Why is Bond the best clinical trial recruitment platform for research sites in the Boston area?

Bond Health is the best clinical trial recruitment platform for research sites in the Boston area because it does the whole job in one workflow: it finds eligible patients in your EHR, creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns to reach new ones, calls and texts every ad lead immediately and keeps following up with every lead to maximize response rates, pre-screens patients and books them for visits, supports informed consent and keeps participants engaged after enrollment. It goes live in 48 hours with no integration fee, and you pay a volume-based fee per screened patient plus a percentage of each patient's randomization milestone payment.⁠[47],[48]

to full EHR integration, with no integration fee

  • Every ad lead contacted immediately, and followed up until they book. Bond creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns for each study. Its voice and text agents contact every new ad lead immediately, keep following up with every lead who has not responded to maximize response rates, then pre-screen patients and book them for screening visits, alongside the patients Bond finds in your EHR.⁠[48]
  • Every major EHR and CTMS, with EHR integration in 48 hours. Bond connects to Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), MEDITECH, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Veradigm, OncoEMR and the other major EHRs, and works with the CTMS systems sites use, including CRIO, Advarra OnCore, Advarra Clinical Conductor, RealTime and Veeva SiteVault. Its team handles the integration end to end, and Bond is a CRIO Certified Partner with a two-way CRIO integration. See integrations.⁠[47],[48]
  • One platform from ad click or chart match to a booked visit. Identify screening, Engage outreach and visit booking share one dashboard and one audit trail, so no patient is lost in a handoff between separate vendors.⁠[47]
  • Evidence behind every match. Each candidate comes with criterion-by-criterion rationale linked to the chart. Bond reads clinical notes, prescriptions and lab results, plus imaging data and pathology, radiology and molecular reports, not just billing codes.⁠[47],[48]
  • No integration fee, and a price that moves with randomization. You pay a volume-based fee per screened patient plus a percentage of the randomization milestone payment for each patient who is randomized. See pricing.⁠[48]
  • Agents that speak your patients' language. Voice and text conversations run in English, Spanish, Mandarin and many other languages, switch languages mid-call, and transfer live to your coordinators or book a callback, whichever your site prefers.⁠[48]
  • Support after enrollment. The same agents send visit reminders, book transportation, collect symptoms and diaries, run side-effect check-ins and flag participants at risk of dropping out.⁠[48]
  • Security you can check. Bond is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type I compliant, its SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 audits are underway, and its public Trust Center lists 73 HIPAA Security Rule controls, monitored continuously. See security.⁠[48],[49]

Where are Boston's research hubs?

Selected Boston research institutions and what each reports on its own site, as of October 2026
InstitutionWhat it isWhat it reports
Mass General BrighamAcademic health system with 14 hospitals, including Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's⁠[18]A $2 billion annual research investment supporting 3,700+ ongoing clinical trials⁠[18].

Tufts Medical Center and Tufts CTSIAcademic medical center in Tufts Medicine⁠[32], and Tufts University's translational science instituteTufts CTSI, established in 2008, is a partnership of 39 organizations⁠[15]
  • Cancer. NCI lists two designated cancer centers in Massachusetts: Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston, a comprehensive cancer center, and the Koch Institute at MIT in Cambridge, a basic laboratory center.⁠[10] The Boston consortium now calls itself the Harvard Cancer Consortium and counts over 1,100 cancer researchers at seven institutions.⁠[11]
  • Translational science. Three NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award hubs are in Boston: Harvard Catalyst at Harvard Medical School, Tufts CTSI and the Boston University CTSI, whose new award began in August 2026.⁠[12],[14],[15],[16] NCATS says more than 60 institutions nationwide receive CTSA funding.⁠[13]
  • Federal funding. Boston ranked second among US cities in NIH funding for federal fiscal 2025, at $2,467,046,114, just behind New York.⁠[17] MassBio's 2026 snapshot puts Massachusetts first in NIH funding per capita, at $477.⁠[24]
  • Industry trials. Citing Trialtrove data from July 2026, MassBio counts roughly 2,400 Massachusetts trials in active development, 35% of them early phase, and says 57% of sponsor participation in the state is commercial, against 38% for the US.⁠[24]

Community health centers37 HRSA-funded awardees serving 884,863 patients statewide in 2025⁠[8]Varies by center

Nearly every large Boston system now runs Epic, but several switched only in 2024 or 2025. A system that changed EHRs may keep older notes and results in a legacy archive, so confirm how many years of history the live record holds before relying on a lookback criterion. Bond connects to all the major EHRs, including Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), MEDITECH, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Veradigm and OncoEMR, through FHIR, HL7 or an aggregator.⁠[47],[48] It also works with the CTMS systems sites use, including CRIO, Advarra OnCore, Advarra Clinical Conductor, RealTime and Veeva SiteVault (Bond is a CRIO Certified Partner).⁠[47] See Epic, MEDITECH and EHRs for recruitment.

Massachusetts health center patients with limited English proficiency, 2025

Suffolk County, which contains Boston, was 24.9% Hispanic, 17.6% non-Hispanic Black and 10.5% non-Hispanic Asian on July 1, 2025. It has a smaller share of older residents than the state: 14.2% were 65 or older, against 19.9% statewide.⁠[4] In 2024, 28.5% of Boston residents were born abroad and 3.3% were uninsured.⁠[5],[6]

Spanish is the most common language other than English: 101,881 Boston residents speak it at home, and 47,527 of them speak English less than very well. Next are French, Haitian or Cajun (32,474) and Chinese (28,110, of whom 16,378 speak English less than very well).⁠[7] Boston Medical Center says almost 30 percent of its patients speak a primary language other than English, including Haitian Creole and Cape Verdean Creole.⁠[9] At the state's health centers in 2025, 36.91% of patients were Hispanic or Latino and 41.04% had Medicaid or CHIP.⁠[8]

A representative Boston cohort usually needs outreach in Spanish, Haitian Creole and Chinese, plus the clinics that serve those patients. Bond's voice and text agents work in the patient's language and can switch languages mid-call.⁠[48] See FQHCs and community sites.

