Making clinical trials accessible for every UK patient
TrialConnect was founded on a simple belief: every patient deserves to know about clinical trials that could help them — without paywalls, jargon, or gatekeepers.
Our Mission
Only 2–5% of UK adults participate in clinical trials, yet trials are the backbone of medical progress. The barrier isn't willingness — it's awareness, complexity, and access.
We built TrialConnect to bridge that gap. Our AI-powered matching engine connects patients with relevant trials from ClinicalTrials.gov, ISRCTN, and NIHR databases — translating dense eligibility criteria into plain language anyone can understand.
For patients, the platform is always free. No exceptions. We fund operations through partnerships with research sponsors who value patient engagement.

What We Stand For
Patient-First Privacy
Your health data stays on your device. We never sell personal information. GDPR-compliant by design, with NHS-grade security standards.
Plain Language
Clinical trial criteria rewritten in everyday English. No medical degree required to understand if a trial is right for you.
Radical Transparency
We explain exactly how our matching works, where trial data comes from, and how we fund the platform. No black boxes.
UK-Focused
Built specifically for the UK healthcare landscape — NHS partnerships, NICE guidelines, and local trial sites.
Evidence-Based
Treatment pathways grounded in published clinical evidence. We link to primary sources so you can verify everything.

No paywalls, no account required to browse. We believe trial access is a right, not a premium feature.
