Pitch Narrative Framework
The Origin Story
As a patient advocate, I've seen countless individuals struggle to find clinical trials that match their specific health conditions. The process is overwhelming, with over 450,000 studies listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, each with complex eligibility criteria written in medical jargon. I realized that patients were missing out on potentially life-changing opportunities due to the lack of a user-friendly platform that could simplify this process. That's why I created Clinical Trial Navigator, a mobile-first platform designed to help patients and caregivers discover, understand, and track eligibility for clinical trials relevant to their conditions.

Demo Narrative
Let me show you how Clinical Trial Navigator works. First, patients can import their health records or answer a structured questionnaire to generate a personalized profile. Our AI-powered matching engine then suggests relevant clinical trials, providing a clear explanation of the eligibility criteria and a percentage-based match score. Patients can save and organize their favorite trials, receive notifications when new trials become available, and even track their progress over time. Our platform also offers plain language summaries, comparison views, and FAQs to help patients make informed decisions about their care.
