Branford, CT, March 23, 2023 – BEKhealth, a leading AI-powered patient-matching technology company serving the clinical trial industry, today announced that David Levin has joined the company as president and chief executive officer. In this role, Levin will lead the company’s strategic direction and growth initiatives.
A 2x CEO and executive at multiple startups, David brings over 25 years of experience as a leader in building clinical research and digital health companies.

About BEKhealth
BEKhealth Corporation operates an AI-powered patient-matching software platform serving the clinical trial industry. The platform allows life sciences and healthcare organizations to speed up site selection and patient recruitment by extracting data from electronic medical records (EMRs), which includes structured and unstructured clinical data that captures three times more trial criteria. BEKhealth’s AI-driven data platform uses a proprietary ontology that has been built from 400+ medical libraries aligned against 70,000 protocols to standardize patient data to its interoperable clinical data model. Analyzing records for more than 43 million patients at over 300 partner clinical sites, BEKhealth leverages its extensive knowledge of patient populations to enhance enrollment optimization and detect more protocol-eligible candidates than traditional methods. Given that only 3% of practicing physicians engage in medical research, and less than 9% of patients receive an invitation to participate in clinical trials, BEKhealth’s mission is to enhance human health and well-being by significantly increasing patient access to clinical research.
