Florence Healthcare has announced Model Context Protocol access across its clinical trial software suite, enabling AI agents to interact with its eleven workflow tools spanning 65,000 research sites and 30,000 active protocols. The integration works with AI assistants including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT. The MCP layer allows AI agents to query and analyse clinical trial data in real-time, automating tasks such as identifying missing documents, detecting compliance gaps and monitoring study progress. In a demonstration, Florence showcased a "Trial Intelligence" workflow where users manage studies through natural language queries. The pre-revenue company aims to reduce administrative burden in clinical research by automating operational detective work. Florence Healthcare supports over 600 sponsors and contract research organisations across 90 countries, claiming its platform can accelerate study startup by up to 70 per cent.

Florence announces Shankar Jagannathan as their new Chief Operating Officer, bringing his extensive experience to enhance their leadership in Site Enablement Solutions for clinical trials.
