Precision health with generative AI

- Did you know that nearly half of the 500,000 clinical trials for new therapies fail to reach enrollment targets? And at the same time, only 3% of US patients eligible for trials successfully find them. This inefficiency leads to billions of dollars in waste and prevents access to potentially new cures for patients. So what's behind this? Well, it turns out that matching patients to clinical trials is incredibly difficult. There could be dozens of trials per condition, and each trial has unique, complicated eligibility criteria, and it's all written up in a very complicated medical jargon. And at the same time, clinical trial researchers struggle to find participants often because it requires a deep analysis of candidates medical data just to determine if they qualify. So what if we apply generative AI to this problem? After all, because models like GPT-4 can understand medical concepts and they can reason over vast amounts of data, they might be the perfect tool to find potential…
