KDH was founded in 2003 by a small group of health care industry professionals with a mission to revolutionize clinical trials recruitment.

In our early years we developed and delivered workflow automation solutions to major hospitals in the San Francisco area. Building on the success of those solutions the company recognized that our technology could be applied to a larger healthcare industry problem – reducing the time required and cost of clinical trials.

Our team then developed the Global Health Network (GHN) – an Internet-based, self-organizing network – that can connect all hospitals, clinics and urgent care centers. The GHN is an extension of our field proven GOAL core technology.

Our business plan anticipates delivering more than 275,000 qualified subjects for our client’s clinical trials within five years, at costs significantly below those of current recruiting methods and in significantly shorter time. The GHN has been designed to simultaneously handle more than 25,000 trials at 10,000 hospitals.

GHN technology is in daily use at UCSF and Stanford Medical Centers. More than 300,000 patients have been screened for participation, resulting in more than 15,000 clinical trial enrollments.

When fully deployed, the GHN will automatically screen hundreds of millions of hospital admissions in the U.S. and abroad against the inclusion and exclusion criteria of thousands of clinical trials.  Each clinical trial using GHN becomes its own virtual subnet of participating enrollment sites. GHN informs the clinical trial managers and Principal Investigators of potential trial subjects in real time when the patient’s medical and demographic information fulfills the screening criteria.
