Clinical trials shouldn't feel like a cold call
Stigma keeps patients from picking up the phone. TrialScreen uses SMS-first screening to remove the pressure of a cold call, meet participants after hours, and match across your full psychiatric portfolio — all in one conversation.

Traditional outreach methods clash with the realities of psychiatric patient populations.
Stigma and Call Avoidance
Patients dealing with depression, anxiety, and PTSD are less likely to answer unknown phone numbers. Cold calls feel intrusive during vulnerable periods, and voicemail callbacks are rare.
Complex Psychiatric Criteria
Protocols span MDD, GAD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia — each with overlapping but distinct inclusion/exclusion criteria. Manual screening misses nuances across conditions.
After-Hours Need
37% of patient interactions happen outside business hours. Anxiety and depression symptoms peak in the evening, exactly when coordinators aren’t available to answer questions.
How TrialScreen changes the approach
SMS-First Reduces Anxiety
Text-based screening removes the pressure of a phone call. Participants respond on their own terms, in their own time, without the anxiety of speaking to a stranger about their mental health.
24/7 AI Handles After-Hours
When a participant texts at 11 PM during an anxiety episode, TrialScreen responds immediately. No voicemail, no callback queue, no lost engagement window.
Portfolio Matching Across Indications
A participant screened for an MDD trial who doesn’t qualify may match a GAD or PTSD study in your portfolio. TrialScreen checks every active protocol in a single interaction.
