Inato

Marketplace connecting doctors to clinical trials

Overview

Inato operates a marketplace that connects doctors with suitable clinical trials, making trials easier to access for physicians. Doctors can browse and filter trials by specialty, location, and eligibility, while sponsors post studies and reach a larger pool of eligible physicians; the platform streamlines communication and referrals to speed up the research workflow. Unlike traditional site-by-site recruitment, Inato focuses on direct doctor-to-study matching to improve efficiency. Its goal is to increase physician participation and patient access to trials, improving outcomes for both clinicians and sponsors.
