Curated Clinical
Community intelligence for health research

Hear from the community before you design the study.

Curated Clinical turns community voice into research-ready insight. Run crowdsourcing contests, get AI-organized themes in days instead of months, and use what people tell you to shape outreach, protocols, consent language, and recruitment.

"I want to know my information won't be used against me or my community later."

Key finding: Community fear of misuse runs deep. Every consent form should include an explicit escalation path—ask for a second review, name a coordinator, log concerns—to counter present-tense dismissal in ordinary care.

The platform

The depth of a focus group, at the scale of a campaign.

Surveys tell you what people check. Focus groups hear from eight people at a time. Crowdsourcing contests invite a whole community to share ideas, stories, and solutions, and Curated Clinical makes the results usable.

Crowdsourcing contests

Launch an open call in minutes. People submit stories, videos, or ideas from their phones. Community members vote and comment, and a judging panel scores entries with a shared rubric.

AI-organized themes

Every entry is grouped into themes with counts and representative quotes. Ask follow-up questions of your own data and get a Community Intelligence Report your team can share.

Insight to action

Compare what people said with your protocol, consent form, or outreach materials and get suggested language changes. Your team approves every edit. Nothing publishes automatically.

How it works

From open call to evidence in four steps.

Step 1 · Launch

Pose the question

Use the contest criteria builder to write a prompt, judging rubric, and prizes that fit your community.

Step 2 · Collect

Hear from many

Share through your partner networks and social channels. Track entries, votes, and engagement on your dashboard.

Step 3 · Analyze

See the patterns

AI groups entries into themes. Judges score the strongest ideas. You get a report with numbers and quotes.

Step 4 · Act

Close the loop

Turn themes into program changes, funding proposals, or study materials, and show the community what their input changed.

Who it's for

One platform, two sides of the same table.

Community organizations hold the trust. Research sponsors need the insight. Curated Clinical gives both a structured way to listen and act.

Community-based organizations

Pharma, biotech & CROs

  • Recruitment that convertsReach engaged audiences through trusted community partners, with intake and enrollment tracking.
  • Better materials, fasterTest recruitment messages and consent language against what communities actually said.
  • Diverse enrollment with substanceBuild relationships with communities that are underrepresented in research, not one-time outreach.
