Can AI Actually Help Sites?

More than half of clinical sites still rely on paper to capture protocol visit data, creating inefficiencies that slow research and increase administrative burden. Longtime industry advocate Brad Hightower has highlighted this challenge for years, prompting a direct test of a potential solution. In a live, unscripted demonstration, Brad uploads real site documents into Castor Catalyst with no advance preparation, allowing viewers to see how data extraction performs under real-world conditions and hear his candid perspective as it happens.

Beyond document extraction, the conversation explores emerging approaches to reducing site workload, including AI-assisted Source Data Verification, patient-mediated EMR retrieval, and a live voice-scribing experiment. For organizations looking to modernize clinical trial operations, get a practical look at how AI could help streamline data capture while preserving the realities of day-to-day site workflows.