Which site networks and research sites work in the Boston area?

Beyond the academic centers, several multi-site research organizations list Boston-area locations on their own websites, as of October 2026:

  • Care Access lists its corporate headquarters at 33 Arch Street in Boston and a multi-specialty site in Quincy.⁠[35]
  • Adams Clinical lists Boston and Watertown among six locations in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas.⁠[36]
  • DM Clinical Research lists a Boston-area site at 209 Harvard Street in Brookline, one of 17 locations across 13 states.⁠[37],[38]
  • Alcanza lists Boston Clinical Trials in Boston and ActivMed Research in Methuen.⁠[39]

Bond is a CRIO Certified Partner, its only vendor certification.⁠[47] See how Bond fits research sites, site networks and CRIO.

Which Massachusetts laws apply to AI outreach, texting and health data?

None of these laws was written for trial recruitment, and how each applies to pre-screening is unsettled. This is a map for your counsel, current as of October 5, 2026, not legal advice. For federal rules, see TCPA and AI outreach in 2026 and IRB and HIPAA rules for patient outreach.

  • Call recording (M.G.L. c. 272, § 99). Massachusetts treats secretly recording a call as an interception unless every party gave prior authority, with penalties of up to a $10,000 fine or five years in state prison.⁠[40] A recorded AI call to a Massachusetts patient should say at the start that it is recorded.
  • Telephone solicitation (M.G.L. c. 159C). Unsolicited sales calls are barred to numbers on the state's no-sales-solicitation list, between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., and by recorded message device.⁠[42] The law covers calls and messages that encourage the purchase or rental of, or investment in, property, goods or services, so a study invitation may fall outside it.⁠[41]
  • Genetic information (M.G.L. c. 111, § 70G). Providers may not disclose genetic test results to anyone but the patient without informed written consent, except as confidential research information under an IRB-approved protocol. The law's definition of a genetic test excludes tests to diagnose or detect an existing disease.⁠[43] If screening reads germline or molecular reports, ask the privacy office how this applies before outreach starts.
  • Consumer data privacy (S.2619). The Senate passed a Massachusetts Data Privacy Act 40-0 in September 2025, and the House passed its version 146-0 on June 4, 2026. The House version treats health and wellness information as sensitive data that cannot be sold without affirmative consent. As of October 5, 2026, the bill sat with a conference committee appointed in June and was not law.⁠[44],[45]
  • AI disclosure. As of October 5, 2026, no Massachusetts statute we reviewed requires AI disclosure in patient outreach. S.2632, a Senate bill on AI in health care decision-making, would require a licensed professional to tell a therapy patient in writing that AI will be used, and get consent, before using it where sessions are recorded or transcribed. It was sent to Senate Ways and Means on April 2, 2026.⁠[46]

How does Bond deploy with a Boston-area site?

Full EHR integration usually takes 48 hours, depending on the EHR, IT review and interface method, and there is no integration fee.⁠[47],[48] See implementation for the step-by-step plan and pricing for how fees work.

  1. 1

    Sign the paperwork

    Bond signs a business associate agreement, and the site confirms its IRB or privacy board path.⁠[47] For Massachusetts patients, agree on the recording notice, and if the protocol turns on genetic or molecular results, settle how Section 70G applies.

  2. 2

    Connect the EHR

    Connect Epic or another EHR through FHIR, HL7 or an aggregator.⁠[48] If the system moved to Epic recently, confirm where pre-migration history lives.

  3. 3

    Check criteria before outreach

    Bond reads clinical notes, prescriptions, lab results, imaging data and pathology, radiology and molecular reports, and shows criterion-by-criterion evidence for every match, so coordinators can review a sample before any patient is contacted.⁠[47],[48] See validating eligibility logic before go-live.

  4. 4

    Run ads, reach out and book

    Bond creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns for the study, paid from the site's own ad budget. Its voice and text agents contact every new lead immediately, keep following up with those who have not responded, pre-screen in the patient's language and book visits straight into the site's calendar, with reminders by text, voice or email.⁠[48]

  5. 5

    Support consent and retention

    After the booked visit, the agents can explain the study in plain language and answer questions, escalating to staff; the site and PI obtain consent. After enrollment they send visit reminders, book transportation and flag dropout risk.⁠[48] See consent.

Bring one open protocol and tell us which EHR your patients are in.

Frequently asked questions

How many clinical trials are recruiting near Boston?
On October 5, 2026, a ClinicalTrials.gov search for recruiting studies with a site within 25 miles of downtown Boston returned 2,961, including 1,130 that matched oncology keywords.⁠[1]
Can an AI recruitment call be recorded in Massachusetts?
Only if everyone on the call knows. Massachusetts treats secret recording without every party's prior authority as an interception, so recorded calls should open with a recording notice.⁠[40] This is not legal advice.
Does Massachusetts require patients to be told when AI is used?
As of October 5, 2026, no Massachusetts statute we reviewed requires it for patient outreach; S.2632, which covers AI in therapy settings, was still in committee.⁠[46] Bond's agents disclose AI use regardless.⁠[47]
