Clinera Find

Onboard Experts, Facilities and AI Matchmaking

Clinera Find connects study recruiters with key opinion leaders and clinical institutions. It collects research experience, trial capacity and hospital infrastructure, then scores every candidate against trial criteria and proximity, so site selection starts from a ranked shortlist instead of a spreadsheet and a hunch.

The Site-Selection Problem

Feasibility Still Runs on Email and Memory

The investigators and hospitals a sponsor already knows get picked again. Faster recruiters never surface because nobody has their capacity, equipment or history in searchable form.

Forms

Questionnaires Every Study

The same site fills in bed count, freezer capacity and IRB details for every sponsor. The answers go into a PDF nobody can query later.

Bias

Reputation Over Evidence

KOL selection leans on who is known, not on documented recruitment rates, compliance history or fit to the therapeutic area.

Rationale

Shortlists That Cannot Be Defended

When a site under-recruits, there is no record of why it was chosen over alternatives or what the alternatives were.

What Clinera Find Does

Three Capabilities, One Recommender

Structured onboarding for people and places, then a scoring engine that turns those records into a ranked, explainable shortlist.

01 · Experts

KOL Research Credentials

Tracks investigator profiles, publications, years of clinical experience, specialties, recruitment rates and compliance logs.

02 · Facilities

Institution Facility Onboarding

Collects hospital details, bed count, research equipment, infrastructure, contracts and IRB board registration.

03 · Matching

Smart Matching and Side-by-Side Comparison

Calculates a matching percentage for each KOL and institution based on trial criteria and proximity.

Features

What Is Inside Clinera Find

Feature 1

An Investigator Profile That Outlives the Study

  • Research credentials - Publication history, years of experience and specialties captured as structured fields.

  • Performance history - Past recruitment rates and compliance logs sit on the profile, not in a sponsor inbox.

  • Reusable across trials - Onboarded once, scored for every subsequent protocol that fits the specialty.

Feature 2

Know Whether a Site Can Actually Run the Protocol

  • Infrastructure inventory - Bed count, cold-chain storage, imaging, lab capability and clinical infrastructure.

  • Governance readiness - Legal contract status and IRB or ethics registration on record before feasibility starts.

  • Institution-investigator link - KOLs are attached to the facilities they practice at, so a match considers both together.

Feature 3

A Score You Can Explain to the Steering Committee

  • Trial-criteria scoring - Therapeutic area, required equipment, capacity and compliance weighed against the protocol.

  • Proximity - Distance to the target region or patient population factored into the percentage.

  • Matched parameters shown - Every recommendation lists the criteria it satisfied, so the score is not a black box.

Match Algorithm and Compare Interface

Match Evaluation Output - Clinera Find Recommender

A single recommendation contains a candidate, a percentage and the parameters that produced it, readable by a feasibility lead and consumable by the rest of the platform.

How It Works

From Onboarding to a Defensible Shortlist

Step 1

Onboard Experts

KOLs submit credentials, specialties, recruitment history and compliance logs.

Profile

Step 2

Onboard Facilities

Institutions submit bed count, equipment, infrastructure, contracts and IRB details.

Facility

Step 3

Define Trial Criteria

Recruiter sets therapeutic area, equipment, capacity and target region.

Criteria

Step 4

Run the Match

Find scores every KOL-institution pair and returns matching percentages with parameters.

Use Cases

Where Clinera Find Fits

Multi-Country Site Selection

Score candidates across regions on the same criteria before feasibility questionnaires go out.

Rare Disease and Oncology

Surface specialists and centers with the right equipment and patient population, not just familiar names.

CRO Investigator Networks

Maintain a standing, scored database of investigators and sites reusable across sponsor engagements.

Rescue Studies

When enrollment lags, find additional sites that match the protocol and sit near underserved populations fast.

Why Clinera Find

Selection With Evidence Attached

Explainable

Every Score Shows Its Parameters

The recommendation lists exactly which criteria matched, so feasibility leads can defend the shortlist.

Reusable

Onboard Once, Match Forever

Investigator and facility records persist across studies, so each new protocol starts from a scored pool.

Connected

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

What data does Clinera Find collect about investigators and KOLs?+

Investigator profiles capture publication history, years of clinical experience, specialties, recruitment rates and compliance logs. The record is reviewed before it enters the recommender.

What does institution onboarding capture?+

Hospital details, bed count, research equipment, clinical infrastructure, legal contract status and IRB or ethics registration details.

How is the matching percentage calculated?+

Find scores each KOL and institution against the trial criteria, together with proximity to the target region. Each recommendation shows the parameters that contributed.

Can we compare shortlisted sites and investigators?+

Yes. The compare interface places candidates side by side on score, matched parameters, capacity, infrastructure and distance.

Does Clinera Find replace feasibility questionnaires?+

It replaces the spreadsheet stage of feasibility. Structured investigator and facility data is collected once and reused across studies, while protocol-specific questions can still be added.
