Burson, the global communications leader purpose-built to create value for clients through reputation, has announced the launch of Decipher Health, its new cognitive artificial intelligence (AI) offering designed to optimise communications impact and stakeholder engagement across patient, advocate, healthcare provider, health decision makers and analyst communities.
Decipher Health by Burson has trained cognitive AI models on a broad spectrum of disease areas, including general health, oncology, neurology, diabetes, respiratory, and sexual health. As part of WPP Open, Decipher Health will be made available to all WPP healthcare clients and is the latest innovation for Health@WPP.
“The volume of information in the healthcare space can be both daunting and riddled with inaccuracies for people who are searching for material on a particular disease or therapeutic area,” said Chad Latz, chief innovation officer, Burson.
“We created this capability to predict with near certainty the potential for impact – including credibility and engagement - that content can have on a wide range of healthcare-specific audiences. This ensures we can help our clients cut through with communications and marketing that build their reputations, but also deliver valuable and effective resources across the patient journey.”
In addition to message testing, Decipher Health tracks the impact of a variety of global macro themes that can affect the healthcare system, including economy; drug costs, pricing and access; supply chain; DEI; sustainability; elections; reproductive rights; women’s health and armed conflict.
“What makes this such an extraordinary tool is the depth of our audience modelling,” said Brenna Terry, global chair, Healthcare, Burson. “Our patient audience is segmented beyond typical demographics to include a wide range of social determinants that can make people more – or less – likely to be susceptible to a disease and receptive to information. Drilling down to such a precise level ensures that we reach the right people at the right time with precisely the right content.
“Decipher Health allows us to analyze gaps in message uptake among different critical healthcare stakeholders,” Terry continued. “What resonates with a patient is different than what will make an impact with a physician or an analyst."
