How MyTrial works
The Health Passport, explained
5 min read · Reviewed by clinical staff · Last updated 2026-06-10
Anyone who has navigated serious illness knows the ritual: the same forms, the same history, retyped for every new clinic, portal, and study. The Health Passport exists to end that ritual on MyTrial. It's a single, structured record of your health story — built once, owned by you, reused everywhere you choose.
What goes in it
Your conditions, your medications, key lab values, procedures, and the history that trials actually ask about. You add what you want, when you want — a passport with three entries already improves your matches; a fuller one sharpens them further. Nothing is required up front, and you can build it gradually as you go.
Who can see it
You, first and always. When you apply to a trial, the relevant parts of your passport travel with that application to the site you chose — that's the point of having it. Sharing is per-application, not blanket: applying to one study shares nothing with any other, and access is revocable. Your passport is never sold and never shared without an action you took.
Why it exists
Two reasons. The selfish one: you stop re-entering your history, and screening conversations start from a complete picture instead of a blank form. The structural one: matching quality compounds — every criterion we can check against a real value in your passport is one less unknown in your match results, and one less surprise at screening.
