New agent streamlines clinical trial cohort curation with localized updates

Researchers have developed CohortFlow, a steerable agent designed to efficiently update clinical cohort specifications for clinical trials. This agent represents corrections as localized updates to a structured execution graph, allowing for selective invalidation of affected computations while preserving valid prior results. In evaluations, CohortFlow demonstrated a small numerical advantage in requirement accuracy compared to full regeneration, significantly reduced correction latency, and fewer model calls. A proof-of-concept on the MIMIC dataset showed successful execution of cohort states and selective preservation of unaffected computations. AI

IMPACT Potential to reduce latency and computational cost in clinical trial setup by improving how AI agents handle evolving eligibility criteria.
