Listen to the new episode of the Clinical Trial Files podcast, where Karin Avila, Taymeyah Al-Toubah and Thomas Wood of Fast Data Science chat about AI and NLP in pharma, the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, what impact AI can make in clinical trials. This episode commemorates Alan Turing’s 113rd birthday on 23 June 2025.
The group chatted about how a team of data scientists together with clinical professionals can be much greater than the sum of its parts, and what traditional machine learning, statistics, and generative AI can achieve in the clinical research field.
Thomas Wood also discussed the thinking behind Fast Data Science’s flagship product, the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, and why and how this tool came to exist and how it’s helping clinical researchers validate protocols. Karin and Taymeyah told us about the exciting developments in AI that they are seeing in clinical research.
The Clinical Trial Files podcast is organised by Karin Avila, Taymeyah Al-Toubah, and Roberto Torres. You can listen below on Spotify:

Fast Data Science are pleased to announce we have updated the UK Company Details Google Sheets™ plugin. The plugin allows you to retrieve details such as company number, incorporation date, address, and directors’ details from Companies House (the UK company registry) and automatically populate them in columns of a Google Sheets™ spreadsheet.
This is an article based on my presentation on “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Expert Investigations and the Preparation of reports” which I gave at the Expert Witness Conference on 20 May 2026.
Many companies and organisations have large datasets that are stored in a very unstructured format. For example, you could work for a US based healthcare provider or insurer and have patient records stored in a free text format such as HL7 files or PDFs. A building regulator, land registry, or mortgage provider may have texts and accompanying diagrams from thousands of building inspections or land title deeds. A patent attorney’s office may have records of patent applications in PDF format.
