Overview

Animated Personas representing physician specialists or patient types can be built from a company’s segmentation data or other primary or secondary research data.  These Animated Personas, always evolving alongside the segment they represent, can be used in place of human respondents or as a cost- and time-saving replacement for traditional research projects like product testing, message testing, and segment monitoring (ethnography).

Persona Insights Monitoring

Persona Insights Monitoring uses machine learning bots known as Animated Personas to keep an eye on your targeted physician specialities and patient types so that you can quickly spot changing medical needs and prescription trends.

Our service begins when we meet with you to determine the types of Animated Personas you are interested in monitoring.  These Animated Personas can be built to represent any type of physician speciality or patient required the meet your research goals.  Animated Personas can be created from a variety of sources, including your existing research data, your existing segmentation data or other primary or secondary data sources.  And because we are a full-service research firm, we can provide you with analytical findings, or you can use our Do-It-Yourself (DIY) platform to uncover insights.

Once physician and patient Animated Personas are created, they are sent out to the Internet where they autonomously select material to read that corresponds with their designated traits and preferences.  Because Animated Personas are machine learning agents, they are influenced by the material they encounter in much the same way that traditional respondents are influenced by the world around them. This ability allows Animated Personas to evolve over time, ensuring that they always are “up-to-date” — reflecting the changing needs and knowledge of physicians and patients..

With Persona Insights Monitoring, you will have an opportunity to continuously see what your physician and patient Animated Personas are viewing and how they are responding to it.  You will be able to see:

  • Topics that physician and patients Animated Personas are reviewing
  • Topics that are trending upward and downward
  • The interest levels of your Animates Personas in trending topics
  • The full text of articles that are behind the trending topics
  • Publications where your Animated Personas found the articles that support the trends.

You can monitor this information as often as you like, according to time frames that meet your needs. Your in-house team can analyze this information for you through our easy to use DIY platform or PersonaPanels can provide you with analytical results on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis.

Persona Messaging

Persona Messaging allows you to use your physician and patient Animated Personas to quickly uncover findings whenever you want and as often as you want.

Once your Animated Personas representing physicians and patients have been created (as described in Persona Insights Monitoring, above), they are sent out to the Internet where they autonomously select material to read that corresponds with their designated traits and preferences.  Because Animated Persons are machine learning agents, material they access and find interesting becomes integrated into their personalities, influencing both their future reading choices and their responses to your product concepts and messages.  This ensures that your results are always reflective of current trends and changing physician and patient preferences.

Physician and patient Animated Personas have many advantages over traditional human respondents when it comes to your product and message testing:

  • There are no limitations on the number of product concepts and messages you can test since Animated Personas do not fatigue
  • Animated Personas are not influenced by the product concepts and messages you have already presented to them, so they are able to react to your first concept or message and your 100th message with the same level of concentration and objectivity
  • You can afford to continually test your product concepts and messages and tweak them as necessary since Animated Personas do not require incentives
  • Animated Personas are available for testing any time of the day or night, accommodating your schedule and allowing you to always meet your research deadlines.

These advantages translate into quicker results that use less of your budget, allowing for better decisions that can be implemented faster.

Persona Panel Development

Just as in the traditional research world, panels are a vital part of PersonaPanels, with one notable difference: our panels give you the competitive advantage of machine learning bots known as Animated Personas.

With Animated Persona Panel Development, we can offer you two different ways to use Animated Personas in your panel research.  First, we can conduct a one-off research project for you that has a defined objective (for example, a project utilizing segmentation). Second, you can have us conduct multiple research projects for you utilizing one or more panel of Animated Personas that have been created to meet your ongoing research objectives (for instance, panels of “average” patients, panels of patients with specialized conditions, panels of doctors or other medical specialists, etc.). And since our Personas are machine learning agents that are continuously evolving along with market and research trends, you can be assured that your Animated Persona panels will be as reflective of your target respondents a year from now as they are today.

There are groundbreaking advantages to using Persona Panel Development for your research needs:

  • Animated Persona research allows for up-to-the-minute results and an opportunity to investigate those results as often as you like so you need never again rely on static, moment-in-time data
  • Animated Personas can be developed from data representing vast numbers of physician or patients, ensuring that each Animated Persona on your panel fully reflects the segment it represents
  • Animated Personas do not fatigue and therefore can be exposed to large numbers of research messages, product concepts, or ideas, so instead of trying to figure out what should be included in your research, you can test as many variations as you want
  • Because Personas allow you to have access to data as often as you like, you will have continuous opportunities to detect new trends and changing preferences among your target market
  • Using Animated Personas for your research needs allows you to maximize privacy since sensitive topics are not being reviewed by humans
