Session information:

Date: October 15, 2026

Time: 9:00 am – 9:30 am ET

Session S14: AI and Digital Automation in Clinical Operations: Optimizing Trial Execution
Clario session: Minimizing Bias Risk when using AI with Pivotal Study Data    

AI can help optimize clinical trial operations, enhance patient privacy, and improve data quality while reducing risk of human error. However, responsible deployment of AI is essential, to minimize risk for bias adversely impacting critical data and decision making. We will highlight the approach that one service provider has developed to responsibly create and deploy AI enabled tools, and how AI is being leveraged to identify ECG mislabeling to protect the integrity and quality of study data in clinical trials today.
