Patients Know Best (PKB) and myTomorrows have partnered to enable UK patients with unmet medical needs to access their health records and conduct more efficient searches for further treatment options.

Under the partnership, which was announced on 25 February 2025, patients can securely share their PKB record with myTomorrows if they want to search for clinical trials.

Global health tech firm myTomorrows will use the information provided by the patient to identify relevant pre-approval treatments such as clinical trials and where applicable, Expanded Access Programs (EAPs), via their free AI-powered search platform and patient navigation.

Dr Michel van Harten, chief executive of myTomorrows, said: ā€œIt is a privilege to partner with Patients Know Best, an organisation which values and champions patient centricity as much as myTomorrows.

ā€œThrough this partnership we will enable patients and their physicians to more easily identify the most relevant pre-approval treatment options.

ā€œWhen standard care no longer addresses a patient’s medical needs, the search for alternative solutions can be overwhelming.

ā€œThrough this collaboration, we aim to give patients, their families, and healthcare professionals across the UK a simplified way of identifying the next steps in their treatment journey.ā€

The partnership will also provide patients with a PKB profile, integrated with the NHS App, with an efficient way to explore potential pre-approval treatment options for unmet medical needs.

Patients can consent to securely share their medical records, stored within PKB, with myTomorrows, enabling them to conduct a full comprehensive treatment search based on their unique profile.

Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, chief executive and founder of PKB, said: ā€œAt Patients Know Best, our mission is to ensure that every patient has access to and ownership of their personal health records, with the ability to control who can view them and use relevant information to manage their care.

ā€œThrough this partnership, we are excited to further empower patients to make more informed decisions regarding their health.ā€

The myTomorrows’ platform sources information from a wide range of trusted, World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed public registries.

Rather than manually pulling together medical records, via this collaboration patients can save time by consenting to share their health records from PKB with the myTomorrows patient navigator team who use the information to create a personalised trial search overview, revealing relevant pre-approval treatments which the patient may be eligible for.

The patient and their clinician can then review and discuss whether a treatment option could be pursued with myTomorrows providing support on potentially accessing that treatment option.

PKB also announced a partnership with health tech startup PocDoc in February 2025, which aims to enable patients to more easily access and share their screening results.
