Hi, I want to share why Zeda AI exists.
In 2022, a colleague running multiple clinical trial sites asked for help recruiting patients for a relapsed MS study, one of the hardest populations to enroll. Traditional recruitment methods weren’t working.
I wasn’t a clinical research insider. I was a tech guy with a background in digital marketing. So instead of doing more of the same, we tried something different.
We launched highly targeted social campaigns to reach RMS patients directly. Then we built an SMS chatbot to automatically pre-screen them, so only qualified patients ever reached the site.
At the next PI conference, we learned that many sites had enrolled zero patients for that same trial. We had enrolled multiple.
That’s when the real gap became clear. It wasn’t about reach or quality, it was about combining both, affordably.
On one end were concierge recruitment services charging $5,000+ per patient. On the other were cheap lead-gen tools that flooded coordinators with unqualified leads. No one was delivering low-cost reach with intelligent qualification.
So, we built it. And when sites asked for more, we expanded it into a full CTMS designed around patient recruitment, not bolted onto it.
Today, Zeda is trusted by sites like Nova Clinical Research and Pasadena Center for Medical Research.
If you’d like to see how this could work for your site, I’d be happy to show you.
Best,
Tareq
