“This May, we attended the 2026 Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) conference, an energizing and insightful experience for everyone involved. We had the opportunity to present the TrialX Space Health Platform, which powers TRISH HERMES, and engage directly with flight surgeons, space medicine physicians, and experts who have supported human spaceflight for decades. The conversations provided valuable perspectives on real-world needs across medical operations, crew health monitoring, research data collection, offline care workflows, and future deep-space exploration.
A major theme throughout the conference was the growing role of AI agents in supporting healthcare beyond low Earth orbit, particularly as missions become longer, more autonomous, and increasingly distant from Earth-based medical teams. These discussions reinforced the importance of building integrated platforms that combine clinical workflows, research protocols, sensor data, medical inventory management, offline capability, and intelligent decision support.
At our booth, we brought these concepts to life through interactive demonstrations, including an AI agent leading a Zero Gravity Workout and “Rocky,” our alien bot, engaging visitors in conversation. The enthusiasm and feedback from the community were incredibly encouraging and sparked many new ideas for how TrialX can continue supporting the future of space health and human exploration.”

What We’re Hearing From The Clinical Trials Space
“OCT East brought together a wide range of conversations about the future of clinical trial operations, from AI and decentralized research models to growing pressure on study teams to do more with fewer internal resources. One area that continues to gain attention is patient recruitment technology and the need for more connected, measurable approaches to engagement and enrollment. It was great discussing how organizations are looking beyond individual recruitment tactics toward more centralized strategies — including AI-powered trial matching, patient-friendly pre-screening experiences, stronger referral workflows, and having a single command center to manage recruitment vendors, campaigns, sites, and performance analytics in one place.
As studies become more complex, the ability to unify recruitment operations and gain real-time visibility into what’s actually driving enrollment is becoming increasingly important. We’d love to connect and share more about how TrialX can help streamline your patient recruitment initiatives.”
Beth Dickson, VP, Business Development
This May, our team was also in London as Executive Sponsors of the Patients as Partners Europe conference. The event brought together important conversations around patient engagement, clinical trial access, and the evolving role of technology in research. During this year’s agenda session, our Executive Chairman, Eric Sandor, shared insights and best practices in patient recruitment technology — highlighting how digital tools and AI can help patients discover the right clinical trials and create more personalized engagement experiences. Our Co-founder & CEO, Sharib Khan, also brought a unique and energizing element to the conference by leading an interactive yoga session, offering attendees a refreshing moment of balance and wellness amid the busy event schedule.

🎥 RECENT WEBINAR
Patients searching for clinical trials are often met with dense, technical language designed for scientific audiences, not for people trying to decide whether a study is right for them. If you’re part of a pharma, academic medical center, or patient advocacy organization looking to make trial information more accessible, we invite you to watch this webinar where we explore how AI, guided by thoughtful prompt design, can turn technical listings into clear, patient-friendly summaries—without losing accuracy. You will also hear perspectives on using AI simplified listings from Krista Goedel of Sanofi.
❇️ PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
We’re honored to power the ALS Network’s Trial Finder, an AI-driven platform that helps individuals easily discover clinical trials for ALS and related motor neuron diseases. The tool offers a personalized, user-friendly experience with guided questions, smart filters, and clear trial summaries—connecting patients to relevant studies and keeping them informed through a volunteer registry.

Recently, we introduced new enhancements to streamline our volunteer search and outreach. The improved interface enables more intuitive filtering with multi-select conditions and flexible location targeting, while saved searches allow teams to quickly reuse selection criteria. Users can now create volunteer lists for targeted outreach and track campaign performance with detailed engagement metrics, helping study teams identify, reach, and engage participants more efficiently.
We are proud to support Montefiore Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati in building the FORETELL-Epilepsy app, an NIH-funded initiative to advance seizure forecasting and improve patient care. The app enables adults living with epilepsy to contribute real-world data through daily diaries of seizures, mood, and stress, and integrates with wearable devices to track heart rate and sleep. It is now live on app stores, with enrollment underway. We are glad and honored that the investigators and study team felt supported throughout the process, sharing: “I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for the time and effort TrialX has dedicated to supporting us with the apps and troubleshooting whenever issues arise.”
📺 MEDIA & PRESS
Our Co-founder & CEO, Sharib Khan, was featured in Clinical Research News in the article “Space Health Research Could Rack Up Many Earthly Dividends.” The piece highlights how our space health research innovations – developed in collaboration with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), are enabling the collection of vital human health data from commercial spaceflights, with implications that extend beyond astronauts to advance clinical research on Earth.
