CRIO and BEKhealth Partner to Bring AI-Powered Patient Matching to Clinical Sites
Integrated solution helps research sites streamline feasibility and accelerate recruitment without leaving their CRIO workflow
August 07, 2025 – RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC | BEKhealth, a leader in AI-powered chart abstraction and patient-matching technology, today announced its inclusion in CRIO’s Partners Program. This integration allows clinical research sites, sponsors, and CROs to seamlessly incorporate BEKplatform, BEKhealth’s AI-powered patient-matching solution, directly within the CRIO workflow.
BEKplatform intelligently processes unstructured and structured EMR data to identify up to three times more protocol-eligible patients—leading to identification of 10x more clinically eligible study candidates and a 2x faster enrollment rate.
Transforming Feasibility and Patient Identification
With CRIO integration, BEKplatform empowers trial stakeholders to execute feasibility analysis and patient identification without toggling across systems. Now, CRIO users can visualize BEKhealth insights alongside eSource, CTMS, eConsent, EDC, and reporting—all within a single interface.
For site networks, sponsors and CROs, the integration provides more accurate feasibility projections, consistent performance across sites, and faster startup timelines. With deeper visibility into real-world EMR data at the site level, trial teams can better assess patient availability, de-risk enrollment plans, and improve site selection.
EMR-Agnostic and Rapid Deployment
BEKplatform supports all major EMR systems—including AdvanceMD, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, EPIC, Greenway Health, Modernizing Medicine, NextGen Healthcare, Veradigm, and many more —delivering fast setup with minimal IT overhead. Through the CRIO Partner Directory, activation can be requested by the click of a button, and most customers are live within weeks.
“Research sites are drowning in messy, unstructured data and starving for insight,” said David Levin, CEO of BEKhealth. “This partnership puts powerful AI directly into their existing workflow—no new systems, no extra effort. It’s a leap toward effortless feasibility and faster enrollment, right where the work happens.”
“Research sites are juggling recruitment, documentation, and compliance—often with limited staff and time,” said Raymond Nomizu, Co-CEO of CRIO. “Our goal is to simplify operations, not add to the burden. Integrating tools like BEKplatform means alleviating site burden and enabling compliant and efficient workflows, reducing delays and improving execution across the board.”
