Novelcare

Novelcare is a clinical trial matching service for physician practices. Its technology scans for nearby clinical trials in the disease areas relevant to a practice's patient population, compares each trial's eligibility criteria to the records in the practice's electronic medical record, and surfaces potential matches as a Match Report in the Novelcare Inbox. The report puts the trial criteria and the patient record side by side for the physician to review; letting the patient know about the opportunity takes one click and Novelcare handles the rest. It is built for healthcare providers, especially community practices caring for hard to treat patients, and for trial sites that need eligible participants. The practice keeps its existing clinical workflow: the EMR integration is secure and HIPAA compliant, study information is sent automatically to patients the physician identifies as relevant, and every plan includes a Patient Awareness Kit of in clinic and digital materials. Where the system needs a physician's judgment to confirm eligibility, Novelcare pays up to $200 per chart reviewed. Use of protected health information is limited by a restrictive Business Associate Agreement: the company does not sell or license PHI and does not train models on it. Pricing is published plainly. The service is free, permanently, for practices with fewer than one million patients. Practices with more than one million patients pay $100 per month per provider. No payment information is required to start, and the trial begins once the EMR integration is complete. The compliance framework is built around HIPAA and a Business Associate Agreement, so the product is oriented to US practices.
