About HealthKey
Summary
HealthKey builds an AI-powered patient identification platform for clinical trial sites. It connects to a clinic's existing electronic health records, encodes each trial's eligibility criteria, and automatically prescreens patients against those criteria, replacing the manual chart reviews that coordinators do today. The result is a ranked, evidence-backed list of candidates delivered to research teams, so doctors' offices can enroll more patients and capture the per-enrollment fees that pharmaceutical sponsors pay.
Business model
Success fee per enrolled patient, with no upfront cost.
Go-to-market
Clinical trial sites and doctors' offices are the buyers; they get started through a one-week onboarding process after scheduling a demo, with implementation provided at no charge.

AI-powered Patient Identification for Clinical Trials
HealthKey helps doctors offices generate more revenue by finding eligible patients for their clinical trials. We match at-risk patients with cutting-edge treatments, ultimately getting patients access to potentially life-changing treatments faster. Big Pharma pays a lot of money to clinics for each patient they enroll, but finding patients who qualify is an entirely manual process today. We use AI to prescreen doctors’ existing patients against Clinical Trials’ eligibility criteria, making enrollment fast and easy.
