The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Trial Optimization

Abstract

In this paper, Clinical trials are fundamental to medical advancements, offering a structured approach to assessing the efficacy and safety of new treatments, drugs, and interventions. However, traditional clinical trials face numerous challenges, including high costs, long durations, and complex patient recruitment and retention processes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to optimize clinical trials, offering solutions that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and speed. This paper examines the role of AI in optimizing various aspects of clinical trials, such as patient recruitment, study design, data collection and analysis, and trial monitoring. Through a review of current practices and advancements, the paper underscores AI’s potential in transforming the clinical trial landscape and discusses the ethical and regulatory considerations necessary for successful AI integration.
