Expert System Grants Researchers Access to AI-Based CRN Tool

Expert System joins the fight against COVID-19 by granting biomedical researchers worldwide free access to its AI-based Clinical Research Navigator (CRN) tool effective immediately and extending through at least July 1. CRN contains a structured real-time data set of over 100 million documents and reference information on 12 million clinical researchers, providing biomedical research scientists with a single-source to discover insights to drive their research. The data available is consistently structured and updated and is searchable across diseases, drugs, mechanisms of action, organizations, researchers, and geographies.

CRN constantly monitors and mines biomedical content coming from the most comprehensive possible array of sources such as MEDLINE publications, clinical trials, NIH-funded research, U.S. Patents, news and social media streams. Expert System CRN aggregates information from millions of scientific documents and news releases, structures the content in an intuitive user interface, allowing for multi-level drill-down across all searchable fields. The advanced natural language understanding capability recognizes related terms (such as “COVID 19, “Coronavirus,” and “SARS-CoV-2”) and puts them in context to provide the most relevant and comprehensive results. Rich drill-down and filtering capabilities enable researchers to identify key clinical trials, sponsoring research facilities, lead researchers and related work, and even map key networks of collaborators.

“In facing the unprecedented global health challenge posed by COVID-19, we see an urgent need for advanced AI technologies to help researchers accelerate their search for therapeutics and diagnostics,” said Christophe Aubry, Executive VP Expert System Enterprise. “CRN enables medical researchers in the frontlines of finding treatments to have a powerful AI tool that offers structured, intuitive, and real-time access to research taking place around the world.”

“CRN offers a global perspective to any researcher, anywhere to find information on virtually all research, everywhere. As an AI company based in Italy, we understand first-hand the devastating impact of COVID-19 and want to get this weapon in the hands of as many researchers as possible. We will provide simplified, immediate, and free access to CRN,” Walt Mayo, CEO of Expert System, said.
