›What is HealthKey?
HealthKey is an AI platform for identifying candidates for clinical trials from electronic health records. Teams upload inclusion and exclusion criteria, and HealthKey scans patient records for matches. Researchers can review the matches alongside evidence from the records, with eligible patients delivered by email or shown in a dashboard.

Not for
- Individual clinicians who are not involved in clinical research, because the product is aimed at research organizations.
- Patients seeking direct trial enrollment, because HealthKey does not provide a consumer enrollment portal.
- Very small sites with fewer than 100 patients in their EHR, which may not have enough records to benefit.
