In this episode of The Clinical Research Coach, host Leanne Woehlke sits down with Alen Hadzic, Founder and CEO of CT Scan, to explore how data, digital advertising, and AI are reshaping the way patients are enrolled into clinical trials.Coming from a background in consulting, marketing strategy, and lead generation, Alen brings a fresh lens to one of the industry's most persistent challenges—patient recruitment and enrollment. Rather than relying on traditional recruitment models, his company has developed a methodology called Predictive Enrollment Engineering, designed to calculate and optimize cost-per-enrollment using real-world advertising data.Alen shares how CT Scan's patent-pending AI platform, Dyno AI, analyzes millions of dollars in digital advertising performance across dozens of clinical research projects to model enrollment funnels—from ad engagement and qualification to phone contact, eligibility, and final enrollment.During the conversation, Leanne and Alen discuss:Why traditional patient recruitment models often fail to deliver resultsThe hidden friction points that cause patients to drop out of the enrollment funnelHow digital advertising can be used to measure and optimize patient interestThe importance of rapid follow-up and human engagement in improving response ratesHow CT Scan achieves a 65% phone answer rate through immediate outreach and optimized workflowsWhy focusing on cost per enrollment—not cost per lead—changes the entire recruitment strategyAlen also shares his unconventional journey into the clinical trials industry—from early exposure to research through his physician father to a career in consulting and entrepreneurship that ultimately led him to rethink how clinical trials approach patient enrollment.If clinical trial recruitment has ever felt unpredictable, inefficient, or frustrating, this episode offers a data-driven perspective on how AI, marketing science, and operational discipline could transform enrollment into a measurable and predictable process.Tune in to learn how predictive modeling and digital marketing principles may help bring new optimism to clinical trial enrollment.Alen Hadzic is a healthcare technology entrepreneur focused on bringing predictability and operational rigor to clinical trial enrollment. He is the Founder and CEO of CT SCAN™, a company developing systems to remove uncertainty from patient recruitment by engineering enrollment as a measurable process rather than a marketing outcome. His work centers on Predictive Enrollment Engineering™, a methodology that models each stage of the patient journey, from initial awareness through screening and enrollment, using probability-based performance metrics. The company's patent-pending enrollment technology, DYNO Ai™, analyzes operational and advertising data to forecast cost-per-enrollment and reduce study timelines.Hadzic holds a graduate degree from Columbia University and completed a Master's in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Vlerick Business School, a top-ranked European program in the field. His background combines business strategy, systems thinking, and applied analytics in clinical research operations.Outside of his professional work, he is an active musician who records and performs his own material, playing guitar, drums, and vocals. He approaches both technology and music with a similar philosophy: structured systems can create reliable outcomes, but creativity determines how far those outcomes can be pushed.
Happy olympics! As you may have guessed, in this special episode we're talking everything olympics! Starting with none other than the legendary gymnast herself, Simone Biles, and her decision to take care of her self (we're so proud of you!). Then we brought up the heavy topic of how the committee allowed an alleged sex offender, Alen Hadzic, to compete in this year's Olympics. Seriously? As it turns out, the journey of women I'm the Olympics had never been easy from the beginning. Also, we talked about the Norwegian beach handball team's bravery in standing up for women's rights despite the fines. Ending it on a flip trick, skateboarding made it to the Olympics and it is an absolute joy to watch!

The Summer 2020 Olympics are out of control. Michelle and Sam talk about Simone Biles, her decision to withdraw, and the twisties. Michelle gets mad about the disparity between the actions taken against Sha'Carri Richardson vs. Alen Hadzic. The ladies revisit their pre-teen years and the shoplifting phenomena that plagued their friends and classmates (& themselves).

Warning: This episode discusses various sexual assault, harassment, and other crimes of this nature. While I don't discuss these in graphic depth, I still do discuss certain situations. Over the past couple months, there have been several instances of famous and notable individuals who are either accused of sexual crimes or have updates related to previous accusations or cases. I discuss several individuals, including the hirings of Chauncey Billups and Jason Kidd, Bill Cosby's release from prison, Drake Bell's trial, and accusations against Diplo. With several instances of this, I fear that we are taking a step back in the Me Too movement. Note: This episode was recorded on July 18th, so it does not account for the suspension Starlin Castro received (30 games), DeShaun Watson reporting to training camp, or US Men's Fencing alternate Alen Hadzic being allowed to attend the while being accused of sexual assault. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matthew-kirby/support
The Rojo Show vents for a little but then jumps into some comfy topics. We talk about my life the last few months, we talk about black hair, we talk about some of my dance history, we talk about new gun ownership, at some point we tackle Sha' Carri Richardson vs Megan Rapinoe and Alen Hadzic and all the Olympic mess. Thanks for listening, tell a friend.
We discuss the need to mask back up in public places, defend Simone Biles's decision to withdraw from the Olympics for mental health reasons, and then complain about Brett Kavanaugh because the more we learn about his confirmation the more disgusting and unfair it becomes, even with 3 years of distance. The FBI's most recent report on how they handled their "investigation" into the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh only reinforces the disgrace of that Supreme Court confirmation.
