Invited Paper Session 
Music City Center 
Toward a new era of clinical research, this talk explores how AI can enhance the design of clinical trials to improve both inclusivity and efficiency. I will first introduce Trial Pathfinder, a computational framework that simulates synthetic patient cohorts using medical records. This tool enables more adaptive and inclusive eligibility criteria, supporting better patient representation and data quality. We will then discuss AI-driven approaches to streamline patient enrollment, including automated patient-trial matching, which improves recruitment efficiency. Together, we will explore how integrating AI can make trials more effective and accessible, accelerating the development of new therapies.
