- Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have developed an AI-powered system called EmulatRx that mimics a collaborative team of medical experts to accelerate clinical trial design.
- The new system can analyze real-world patient data to potentially make clinical trials faster, more affordable, and more precise.
- EmulatRx is organized around five specialized computational agents that mimic the roles of scientific team members and utilize natural language to work together.
- The system analyzes electronic health records from large clinical databases to identify appropriate patient groups for trials and identify differences in treatment effects across various patient subgroups.
- EmulatRx allows expert researchers to monitor and intervene in the system’s processes to ensure its decisions are reasonable and accurate.
