AI Protocol Automation for Clinical Research

Free your research coordinators from endless protocol edits and repeated questions—your AI agent creates clear, actionable instructions in seconds.

You spend hours each week rewriting protocol guides in Word, answering the same consent questions over Outlook, and searching for the latest SOPs in SharePoint. As a clinical research manager, missed updates and inconsistent instructions lead to costly compliance errors and frustrated staff. The manual back-and-forth slows studies and puts your deadlines at risk.

An AI agent that generates, updates, and clarifies protocol instructions, consent procedures, and documentation for clinical research teams.

What this replaces

Rewrite protocol instructions in Word for every study update
Send repeated consent guidance via Outlook email threads
Explain documentation requirements individually over Zoom
Manually update SOP checklists in Excel
Answer protocol questions from staff in Microsoft Teams chats

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In clinical research, managers and coordinators waste valuable time updating protocol instructions, clarifying consent steps, and fielding repetitive staff questions. Most rely on email threads, Excel checklists, and scattered Word docs to communicate critical updates. This manual process leads to inconsistent guidance, missed regulatory changes, and preventable mistakes that jeopardize study timelines.

AI Agent FAQ

Yes. Upload sponsor-specific documents or templates, and the agent will generate instructions tailored to each protocol. It supports files from systems like Box, OneDrive, and Google Drive.

You control the source documents—when you upload revised protocols or SOPs, the agent uses the latest version. It never pulls from outdated files, ensuring your team always gets current guidance.

The agent references your uploaded materials and ICH-GCP standards, but you retain final responsibility for compliance. It does not replace regulatory review by your QA or compliance team.

You can connect document sources like SharePoint, Box, and Google Drive for easy access. Direct integration with CTMS platforms such as Medidata and Veeva is planned for future updates.

Currently, the agent processes English-language documents. Support for Spanish and French protocols is in development, with release targeted for Q4.
