Clinical trial matching · Navigator

Clinical trial matching with clear human review.

Navigator analyzes patient records to identify clinical trials a patient may qualify for. A clinician or research team decides whether formal screening is appropriate.

In plain language

What is AI clinical trial matching?

Clinical trial matching software compares information in a medical record with a study’s entry rules. Navigator analyzes records to identify trials a patient may qualify for.

A potential match is a starting point for review. A clinician or research team decides whether formal screening is appropriate.

An investigational workflow

  1. 01

    Read the record

    Find relevant facts in structured fields and clinical notes.

  2. 02

    Check each rule

    Compare record facts with a trial’s inclusion and exclusion criteria.

  3. 03

    Review the evidence

    A reviewer checks the record facts behind each criterion.

  4. 04

    Leave the decision to people

    A care or research team reviews the findings. Navigator does not enroll anyone.

Illustrative concept

A possible match is not an eligibility decision.

Formal trial screening follows the study protocol and is completed by the research team.

Validation

What retrospective testing means

Researchers compare a model’s results with known information from past records. Bowhead has not reported performance results for this model.

The cancer digital twin is an investigational research concept, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation.

Questions people ask

Can patients use Navigator directly?

Patients will soon be able to use a beta version at bowhead.ai. Please check back regularly for updates. The beta may produce inaccurate matches. Please review all trial criteria with a trained medical professional.

Does a possible match mean someone can join?

No. It is not a decision about eligibility. The study team applies the protocol and completes the formal screening process.

What does retrospective validation mean?

Researchers test a tool on past records, then compare its outputs with known information. Bowhead’s lung cancer model is being evaluated this way using hospital data from leading academic and non-academic centers.
