29 Jan OVID Health announces partnership with AI patient insights charity White Swan
Leading independent health communications consultancy OVID Health and patient insights charity White Swan have announced a new collaboration, designed to use the power of social data to inform and inspire patient-centric campaigns for life sciences companies.
OVID becomes the first European comms consultancy to work with White Swan and harness its disruptive AI insights platform, Million Minds, to inform its healthcare communications counsel and capabilities. In working with White Swan, OVID will leverage proprietary technology and leading-edge data science across therapy areas including mental health, dementia, oncology, and rare diseases.
By harnessing data from Million Minds, including information on patient behaviours, preferences and needs, OVID will further bolster its expertise in ensuring its counsel and campaigns for clients are firmly patient-centric and have the ability to be truly transformative.
The partnership will underpin OVID’s global pro bono Patient Partnership Index initiative and ongoing research initiatives.
“Partnering with White Swan is a fantastic addition to our client offer – and reflective of our position as thought leaders in patient advocacy & engagement. We’re always looking for ways to create and execute truly patient-centric programmes, and working with White Swan means we can go even deeper into patients’ needs, preferences and desires to ensure our campaigns will resonate and make a real, positive difference to patients’ lives.”, said Jenny Ousbey, CEO of OVID Health.
“We’re thrilled to partner with OVID because their patient-centric mission really chimes with ours. Social data has the potential to transform and save lives, especially when combined with disruptive AI, and yet it is still hugely underutilised. Million Minds was originally designed to help accelerate diagnosis and improve treatment outcomes for patients, so we are delighted to utilise it to now also inform healthcare campaigns. We look forward to how we will further help patients together.” added Miranda Mapleton, CEO of White Swan.
