Unlocking Patient Insights Through AI-Driven Interviews: A New Frontier in Healthcare Research

At the EPHMRA 2024 conference in Switzerland, Mama Health’s CEO presented a bold new approach to understanding patient preferences and attitudes using AI-driven interviews. Traditional patient journey mapping often struggles to capture the full scope of patient experiences due to limited sample sizes and the challenges of analyzing qualitative data. Mama Health’s methodology, however, leverages Generative AI (Gen AI) to conduct large-scale, in-depth patient interviews that dive into the nuances of patient sentiment, behaviors, and needs.

The process is systematic and innovative. Gen AI conducts real-time, natural conversations with patients, allowing it to capture subtle details often missed in conventional research. From there, advanced Process Mining algorithms extract and structure the data, reverse-engineering a comprehensive patient journey model. This model provides insights into how patients interact with the healthcare system, highlighting unmet needs, decision-making factors, and emotional drivers that influence patient behavior.

The implications are profound. With a clear, data-driven understanding of patient experiences, healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies can refine their strategies to better align with real patient journeys. From identifying barriers in accessing care to tailoring interventions, the insights gained through this AI-driven approach pave the way for a more responsive, patient-centered healthcare system. By merging patient voices with real-world evidence, this research opens up new avenues for improving patient satisfaction and health outcomes across the board.
