Clinical trials are generating more data than ever before, which has increased the time and costs required for data cleaning and analysis. Any delays can quickly strain budgets and extend timelines. As data demands grow, the industry faces more pressure to balance efficiency with data integrity and regulatory standards.
At Medrio, we believe the right AI tools can maintain operational efficiency and control costs amidst this complexity. Specifically, AI-reporting tools provide an opportunity to manage complexity, reduce inefficiencies, and unlock insights.

Medrio’s Approach to AI
When we refer to AI within Medrio solutions, we’re specifically referring to machine learning, a subdiscipline of AI. Medrio’s team focuses on what we call “actionable AI”— engineering solutions to solve present-day challenges in clinical trials while keeping sponsors and CROs firmly in control.
Our approach is grounded in three key principles:
- Keep the human-in-the-loop. While AI excels at handling repetitive and time-intensive tasks, humans oversee decision-making to ensure compliance, reduce bias, and maintain trust. For example, while AI might flag anomalies in datasets, humans validate whether those anomalies are actionable.
- Focus on practicality over buzzwords. AI isn’t about flashy claims—it’s about delivering tangible results. We use AI to empower teams to make better, faster decisions without adding unnecessary complexity.
- Learn from other industries. Industries like finance and ecommerce have shown us the power of tools like natural language processing (NLP). For example, NLP can sift through massive datasets faster to identify data points and uncover patterns.
At its core, our strategy is to make trials faster, more efficient, and more compliant. Our focus is on providing impactful solutions today.
What is the result of this approach? Medrio’s AI-enabled reporting.
Medrio’s AI-Enabled Reporting
Medrio’s AI-enabled reporting is available within Medrio CDMS/EDC. Customer feedback guided the development of these capabilities, which drove our focus on delivering deeper data interaction and insights.
These new capabilities will deliver interactive data visualizations and enable seamless reporting on large datasets for quicker insight generation.
With Medrio’s AI-enabled reporting, you’ll be able to:
- Simplify data exploration using machine learning and natural language prompts
- Create interactive visualizations
- Bolster analysis with AI-generated insights
- Monitor critical metrics
- Enjoy faster, more seamless report generation
Medrio’s AI-enabled reporting will provide an enhanced CDMS/EDC experience by embedding advanced dashboard, reporting, and visualization capabilities directly into the system. This enhancement maintains our signature ease of use.
Key features include:
- Ask Reporting (NLP-powered queries): Type natural language questions and receive AI-generated answers in the form of charts, tables, or graphs. For example, asking the system to show enrollment trends over the last six months.
- Custom dashboard creation: Build and personalize dashboards to visualize study data for easier tracking and analysis. Dashboards update in near real-time for the most up-to-date insights.
- Interactive visualizations: Click into charts and graphs to drill down into data, apply filters, and refine your view–without generating new reports manually.

Study Status Reports in Medrio’s AI-Enabled Reporting
No matter how large or small the study, sponsors and CROs need immediate answers about enrollment and trial progress. But these answers are rarely delivered fast enough to support impactful decision-making or allow for proactive resource allocation.
Medrio’s AI-enabled reporting offers a single, consolidated view of your data. This capability lets you start the day with timely answers to critical questions.
The Study Status Report offers a dashboard-style view of all the most critical data points in a single screen. Visuals, like pie charts, are dynamic and highlight key data points and outliers.
This capability allows you to quickly:
- Get an update on enrollment progress with data pulled as frequently as every two hours
- Dig into query status by designation
- Sort data to extrapolate the answers you need in a matter of seconds
- Understand how many subjects were excluded before enrollment
- Breakdown subject status by site
- View the status of form approvals
Prompts in Medrio’s AI-Enabled Reporting
Finding specific data or uncovering meaningful insights is often time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Teams must manually comb through reports, consolidate data from multiple sources, or wait for periodic updates that may not align with their needs. These delays don’t just waste time—they create bottlenecks that slow trial progress and increase costs.
Medrio’s AI reporting tool helps customers quickly sift through large datasets, identify specific information, and get the answers they need.
Ask Reporting allows customers to access new reporting capabilities featuring machine learning by using natural language processing (NLP). This intuitive prompt-based capability uses machine learning to allow you to sift through your trial data to find what you need in seconds.
This capability allows you to pull data from your EDC to:
- Generate lists
- Make tables
- Create visualizations, such as pie charts or bar graphs
With Medrio’s AI-enabled prompts, your data isn’t just easily available—it’s accessible on demand. You can make decisions faster and more confidently.
