Incedo IntelliPatient AI-native adherence risk detection and personalized intervention

IntelliPatient connects the signals across a patient support program into a live, explainable view of who is at risk, why, and what action can be taken next.

Problem

Every day, patients decide whether or not to continue treatment.

The signals that reveal that decision reach the people who could support them far too late. A prior authorization taking too long, a failed shipment, engagement dropping away: the signal was there for weeks, but was sitting somewhere a case manager could not get to in time.

One patient, twelve weeks. Every signal was there; the case manager saw a list at week eleven.

Where it shows up

The signal exists. Nobody sees it until the patient has decided to stop.

01

Warning signs arrive too late

By the time a case manager receives a patient list, the deterioration has already accumulated. For example, a patient misses two refills, stops opening messages, and has decided to stop treatment before anyone sees it.

02

Teams see segments, not the individual

Population visibility stops short of individual intelligence. For instance, an analytics dashboard says forty patients in a cohort are at risk, but not which one to call this morning, or why you are calling them.

03

The same patient looks different in every system

No single system holds the whole picture. Pharmacy data shows a gap, the hub shows a stalled authorization, the engagement platform shows silence, and nobody is looking at all three.

04

Access barriers surface after the patient has stopped

A prior authorization sits unanswered for three weeks; nobody notices until the patient stops therapy. These administrative gaps carry heavy clinical consequences, yet they are much simpler to resolve than medical or behavioral issues when you have operational visibility.

05

Interventions cannot be cleanly attributed to outcomes

Programs cannot attribute outcomes to interventions. Outreach, escalations and nurse calls run across thousands of patients, and the budget often gets allocated by convention rather than evidence.

Archetypes

Same high-risk label. Three completely different interventions.

Adherence risk looks the same on a dashboard and means something completely different in reality. A missed refill on a weekly injection is not a missed refill on a quarterly infusion, so patients are grouped by how they engage with therapy, not by drug.

The patient who feels well The patient before routine The family navigating diagnosis
Therapy type Lifelong, self-administered Finite, fully self-managed High-touch, caregiver-led
Engagement window Indefinite Variable, tied to response Long, often pre-diagnosis
Patient agency Moderate. Manages at home. Full. No site involvement. Low. Caregiver coordinates.
Critical gap Drop-off once they feel stable. Early, before the regimen sticks. Diagnostic delay, not adherence.
What a missed refill means Possible disengagement Possible progression Possible coordination failure

A one-size-fits-all risk score can’t tell them apart. IntelliPatient’s AI Reasoning Engine, configured to each archetype, can. Each archetype carries its own definition of risk, its own drivers and its own interventions, so a missed refill is read against that patient’s therapy, not a portfolio average.

It works from day one, with or without your own predictive model.

Solution

One solution, three altitudes.

IntelliPatient is an AI-native adherence risk detection and intervention solution for life sciences patient support programs.

A coverage gap on its own means little. A coverage gap alongside a denied authorization and a patient who has stopped answering means something specific, and it calls for a different intervention than a patient who simply forgot.

Capabilities

What IntelliPatient enables.

1. Understand

See the whole patient, and why they are at risk

A full patient 360 view


Patient Context Engine


A patient risk profile you can understand and interrogate

A 30-day gap means nothing until you know the therapy. On a quarterly infusion it is routine; on a weekly injection it is four missed doses.

A financial barrier needs a different response from an administrative one, and both differ from a patient who has simply disengaged.

2. Act

Act on risk, one patient or one cohort at a time

Agentic omnichannel intervention matched to the risk driver


Population-level action where appropriate


A caseload worked by urgency

3. Run

Run the program on evidence, inside your stack

Portfolio-level diagnosis

Guardrails built in, not bolted on

The systems you already run, complemented

A patient can be high risk and still not contactable.

Modules

Three modules over one engine, from the portfolio down to one patient.

The same context and reasoning layers serve the executive reading the portfolio, the program team acting on a population, and the case manager working one patient.

Patient Journey Monitor

A portfolio view for digital health and patient services leadership. It reasons across brands and stages to show where the patient journey is breaking down, the root cause behind it, and which patient segments are most affected, whether by diagnostic delays, access barriers or disengagement on therapy.

