Startup idea: match patients seeking to enroll in clinical trials with clinical trials that they're eligible for. The need is two-sided; clinical trials struggle with recruitment AND patients struggle to get access to experimental therapies.
ooh, interesting! what are the other things blocking patient recruitment?

the big thing is most patients aren't 100% sure if they're eligible for a trial or not, so screening and making sure they know what's required of someone joining a trial is the big thing + whether they think that's worth the effort or not

Probably the main factor is that most patients aren't even eligible for most clinical trials (particularly for drug trials, the companies specify very narrow conditions that limit any comorbidities, etc., so that they maximize the chance of a good result).
