The Conference Forum is pleased to announce that Power is the winner of DPHARM Idol Disrupt at the 14th annual DPHARM: Disruptive Innovations to Advance Clinical Research 2024 event.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Conference Forum is pleased to announce that Power is the winner of DPHARM Idol Disrupt at the 14th annual DPHARM: Disruptive Innovations to Advance Clinical Research 2024 event.

Power, represented by Brandon Li, Co-Founder, is building patient-friendly access to clinical trials, and is simplifying recruitment with a novel AI approach that delivers qualified referrals that match protocol criteria and supports the entire process through to enrollment.

"AI-driven curation of patient-friendly lay language is a game-changer. Power has unlocked access to clinical trials in a low-overhead, AI-forward way, and is helping patients not only find trials, but learn more about them and connect directly to a clinical research site," Nicole Sheetz, Gilead.

"Roughly 86% of all clinical trials are delayed due to an inability to recruit enough patients. By making it dead simple to discover and evaluate novel therapies, we're hoping to offer patients a source of hope while reducing the time it takes for new breakthrough drugs to reach approval," said Mr Li.

In front of 12 judges representing R&D executives, patient advocates, and life science investors, Power had six minutes to present how their platform helped patients navigate clinical trial options, scanned patient-uploaded medical documents for inclusion/exclusion criteria to match patients to potential trials, and let patients browse nearby sites. Mr Li also told the DPHARM audience that physicians and care providers had begun using the platform as well.

"AI-driven curation of patient-friendly lay language is a game-changer. Power has unlocked access to clinical trials in a low-overhead, AI-forward way, and is helping patients not only find trials, but learn more about them and connect directly to a clinical research site," said Nicole Sheetz, PharmD, Senior Director, Design & Innovation, Global Development, Gilead.

"Patients are always looking for information, and it's hard to make a decision in a pressurized environment. Power makes it clean, simple and user-friendly. When patients understand and retain information, especially from underrepresented communities, they are more likely to engage and exercise their options," said Karen Peterson, Founder and Chief Patient Advocate, Karen's Club.
