Emtrial matches approved hospital data against trial criteria. The study team receives potential matches for pre-screening, with sources and missing information for every criterion.

From hospital data to pre-screening
Emtrial prepares. Your study team reviews and decides.
Emtrial works with approved EHR data, laboratory results, and clinical documents.
- 01
Matched against reviewed inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study team sees which trials have potential candidates.
- 02
Every criterion shows which source supports it and what is still missing. Missing information never counts as an exclusion.
- 03
The study team reviews every potential match. Eligibility, patient contact, consent, and enrolment remain its responsibility.

Study SYN-03Assistant
Send the example question. The assistant answers with sources.
Which candidates have only one open question left?
Three candidates. Each is missing only a current infection status. All other criteria are supported by sources.
- Candidate 027 · Clinical note
- Candidate 058 · Medication
- Candidate 112 · Clinical note
Why is renal function not met for candidate 063?
Both eGFR values are below the threshold of 45: 41 on 27 Aug and 38 on 12 Sep. The 16-day interval meets the timing requirement.
- Candidate 063 · Laboratory
What is still open for candidate 063?
The current infection status. Antibiotic treatment has been documented since 8 Sep, a treatment end has not.

One platform. Three perspectives.
For hospitalsFind candidates in your own hospital.
Search approved patient data and review every match against its sources. For study teams with ongoing trials.
For MVZRun your own trials in outpatient care.
Find candidates in existing patient records and run trials in your own medical centre.
For sponsorsAssess patient availability earlier.
Compare patient availability across research sites, based on structured, site-approved responses.
Security and data protection.
We agree the specific measures with your IT and data protection teams.
- Where it runs
In your environment
Designed to run in the hospital-controlled environment. Matching and its results stay in your hospital’s systems.
- GDPR
Only for matching
Designed around GDPR purpose limitation and data minimisation: data is used only to match against a study, and your hospital decides which sources Emtrial draws on.
- Access
Access by role
Designed for role-based access: only authorised members of the study team see potential matches and their sources.
- Audit logs
Traceable access
Designed for audit logs that record who viewed which data and what was reviewed or released.
What we are working toward
Making clinical research more reliable.
Germany should become one of Europe’s most reliable locations for patient-oriented clinical research. Emtrial helps study teams find trial candidates sooner and review every potential match against the supporting source information.
Common questions
Short answers.
Question not listed?Write to us
What does Emtrial do?
Emtrial matches approved hospital data against the inclusion and exclusion criteria of selected trials and prepares potential candidates for pre-screening. For every criterion you see the source and the information that is still missing.
Does Emtrial decide who takes part in a trial?
No. Emtrial prepares pre-screening. A match is not confirmed eligibility. Your study team reviews every case and decides on eligibility, patient contact, and enrolment; the patient decides whether to consent.
Does patient data leave our institution?
No. Patient-level data and matching results stay in your institution’s controlled environment. Sponsors and CROs receive only aggregate information that your institution has approved beforehand.
What happens when information is missing from a record?
Missing information stays visible as an open question and is not treated as exclusion. Your team sees what is missing and can follow up on exactly that point.
Who is Emtrial for?
For hospital study teams, for outpatient medical centres that run or are building their own trials, and for sponsors and CROs who want to assess the patient population at a research site.
How can we see Emtrial in action?
In a demo we show how Emtrial brings information, sources, and open questions together. We then discuss which first step fits your institution. One possible start is a limited pilot with a clearly defined use case.
