CASE STUDY: How Storke uses Valyu to cut clinical evaluation timelines by more than half
About Storke
Storke saves patient lives by getting innovative medical devices to market 3x faster. The regulatory process in Europe can take years because of the sheer volume of documentation required. Storke uses AI agents to handle the grunt regulatory work, embedded directly where regulatory experts already work and heavily integrating with the tools they use, so life-saving technologies don't sit on the shelf because of paperwork.
Central to every medical device's path to market is clinical evaluation: systematic literature reviews, structured searches across scientific databases, result screening, and evidence compilation. This research phase alone used to take consultants and medical writers weeks.
The Challenge
Getting a medical device approved in Europe requires comprehensive clinical evaluation reports backed by rigorous academic evidence. Regulatory teams must conduct PRISMA-compliant systematic literature reviews, compile state-of-the-art summaries, and produce clinical evaluation reports that meet the scrutiny of notified bodies.
The research phase of this process takes weeks. Consultants and medical writers manually search scientific databases, screen results for relevance, and compile evidence into structured reports. For every device. Every time. The bottleneck slows down regulatory teams and delays technologies from reaching patients who need them.
The Solution: Valyu Integration
Storke integrated Valyu into the retrieval and research layers of their clinical evaluation pipeline, giving their AI agents direct access to real academic and regulatory literature. Valyu's output feeds directly into the documents regulators actually need.
PRISMA-Compliant Search Reports. Valyu powers structured, reproducible searches across academic and scientific databases, generating the systematic search documentation required for regulatory submissions.
State-of-the-Art Summaries. By surfacing relevant clinical literature in real time, Valyu enables Storke's agents to compile comprehensive summaries of the current state of the art for any given device category.
Clinical Evaluation Reports. The evidence retrieved through Valyu feeds directly into full clinical evaluation reports, ensuring every claim is grounded in real, traceable academic literature.
Valyu powers the retrieval and research layers in our clinical evaluation pipeline, giving our agents access to real academic and regulatory literature that feeds directly into PRISMA-compliant search reports, state-of-the-art summaries, and clinical evaluation reports.
Integration Experience
Storke's engineering team had Valyu running in production quickly. The MCP and AI SDK-compatible tooling slotted cleanly into their existing multi-agent architecture with effectively no setup required.
Valyu was incredibly straightforward to integrate. Their MCP and AI SDK-compatible tooling slotted cleanly into our existing multi-agent architecture. The platform itself is also super useful and easy to use, with effectively no setup needed.
Results & Impact
Since integrating Valyu, Storke's users have seen concrete improvements across the board:
50%+ time savings on clinical evaluation: The research phase that took consultants weeks now runs automatically. Regulatory professionals spend their time on quality review, strategic decisions, and taking on more clients.
Traceable, citable evidence: Every clinical evaluation report is backed by literature from real academic and scientific databases, meeting the standard regulators expect.
Faster time to market: With the research bottleneck removed, the entire regulatory pipeline moves faster, getting devices to patients sooner.
Valyu delivers our users a super streamlined clinical research experience that is also seamlessly integrated into our platform. It allows them to free up more than half the time they spend on clinical evaluation, so that they can focus on more strategic work and take on more clients.
Why Valyu
Clinical evaluation demands access to real academic literature, structured reproducible searches, and tooling that works natively within autonomous AI agents. Valyu covers all three through a single API: academic paper search, web search, and scientific database access with native MCP and AI SDK support for agentic workflows.
Storke plugged Valyu into their multi-agent stack and immediately had production-grade research capabilities across their entire clinical evaluation pipeline. As they continue expanding, Valyu remains a core part of their data infrastructure.
