Bond Health vs 1nHealth

Why is Bond better than 1nHealth?

• Your own patients, not only ad respondents. 1nHealth recruits direct to patient through digital ads and does not use patient databases.^⁠[2] Bond's Identify also screens your EHR, reading clinical notes, prescriptions and lab results, with chart evidence for every criterion.^⁠[14],[15] In one published trial, 30.3% of provider referrals were randomized, against 4.3% of Facebook self-referrals.^⁠[12]
• 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.^⁠[15]
• The screening visit is booked during recruitment. 1nHealth describes pre-screening before passing referrals on to the site; who books the first visit is not publicly documented, and its AI visit booking is described for enrolled patients.^⁠[2],[6] Bond's agents pre-screen patients and book the screening visit in the same conversation.^⁠[15]
• Consent support in the same workflow. Bond's Consent support explains the consent form in plain language, answers patient questions and escalates to staff, while the site and PI obtain consent.^⁠[14]
• It plugs into the site's CTMS. Bond works with CRIO, Advarra OnCore, Advarra Clinical Conductor, RealTime and Veeva SiteVault, and is a CRIO Certified Partner.^⁠[14] A 1nHealth integration with a site CTMS is not publicly documented (November 2026).^⁠[9],[6]
• No integration fee. Bond charges a volume-based fee per screened patient plus a percentage of each randomized patient's milestone payments, from randomization onward (pricing).^⁠[14],[15]

How do Bond and 1nHealth compare, capability by capability?

1nHealth entries come from 1nHealth's website, case studies and partner announcements, read on November 8, 2026. "Not publicly documented" means we found no public description, not that the capability does not exist.

Can Bond do what 1nHealth is known for?

• Direct-to-patient ads. 1nHealth targets people who are already interested, with ads across social and search.^⁠[3],[8] Bond creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns for each study, and its agents contact every new lead immediately.^⁠[15] See trial ads.
• Several levels of pre-screening. 1nHealth pre-screens every submission at several levels.^⁠[3] For patients found in your EHR, Bond checks every criterion against the chart first, then its voice agents ask only what the chart cannot answer.^⁠[14],[15]
• One view of every referral. 1nData shows how many referrals were disqualified and why.^⁠[5] Bond's dashboard and audit trail report patients matched, contacted, pre-screened, consented and randomized, and coordinator hours saved.^⁠[14]
• Retention. 1nHealth's retention platform escalates from app nudges to AI text, AI voice and a human coordinator.^⁠[6] Bond's same agents send visit reminders, book transportation, collect symptoms and diaries, run side-effect check-ins and flag participants at risk of dropping out.^⁠[15]
• Paying at milestones. 1nHealth prices on milestones such as signed ICFs or randomization.^⁠[3] Bond charges a percentage of each randomized patient's milestone payments, from randomization onward, plus a volume-based fee per screened patient.^⁠[14],[15]

What does a 1nHealth referral ask of the site?

A referral is a patient who still has to be reached, screened against the full protocol and booked. Where the vendor hands that off, the site's staff do it: Clariness, another recruitment vendor, reported in 2024 that sites take an average of 17 days to make first contact with an interested patient and 30.5 days to schedule the first visit.^⁠[10] In a May 2026 survey of 100 US sites, 52% said at least one in five referrals is ruled ineligible before formal screening.^⁠[11]

With Bond, there is no referral queue. Ad leads go straight to Bond's voice and text agents, which contact every lead immediately, keep following up with those who have not responded, then pre-screen patients and book them for screening visits, alongside patients found in your EHR.^⁠[15] Ad copy and scripts still go to your IRB first, because FDA treats advertising as the start of informed consent.^⁠[13]

What evidence does Bond publish?

Published figures. Bond's website reports 90%+ matching accuracy, 50%+ less chart review, a 3x contact rate and up to 3x faster enrollment than manual recruitment.^⁠[14]

Technical report. Bond's matching method is written up in a technical report with results on public benchmarks, including 0.9312 micro F1 on the held-out n2c2 2018 cohort-selection task. The report is an August 2026 preprint that has not been peer reviewed, and it is available on request.^⁠[17]

Security and compliance. Bond is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type I compliant, its information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by Advantage Partners, and its SOC 2 Type II audit is underway.^⁠[15] Its public Trust Center lists 73 HIPAA Security Rule controls, monitored continuously by Vanta.^⁠[16] Bond signs BAAs; the security page has the details.^⁠[14]

How can you test Bond against 1nHealth on your own data?

Each company's figures come from its own methods, so the clearest comparison is a head-to-head pilot on the same protocol, and Bond welcomes one.

1. 1

   Pick one protocol

   Choose a study 1nHealth is already recruiting for, or one you would give it, so both work the same criteria.

2. 2

   Screen your EHR with Bond

   Identify ranks matches with chart evidence for each criterion. Have coordinators adjudicate a sample, including borderline cases, under a BAA.

3. 3

   Give Bond part of the same leads

   A Bond pilot can run outreach, pre-screening and scheduling on a list the site already has, such as ad leads or referrals, before EHR integration.^⁠[14]

4. 4

   Track every source to randomization

   Record leads, first contact, booked visits, screen failures and randomizations by source, with the days between each step.

5. 5

   Compare cost per randomized patient

   Add every fee and the coordinator hours each source used, then divide by randomizations. The cost per randomized patient calculator does the arithmetic.

How was this comparison made?

Bond Health, which sells recruitment software and competes with 1nHealth, wrote this page in November 2026. Statements about 1nHealth come only from public sources read on November 8, 2026: 1nHealth's homepage and FAQ, its pages for CROs, retention, enrollment solutions, 1nData, company overview and About, a published case study, and DSG's 2022 partnership announcement. We do not repeat 1nHealth's performance or audience-size claims, and where its materials are silent on a capability we say it is not publicly documented rather than guess. Statements about Bond come from Bond's website, product information, Trust Center and technical report. 1nHealth and 1nData are trademarks of their owner.
