SelectIQ

The pace of progress in modern medicine is currently controlled by one thing: how quickly can you fill a clinical trial?---There is no shortage of novel molecules, there is no shortage of petri dish experiments, and there is no shortage of incentive to bring a drug to market. The bottleneck is clinical trials, and the bottleneck on almost every clinical trial is patient recruitment.---Most trial recruitment tools are sugar on top of Facebook Ads. SelectIQ is instead helping patients learn about clinical trials the way they overwhelmingly prefer to: from their doctor.* >70% of doctors want to tell their patients about clinical trials* <5% of doctors have ever referred a patient to a clinical trialWhy the gap? Doctors are notoriously overworked, experiencing record levels of burnout, and get to spend just a few minutes with each patient. Understanding which trials are available and whether their patient meets the complex eligibility criteria is a tall order. SelectIQ removes this burden from healthcare providers.---We’re building a Provider Activation Platform that enables trial sites to build, maintain, and leverage a network of referring healthcare providers, ensuring every patient is aware of every treatment option available to them. The first piece is automating chart review, the process by which a medical professional reads the patient’s record to assess whether they’re worth contacting about a study.

If we succeed, we will dramatically accelerate the pace and reduce the cost-risk profile of drug development. Our loved ones will have better treatment options available when they inevitably need them.
