Clinical Trial Scheduling Automation

Your AI agent takes over subject scheduling for research visits, procedures, and inpatient stays—eliminating manual coordination and reducing errors.

As a Clinical Research Coordinator, you juggle Excel spreadsheets, Outlook calendars, and endless email threads to schedule subjects. Managing protocol windows and confirming appointments across teams is tedious and prone to mistakes. A single oversight can mean protocol deviations, delayed timelines, and audit headaches.

Automates scheduling of research subjects for visits, procedures, and inpatient stays, ensuring protocol compliance and reducing manual coordination for clinical research teams.

What this replaces

Check protocol windows in REDCap for each subject visit
Send appointment options via Outlook email to subjects and staff
Update shared Google Calendar and track confirmations manually
Reschedule missed appointments using Excel and email threads
Compile weekly visit schedules in Microsoft Word for team review

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In clinical research, coordinators spend hours every week scheduling subjects for study visits, procedures, and inpatient stays. The process involves cross-referencing protocol windows, updating calendars in Outlook, and tracking confirmations via email. Manual scheduling leads to missed appointments, protocol violations, and wasted staff time. Without automation, the risk of costly errors and delays grows with every study.

If you keep ignoring it

Protocol deviations trigger compliance issues, delay study milestones, and frustrate both research subjects and staff. Missed appointments can result in audit findings and additional regulatory reporting.
