S1, E28 - Adam Blum: AI-Powered Clinical Trial Matching
from Practical AI in Healthcare · host Steven Labkoff, MD and Leon Rozenblit, JD, PhD
When Adam Blum was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, he tried over a dozen commercial trial matchers. None returned actual matches. So the serial AI entrepreneur built CancerBot, a free precision-matching service that assesses 100% of eligibility criteria — not the five surface-level attributes most matchers use. On this episode, Blum explains the Prompt Workbench (where biomedical experts refine extraction prompts to above 90% accuracy), how conjunctive normal form makes complex eligibility logic tractable, and why "best trial" means something different for every patient. A masterclass in AI scaffolding for healthcare.
