, we’re empowering patients and families with a trusted resource to find and understand trials that may be right for them — helping transform what can often feel like an overwhelming search into an informed and hopeful journey.” Read the full press release.
Space missions increasingly require health monitoring in environments with limited connectivity and extreme conditions. Upcoming missions such as Artemis II underscore this reality, revealing the limitations of traditional, Earth-dependent tools. TrialX Space Health Systems is an offline-capable, AI-powered platform designed to collect and analyze diverse health datasets—from wearables to genomics—even without connectivity. Remote health research remains possible, wherever the mission goes. Learn more.
📺 MEDIA & PRESS
Our Co-founder & CEO, Sharib Khan, was recently interviewed by Clinical Research News and featured in their online article – Space Health Research Could Rack Up Many Earthly Dividends. The article sheds light on how our space health research innovations, in collaboration with Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), are helping collect vital human-health data from commercial spaceflights, not just for astronauts, but with far-reaching implications for clinical research on Earth. Read the full story.
🛰️ RECENT WEBINAR
As commercial spaceflight expands, Earth-dependent imaging continues to face real constraints, including microgravity-driven physiological changes, communication delays and limited bandwidth. In a recent TrialX webinar, we explored how imaging systems can operate autonomously in zero-connectivity, high-risk environments and what these advances mean for remote and decentralized care on Earth. The discussion is relevant for teams working across space health, diagnostics, telemedicine, and clinical research.
RECENT CURETALKS 
🧬 FEATURED CLINICAL STUDIES
Powered by TrialX
Better Sleep, Brighter Minds: Indiana University researchers are testing an online relaxation skills program for youth ages 11–13 experiencing mild stress. Parents and children participate together in weekly virtual sessions over eight weeks. The study aims to see whether teaching families relaxation strategies can support healthier sleep habits and mental wellness in early adolescence.
Enhancing Patient-Centered Care through Video: Penn Medicine researchers are testing how short health videos are best understood by patients. Participants watch a 90-second video and complete a brief survey to help identify most engaging ways to share health information.
Social Behaviors & Quality of Life in Parkinson’s: Researchers are exploring how Parkinson’s disease affects social behavior and day-to-day quality of life. Adults ages 40 and older complete an online study to help compare social experiences and well-being between people with Parkinson’s and those without, aiming to better understand the real-world impact of the condition.
BrainWeighve Weight Loss App: Researchers are testing a smartphone app designed to help teens (ages 14–18) manage overeating and support healthier weight habits. The app teaches coping strategies for stress and food cravings, with the goal of improving eating behaviors, motivation, and overall well-being through an accessible, technology-based approach.
