health.match

Feature Overview

health.match simplifies clinical research (clinical trials or observational research) participation by helping individuals find relevant clinical studies. This feature addresses common challenges in clinical research recruitment by using health data to match users with appropriate research opportunities. By leveraging consented user information, health.match creates a more efficient way to connect potential participants with clinical research studies.

health.match uses advanced data analysis to screen and match users against specific study inclusion and exclusion criteria across multiple research opportunities. This approach helps overcome traditional barriers like limited awareness of research, geographic restrictions, and underrepresentation of minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.

This feature enables the Personal Health Record to bridge individual health data and clinical research, creating differentiated value to users.

End User Value

• Personal Health Journey: Individuals who have consented to participate in health.match are made aware of research opportunities tailored specifically to their health profile. Notification may be multi-channel (email, text, in-app), depending on user communication preferences.
• Collective Impact: Health data owned by the individual can contribute to the development of new treatments, advance medical understanding and potentially improve healthcare for millions.
• User Agency: health.match is a proactive pathway to meaningful clinical research, all controlled by individual ownership of the data, voluntary participation and revocable consent at any time.

User Journey Enabled

• health.match Consent: Existing and new users are presented with a new consent to participate in the health.match. The consent describes the purpose of health.match, what and how information is used, privacy protections, potential benefits and risks and individual rights. The date and time of consent granted is captured, and the consent can be revoked at any time.
• User Matches to Study: Users receive an activity card they have matched to a research opportunity. User is presented with an optional study-specific consent to share applicable data with a specific Research Partner. They can reject or revoke this consent at any time.
• Connect with Research Partner: A call to action on the activity card directs the user to next steps with the Research Partner. This may be a 3rd party site or outreach directly from the Research Partner.

Integration with SDK - Coming Soon

health.match features are supported by the createConsent and the getTasks methods.

Consent Methods For health.match operations, a new consent category value will be introduced while also leveraging existing consent types - all utilizing the same method implementation with no code changes required.

Consent language specific to your organization will be provided by your b.well Client Success Team.

Task Methods When a user matches to a research study, tasks are retrieved using the existing getTasks method, following the same pattern as health insights - while specific task properties may be updated to support health.match operations, the implementation remains consistent.

The “Call to Action Button” will be configured to redirect to the enrollment partner.
