BEKhealth, based in Research Triangle Park, NC, provides an AI-powered chart abstraction and patient-matching platform that extracts structured and unstructured data from electronic medical records (EMRs). The technology integrates EHR data to optimize population feasibility and rapidly identify clinically qualified participants for clinical research. Its platform supports organizations conducting clinical trials, observational research, and real-world evidence generation by improving protocol design and participant identification. The company announced customer growth in 2024 and now counts clients such as Avacare Clinical Research Network, Biopharma Informatics, Chemidox, Elixia Health, Javara, Om Research and others. BEKhealth raised $4M in funding and intends to use the proceeds to continue expanding its customer base and product offering. The company highlights its focus on expanding commercial adoption and enhancing its AI-driven capabilities to better serve research sponsors and sites. BEKHealth offers an AI-powered clinical research software platform that ingests and processes both structured and unstructured EMR data to drive feasibility assessments, site selection, precision patient matching, and care coordination. Its machine learning models combine more than 400 unique medical libraries and 70,000 research protocols with an interoperable clinical data model to power automated, daily identification of protocol-eligible patients. The platform is positioned to accelerate patient enrollment, cut timelines, and improve outcomes for sites and CROs while addressing cumbersome workflows and data access challenges. BEKHealth says its tools are increasingly in demand amid a more virtual healthcare environment and growing use of analytics in clinical research. The company is privately held, venture-backed, and based in Connecticut, and plans to use new funding to grow its team and expand availability and adoption of its platform.
