Category: Search Bar Overview

  • Advanced Filters

    The Advanced Filters panel offers additional refinement options, such as:

    • Trial Phase (e.g., Phase 1, Phase 3)
    • Age Group
    • Gender Eligibility
    • Recruitment Status
    • Trial Type (e.g., interventional, observational)

    These filters help users narrow down trials that align with their personal health status, eligibility, or preferences. The filter panel is collapsible for user convenience and can be updated or cleared at any time during the search process.

    Key Note: All search activities are privacy-preserving and HIPAA-compliant. Entered data is used solely for personalized trial matching and is never shared without participant consent.

  • Clear Filters

    The Clear Filters option resets all active search inputs, including condition keywords, location, range, and filters. This is helpful when starting a new or unrelated search from scratch.

  • Search Button

    After entering the desired condition and location, click the Search button to generate results. The system will present a paginated list of matched trials, each with summary details, tags, and access to a dedicated trial page.

  • Nearby Range

    Once a location is entered, participants may refine the search radius using a sliding selector (e.g., Within 10 miles, 25 miles, 100 miles). This allows for control over travel distance, helping participants find trials that are logistically feasible.

  • Location Search

    You may enter a city, state, or ZIP Code within the United States to narrow results to geographically relevant trials. The system supports autocomplete suggestions and ensures results are mapped to accurate regional data.

  • Medical Condition or Keyword

    Participants may enter

    • The name of a specific medical condition (e.g., Asthma, Type 2 Diabetes, Breast Cancer)
    • General keywords such as blood pressure, insulin, or neurology
    • Trial-specific terms such as Phase 2 or healthy volunteers

    The system uses semantic matching and medical taxonomy to expand keyword relevance, ensuring broader but appropriate results.
