The problem and why we chose it

Finding a relevant clinical trial requires comparing a patient’s diagnosis, biomarkers, treatment history, medicines and laboratory results against lengthy eligibility criteria. Patients and caregivers often have photographs of paper reports, while trial information is scattered across technical registry records.

We chose this problem to make that information easier to understand and turn it into useful questions for the treating oncologist.

Our solution

TrialBridge converts report and prescription images into an editable patient profile using Gemma 4. Users review the extracted information and its supporting quotes before searching for trials.

The application retrieves recruiting studies with recruiting or not-yet-recruiting sites in India from ClinicalTrials.gov. It filters candidates by age and sex, performs an initial screening, and checks the remaining trials against their individual eligibility rules.

Results include explanations, supporting patient facts, unresolved questions, Indian hospital locations and trial contacts. Users can also request a detailed check of trials set aside during the initial screening.

What makes it useful

• Starts from report photographs rather than requiring a structured medical record.
