Problem
Most patients never hear about clinical trials that could be relevant to their condition, and when they do, complex medical language and eligibility criteria make it difficult to determine whether they qualify. Up to 80% of trials fail to meet enrollment deadlines, which delays access to potentially life-saving treatments for patients.
Solution
Cure Link provides a patient-centered platform that matches individuals to clinical trials using a smart matching engine that analyzes user responses against trial criteria. The process starts with simple, jargon-free questions covering condition, postcode, travel distance, and personal health details, after which the system identifies the most relevant studies. Users can optionally upload medical documents, which are processed with text recognition to refine matching accuracy. A dedicated team member then follows up to explain options and guide the patient through next steps, ensuring no one navigates the enrollment process without support.
Target Audience
Primary users are patients in the UK seeking clinical trial opportunities for their condition, as well as healthy volunteers interested in participating in research studies.
