The problem

Most trials don't fail at the science. They fail at the funnel.

Roughly 80% of clinical trials miss their enrollment deadlines. Every week of delay compounds — from IRB resubmissions to missed milestones to stalled protocols. Teams typically choose between three imperfect options:

Option 01

The traditional CRO

High cost ($15–50k per study just for recruitment), long lead times, opaque deliverables. Makes sense for large Phase III trials — not investigator-initiated or mid-sized studies.

Option 02

The agency stack

Fragmented vendors — copywriter, designer, media buyer, screener builder, data manager. No unified data, compliance gaps, and every handoff is another place things break.

Option 03

Do it yourself

Time-intensive for PIs and ops leads. Often non-compliant. No way to scale across a portfolio of studies — and no one has the bandwidth to run Meta campaigns as a side project.

Why trust Horizon AI

New platform. Proven playbook.

CliniContact has spent years running clinical trial recruitment — from investigator-initiated academic studies to multi-site protocols. Horizon AI is the platform we built to distil that expertise into software, so any research team can run recruitment the way we've been running it for our clients all along. No custom engagement required.

How it works

Four steps from protocol to participant.

Horizon AI handles the entire recruitment workflow — from materials generation through IRB approval to live enrollment. You stay in control of every step.

Configure your study

Upload your protocol. Horizon AI analyses the condition, population, and eligibility criteria to build your recruitment strategy and spend recommendation.

Approve your materials

We generate IRB-ready ads, a hosted landing page, and a smart screener. Review and revise inline. Our built-in revision workflow keeps versions controlled through IRB review.

Launch your campaign

Set your ad budget (we'll recommend a range). We build and launch your Meta campaign. AI-driven optimisation kicks in immediately — creative rotation, audience tuning, spend pacing.

Enrol participants

Every screener response flows into CliniContact Vision — auto-grouped by eligibility. Reach out via built-in SMS and email. Lini Lini AI surfaces insights across your studies.

What's included

How this works in practice

You set your own ad spend — there's no minimum and no commitment. We bill the ad spend plus the usage fee upfront, launch your campaign, and you see live performance in your dashboard. A multi-site protocol counts as one study when it uses a shared material package; separate materials per site count separately.

FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

Everything you might want to know before booking a demo. If we haven't covered it, reach out — we'll answer directly.

How quickly can we launch a campaign?

Usually within days of approving your materials. Horizon AI goes from protocol to IRB-ready materials in under 48 hours, and once your IRB signs off, your Meta campaign can be live the same day. Traditional CRO engagements typically take 4–8 weeks for the same result.

Is this IRB-compliant?

Yes. Horizon AI generates materials in the formats IRBs expect, and our built-in revision workflow keeps versions controlled through the review-and-amend cycle. While Horizon AI is a newly launched platform, it's built on CliniContact's years of clinical recruitment expertise — the IRB templates, compliance checks, and revision flows are grounded in years of real-world study support, not generic software assumptions.

Can we start with just one study?

Absolutely. The Pilot plan is $500/month for one site, one study. You set your own ad budget with no minimum commitment. It's designed as the lowest-friction way to see Horizon AI running on a real protocol before committing to your full portfolio.

How do we know how much to spend on ads?

The Feasibility tool models your study — condition, geography, target population — and recommends an ad spend range. You're never guessing in the dark. And because you set your own budget with no minimum commitment, you can start conservatively and scale up once you see performance in the dashboard.

Do we keep our participant data?

Yes. Every screener response flows into CliniContact Vision and belongs to you. You can export your participant lists at any time. The platform infrastructure — the campaign, the landing page, the live screener — stays on our platform, the same way your email marketing platform hosts your campaigns.

Can we upgrade plans as we grow?

Yes, seamlessly. Add a sixth study to your Starter plan and you automatically move to Growth — no renegotiation, no lost work. Studies and dashboards transfer. We flag the upgrade moment proactively so it's never a surprise on your bill.

Do we need to bring our own creative?

No. Horizon AI generates your recruitment materials — ads, landing page, screener — directly from your protocol. You review, revise, and approve inline. If you have existing IRB-approved materials you'd prefer to use, you can upload them instead.

What ad platforms do campaigns run on?

Meta (Facebook and Instagram) currently. That covers the vast majority of demographic targeting needs for patient recruitment. We're continuously expanding to additional channels based on client demand.

What exactly is CliniContact Vision?

It's our participant data management system — included with every Horizon AI plan, not a separate purchase. Vision takes every screener response and auto-groups leads by eligibility (eligible / ineligible with reasons). It has built-in SMS and email communication direct to leads, AI-powered stats per study and across your portfolio, and Lini

Lini AI built in to help you interpret results and draft follow-ups.

Who is Horizon AI built for?

Academic medical centres, university research sites, small-to-mid sponsors, and site networks or SMOs. If you're running clinical trials and enrollment is a pain point — whether you're a PI running one protocol or an ops lead managing twenty — we built this for you.
