Curated Clinical
Community intelligence for health research

Hear from the community before you design the study.

Curated Clinical turns community voice into research-ready insight. Run crowdsourcing contests, get AI-organized themes in days instead of months, and use what people tell you to shape outreach, protocols, consent language, and recruitment.

Built for community organizations, research teams, and pharma and CRO sponsors.

Community Intelligence Report Example

Contest prompt: “How would you talk to someone you love about joining a clinical trial?”

Trust starts with someone we know 38%
Show us what happens after the study 27%
Time, travel, and childcare barriers 21%
Plain language over medical terms 14%

“Don't send me a flyer. Send me my cousin who already did it.”

Suggested action: Add a peer-story section to recruitment materials and simplify consent form paragraph 3.

Illustrative data. Real reports are built from your contest entries.

51.7% email open rate on a contest follow-up, about 9× the industry average
3,571+ TikTok views for a single community contest campaign
12 vs. 6–8 eligible participants delivered vs. a competing vendor's 100K-impression campaign
2013 the year our founder began running health crowdsourcing contests

Results from the “Say It So We Feel It” campaign (NC Research Triangle, 2026), whose audience was 86% Black and 71% ages 18–24, and from a recruitment engagement for a highly specific kidney-disease population.

The platform

The depth of a focus group, at the scale of a campaign.

Surveys tell you what people check. Focus groups hear from eight people at a time. Crowdsourcing contests invite a whole community to share ideas, stories, and solutions, and Curated Clinical makes the results usable.

Crowdsourcing contests

Launch an open call in minutes. People submit stories, videos, or ideas from their phones. Community members vote and comment, and a judging panel scores entries with a shared rubric.

AI-organized themes

Every entry is grouped into themes with counts and representative quotes. Ask follow-up questions of your own data and get a Community Intelligence Report your team can share.

Insight to action

Compare what people said with your protocol, consent form, or outreach materials and get suggested language changes. Your team approves every edit. Nothing publishes automatically.

How it works

From open call to evidence in four steps.

Step 1 · Launch

Pose the question

Use the contest criteria builder to write a prompt, judging rubric, and prizes that fit your community.

Step 2 · Collect

Hear from many

Share through your partner networks and social channels. Track entries, votes, and engagement on your dashboard.

Step 3 · Analyze

See the patterns

AI groups entries into themes. Judges score the strongest ideas. You get a report with numbers and quotes.

Step 4 · Act

Close the loop

Turn themes into program changes, funding proposals, or study materials, and show the community what their input changed.

Who it's for

One platform, two sides of the same table.

Community organizations hold the trust. Research sponsors need the insight. Curated Clinical gives both a structured way to listen and act.

Community-based organizations

Prove that your community shapes your work.

  • Needs assessments in weeks Ask your community what matters most and get organized themes you can act on.
  • Program evaluation with real voice Go beyond satisfaction scores. Capture what changed for people, in their own words.
  • A stronger case to funders Pair your stories with counts and themes that show community-driven decisions.
  • New partnership opportunities Bring documented community insight to universities, health systems, and research sponsors.
  • Workshops and coaching Learn how to add crowdsourcing to your engagement and evaluation workflows.
Pharma, biotech & CROs

Design trials people want to join and stay in.

  • Patient insight before protocol lock Learn which outcomes, burdens, and barriers matter to the people you plan to enroll.
  • Recruitment that converts Reach engaged audiences through trusted community partners, with intake and enrollment tracking.
  • Better materials, faster Test recruitment messages and consent language against what communities actually said.
  • Diverse enrollment with substance Build relationships with communities that are underrepresented in research, not one-time outreach.
  • Reusable market research Every campaign recruits now and leaves you with insight for the next study.

Also used by universities and research teams for campus-wide feedback, departmental studies, and community partnership listening.

For research sponsors

Community insight at every stage of development.

Bring the community in early and keep them in. Each stage below can run as its own contest or as part of an ongoing program.

Early research What unmet needs and outcomes matter to people living with this condition? Market research · endpoints
Protocol design Is this visit schedule realistic? Investigators and their patient networks weigh in. PI input · feasibility
Site selection Which clinics and organizations does this community already trust? Sites · CBO partners
Recruitment & retention What would make you join, and what would make you stay? Messaging · intake · retention
Regulatory preparation Organized patient-experience input to support patient-focused drug development discussions. Patient voice · PFDD
Payers & launch Which real-life benefits and access concerns should payers and providers hear about? Value story · education
