Reduce patient burden. Accelerate clinical trials
Find out how Trial Sergeant helps research teams identify and minimize patient burden to improve recruitment and retention
Our Solution
Trial Sergeant is an AI-powered clinical trial optimization and acceleration solution that assesses the burden of a trial on patients and its impact on recruitment timelines.
Through structured data inputs and built-in analytics, we translate complex trial protocols into clear, actionable insights: from patient burden to optimization opportunities.
By enabling smarter protocol adjustments that accelerate recruitment and enrollment, our tools give sponsors, CROs, and research teams the visibility they need to design trials that work better for patients.
We provide the visibility needed to design trials that work better for patients
Quantify and compare patient burden across study arms or protocols
Visualize procedures, visits and timelines
Forecast recruitment delays linked to participant workload
Identify design adjustments that reduce time and patient burden
How Trial Sergeant Works
01
Input Your Trial Schedule
Enter your trial schedule, include procedures, visit structure, and frequency. The platform supports flexible inputs for both cycled and visit-based designs.
02
Analyze Patient Burden
The platform automatically generates a standardized participant Burden Score (0-100) from procedure intensity, visit frequency, and overall visit load, enabling comparisons across trial designs.
03
Visualize and Compare
Instant dashboards show trial performance across patient burden, visit efficiency, procedure mix, and site workload, with easy comparisons against standard-of-care (SOC) or alternative arms.
04
Project Recruitment Timelines
Our recruitment engine models how patient burden affects enrollment speed, estimating potential recruitment delays (in months and %) so you can plan proactively.
The Impact of Patient Burden
High patient burden (due to too many procedures, frequent visits, or intensive testing) can discourage participation and lead to dropouts.
By integrating operational analytics early in the design phase, Trial Sergeant helps teams design studies that are both scientifically sound and logistically achievable.
Reducing patient burden can support faster recruitment, better retention, and more meaningful patient participation.
