HealthKey

HealthKey is an AI-powered patient identification platform for clinical trials that scans electronic health records daily to surface eligible candidates. Designed for research sites, CROs, and pharmaceutical sponsors, it integrates with existing EHR systems to process thousands of records in minutes, replacing manual chart reviews. The platform works by connecting to the EHR in a HIPAA-compliant manner, encoding trial eligibility criteria with AI, and presenting a curated list of patient matches with supporting evidence. It can process over 80,000 patient records to find exact matches ranked by enrollment likelihood, with case studies showing first enrollment in as little as 25 days for obesity trials and identifying patients missed by other platforms. HealthKey’s key features include automated daily patient matching, custom eligibility criteria encoding, and patient ranking by likelihood to enroll. It supports multiple trial protocols simultaneously and offers a success-fee pricing model with no upfront costs, free implementation, and free protocol setup for up to five trials. Recent deployments span hypertension, bladder cancer, and obesity trials, screening up to 4.6 million records across six sites. The platform emphasizes speed and specificity, with a reported 1-week onboarding timeline. Compared to alternatives, HealthKey’s success-fee model reduces financial risk for sites, and its ability to cross-reference entire EHRs daily can catch patients that periodic manual or other automated approaches miss. However, it lacks a self-service API and transparent public pricing, requiring a sales conversation. For sites focused on enrollment volume and diversification, HealthKey is a pragmatic, low-risk entry point.
