Clinical trials
Use on-premise AI to accelerate site selection and trial recruitment
Better clinical trials for everyone
Bitfount enables Sponsors, CROs, and model developers to leverage AI to identify high-performing trial sites and eligible patients faster—without moving sensitive health data.
Use cases
Patient pre-screening
Unlock site data to boost enrolment, reduce screen failures and slash site burden
AI-driven analyses custom-developed to match your trials’ inclusion/exclusion criteria to find eligible patients based on EHR- and image-based biomarkers.
Site selection
Cut start-up times and find the sites most likely to deliver using real data
Make faster, more informed site selection decisions based on objective data about the patient populations accessible via each site. No more relying on over-optimistic estimates of patient availability and diversity.
Site feasibility
Assess individual site feasibility quickly and consistently
Inform feasibility studies by collecting deep, accurate, real-time data on patient demographics, disease prevalence, current treatments and more direct from trial sites.
Image and EHR data transfer
Safe and secure data transfer from sites to streamline your clinical operations
Use Bitfount’s existing federated data network or set up one of your own with minimal work for data custodians in order to automate the secure transfer of any data between your ecosystem partners.
Real World Evidence
Query and aggregate source-of-truth datasets in real time for RWE generation
From longitudinal analysis to aggregated statistics and forecasting, extract insights from structured and unstructured real-world datasets without requiring any transfer of raw data.
Model evaluation
Accelerate your AI adoption by evaluating models against truly held-out data
Validate the performance of your models against real-world datasets without your data partners needing to transfer any data to you, or you needing to share your model IP with them.
Model training
Train models on siloed datasets with powerful, user-friendly federated learning
Assemble your own federated AI training consortium, or tap into Bitfount existing network in order to privately and securely train and fine-tune the next generation of AI models.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bitfount access my data?
No, Bitfount’s zero-trust architecture ensures Bitfount never receives data or analysis results. Analysis results are transferred between data custodians and data scientists end-to-end encrypted using encryption keys held by each party and not accessible to Bitfount. Read more here.
What will my Information Governance team think of this?
Information Governance and Legal teams love Bitfount since it removes the need for complex Data Sharing Agreements (DSA) and Material Transfer Agreements (MTA), and massively simplifies Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). Bitfount is also fully GDPR, HIPAA and ISO27001 compliant. Visit our online Trust Centre here.
Do I need to be able to code?
No. Our desktop application has been designed to be operated without requiring any coding knowledge. This includes connecting datasets, joining projects, running tasks and accessing analysis results. Data scientists and algorithm developers can choose to interact with Bitfount via our python SDK.
Are there any hardware requirements?
There aren’t any specific requirements, however AI analysis at scale can be compute-intensive and will run more efficiently, especially for image analysis, if you have access to a machine (physical or virtual) with a GPU. Suitable devices include any Apple silicon model, or a Windows or Linux machine with an Nvidia GPU. Not sure if you have the right setup? Reach out to us at support@bitfount.com for guidance.
