Built by a rare disease family

What started as our family's rare disease journey led us to build an AI Patient Intelligence Engine and a community of 1M+ patients and caregivers worldwide, connected to new research and support. Today it helps research teams reach the people their studies are for.

Who we work with: pharma and biotech sponsors, CROs, study sites, and teams running observational and real-world studies.

How it works

One Patient Intelligence Engine. Three integrated AI systems.

Three AI systems that close the knowledge gaps, from a patient's first search to study enrollment and beyond.

System 01Find

HealthSignal

AI Patient Discovery

Reach patients when they're looking for answers.

HealthSignal creates helpful condition pages and learns which ones best answer what people search for, so patients find relevant studies and support.

System 02Engage

HealthStory

AI Patient Experience

A private health journal patients keep for themselves.

AI-guided check-ins help people track symptoms, treatments and quality of life. Patients who choose to can contribute their entries to research, combined and de-identified.

How have your headaches been this week?

Still pretty bad. Worst in the mornings, and bright light makes them worse.

System 03Understand

HealthSense

AI Patient Insights

Understand patient needs through shared experiences.

Combined, de-identified insights from patients who opt in help shape better study protocols, support programs and treatments.

How recruitment works

  1. Reach

    Condition communities, stories and HealthSignal pages meet patients and caregivers where they're already searching.

  2. Educate

    HealthSpark and plain-language study information help people understand what taking part involves.

  3. Pre-screen & support

    Patients who want to explore a study get eligibility pre-screening and, where offered, a conversation with our nurse team.

  4. Refer & follow through

    With the patient's permission, we refer them to the study site and keep supporting them through to enrollment.

FAQ

Questions partners ask

Which conditions and regions do you cover?

Our therapeutic coverage spans gene therapy, rare metabolics, cancer, dermatology, autoimmune, hematology, heart and kidney, and neurology, and a community of 1M+ patients and caregivers worldwide. HealthSignal communities cover all 6,000+ conditions in the NIH Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center.

What do partners actually receive?

For recruitment, referrals of patients who asked to be connected with your specific study; their details are shared only at their request. For research and commercial programs, aggregated, de-identified insights drawn only from patients who opted in. We don't sell individual patient records.

How do you protect patient data?

Know Rare is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Shared insights are aggregated and de-identified with minimum group sizes, so small rare-disease cohorts can't be traced back to individuals, and partner contracts prohibit re-identification or contacting patients from the data.

Can you help with ultra-rare or stalled studies?

That's where we started. In one rare pediatric trial that had gone 2 years without enrolling a patient, Know Rare found the first patients in under a month and 98% of referred patients were randomized.

How do we get started?
