AI-Powered Clinical Trial Savings Study

PR Campaign
Wednesday 12th August, 2026

Medable worked with the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development to quantify what its AI clinical-monitoring agent could save in cancer-drug trials. The resulting study claimed the technology could cut around 10 weeks and up to $5.6 million from late-stage trials, giving the brand a data-led hook for healthcare and business coverage.

Why it worked: It packaged third-party quantified ROI (10 weeks, $5.6M) from a credible academic model, turning vague AI hype into hard, exclusive numbers.

The lesson: Consider commissioning an independent model to quantify time or cost saved, then pitch the clearest before/after dollar and weeks headline.
