Contextual Intelligence 360 builds on Aktana’s legacy AI strength in sales channel optimization to bring the same level of machine learning precision and contextual insights to all commercial activities. The solution can be configured to each brand’s unique strategy, incorporates any data or AI model, and can quickly extend across teams, franchises and regions. As part of the Contextual Intelligence 360 vision, commercial and medical teams will be able to expertly coordinate all of their interactions across the entire workflow from a single user interface.

Life sciences companies have been struggling to fit the pieces of the omnichannel puzzle together for more than a decade, even with continued advancement in AI and machine learning technologies. Data quality, vendor complexity, and change management challenges have challenged global rollouts. Now, as the use of digital is skyrocketing and HCPs are time-constrained like never before, coordinated omnichannel engagement with HCPs is crucial for success.

“One of our goals is to create meaningful and relevant interactions with physicians to support them in prioritizing patient care and taking into consideration their preferences,” said Quentin Lepont, global head of customer excellence & operations at Biogen. “We are upgrading our digital infrastructure with scalable artificial intelligence solutions and we are pleased to collaborate with Aktana on innovative programs to enable our teams to deliver personalized, coordinated experiences for our customers globally.”
