Pharma, biotech & CROs
Accelerate and de-riskthe entire trial lifecycle
Identify sites and patients with imaging and EHR insights to speed enrolment and cut screen failures.
Use cases
Patient pre-screening
Empower sites to boost enrolment and reduce screen fails
AI-driven analyses custom-developed to match your trials’ inclusion/exclusion criteria to find eligible patients based on EHR- and image-based biomarkers. Increase site yield and accelerate recruitment while reducing site burden.
Feasibility studies
Assess study feasibility in minutes, not months
Inform feasibility studies by collecting data on patient demographics, disease prevalence, current treatments and more by partnering with trial sites to safely share insights from their data.
Protocol design
Design smarter protocols informed by real-world data
Safely simulate and iterate different sets of inclusion/exclusion criterial to maximise the trial’s chances of success and minimise the need for time-consuming protocol amendments.
Site selection
Select the right sites backed by real evidence
Make faster, more informed site selection decisions based on objective data about the patient populations accessible via each site. No more relying on over-optimistic estimates of patient availability and diversity.
Trial monitoring
Move towards adaptive trial design by closing the feedback loop in real time
Get real-time insights directly from trial sites in order to inform decision-making and iron out bottlenecks, without data transfers. From image quality assessments to protocol adherence reports.
Post-market surveillance
Detect safety signals earlier through federated insights
Automatically monitor drug- and device safety, identify adverse events, and find opportunities for improvement by tapping into real-time source-of-truth imaging and EHR data using federated data science.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bitfount access my data?
No, Bitfount’s zero-trust architecture ensures Bitfount never receives data or analysis results. Analysis results are transferred between data custodians and data scientists end-to-end encrypted using encryption keys held by each party and not accessible to Bitfount. Read more here.
What will my Information Governance team think of this?
Information Governance and Legal teams love Bitfount since it removes the need for complex Data Sharing Agreements (DSA) and Material Transfer Agreements (MTA), and massively simplifies Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). Bitfount is also fully GDPR, HIPAA and ISO27001 compliant. Visit our online Trust Centre here.
Do I need to be able to code?
No. Our desktop application has been designed to be operated without requiring any coding knowledge. This includes connecting datasets, joining projects, running tasks and accessing analysis results. Data scientists and algorithm developers can choose to interact with Bitfount via our python SDK.
Are there any hardware requirements?
There aren’t any specific requirements, however AI analysis at scale can be compute-intensive and will run more efficiently, especially for image analysis, if you have access to a machine (physical or virtual) with a GPU. Suitable devices include any Apple silicon model, or a Windows or Linux machine with an Nvidia GPU. Not sure if you have the right setup? Reach out to us at support@bitfount.com for guidance.
