Product rationale
Valuable trial information, difficult to navigate.
ClinicalTrials.gov contains valuable public trial information, but its search and record structure can be difficult to navigate and interpret.
This exploration examines what a more accessible, AI assisted registry experience could look like — for professionals who work with trials, and for patients and caregivers trying to find relevant ones.
Two experiences
One registry, two very different users.
Professional experience
For clinical operations, feasibility, researchers, healthcare professionals, and industry users.
Public experience
For patients, caregivers, and people trying to understand or locate relevant trials.
Neither group has been validated as the primary persona.