Root cause · AI summary

Treatment initiation fell from 69% to 58% this quarter. The drop traces to two commercial payers that added a step-edit requirement in January. Time to first dose rose from 15 to 21 days, with delays concentrated in patients on those plans.

Suggested next step: re-verify benefits for affected patients before their first fill.


A population layer for manufacturer-side patient support teams. It groups patients by risk level and the driver behind it, with a root-cause explanation and recommended intervention per segment. Teams deploy approved outreach or escalate to case managers with the brief already assembled: agentic orchestration across channels, with a human confirming anything that reaches a patient.

Across the modules

Lia, an AI Assistant

The conversational assistant embedded across Patient Intelligence Hub, Case Manager Advisor, and eventually Patient Journey Monitor. Ask why a risk segment surfaced, which patients within it are at highest risk, or why an individual’s risk changed. Answers are grounded in the program’s own data and definitions, with figures traceable to source. Where the data, definitions or permissions do not support an answer, Lia says so.


The foundation

Patient Context Engine

The foundation that powers everything else. It holds the domain vocabulary and ontologies of patient support: what each signal means, how signals relate, and what they imply for risk and intervention. Without it, something like a coverage gap is just a number of days; with it, it is a risk signal that requires a specific intervention. Every figure, insight and recommendation across the three modules resolves against it.

Why IntelliPatient

Built for how patient support actually works.

It looks completely different across therapies and patient archetypes.

A patient on a lifelong biologic who has started feeling well and has completely disengaged, a patient three months into an oral therapy before the routine has formed, a family navigating a rare disease diagnosis: the same high-risk label, three different problems. A single model across a portfolio cannot tell them apart.

IntelliPatient runs one engine that produces a different model for each therapy and archetype. Risk is defined for that therapy, the drivers are specific to it, and the interventions come from what works there. Configured to each rather than rebuilt, and working from day one with or without a predictive model of your own.

It reads from the systems a program already runs: specialty pharmacy, patient access services, CRM, case management, and patient channels.

It doesn’t replace any of them. Access platforms still submit the authorizations, engagement platforms still send the messages, analytics still report on the quarter. IntelliPatient is what notices that authorization has been sitting for three weeks while the patient stopped answering texts.

Which signals matter, where the thresholds sit, what each risk driver leads to, and which interventions are available: all configured per program and per therapy.

Whether risk comes from your own model or from IntelliPatient’s AI Reasoning Engine, the same solution serves a lifelong biologic and a three-month oral therapy without being rebuilt for either.

Any system reasoning about adherence must know, for instance, what a coverage gap means, and why a copay lapse differs from a PA denial.

A horizontal AI layer can be configured toward this, but doesn’t come with this knowledge baked in, and every program would have to build it from scratch. IntelliPatient ships with this patient support domain already encoded. You simply configure the solution to your models, business rules, intervention library, and approved content.

Benefits

Keep more patients on therapy.

IntelliPatient helps patient support programs act on risk earlier and direct effort where it still makes a difference.

01

Better therapy adherence

More patients stay on therapy because risk surfaces while there’s still time to act on it.

Signals are read as they arrive, not at the next list refresh.

Prior authorization delays and copay lapses are caught as leading indicators, not after the patient has gone.

02

Better patient outcomes

Patients get the intervention that fits their barrier, not a generic nudge.

A financial barrier gets administrative action, an anxious patient gets a nurse educator, and a forgotten refill gets a reminder.

03

Patient support process effectiveness

Scarce case manager capacity goes where intervention still works, not to whoever appears on a list.

Interventions are captured against the driver they addressed, so a program can see which ones work and fund accordingly.

04

Portfolio visibility

Where the journey breaks down is visible in weeks, not in a quarterly report another team must assemble.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is IntelliPatient?

IntelliPatient is an AI-native adherence risk detection and intervention solution for life sciences patient support programs. It connects signals from dispensing, patient access and benefits, engagement, case management, and other available program data into a connected view of which patients may be at risk of coming off therapy, why they may be at risk, and what action can be taken. It works across three levels: portfolio, population, and individual patient.

Does IntelliPatient replace our existing patient support platform?

No. IntelliPatient works with the systems already running the patient support program. It is not a patient call center, specialty pharmacy platform, or CRM, and it does not require organizations to replace those systems.

We already work with a hub services provider. How does IntelliPatient fit alongside them?

IntelliPatient integrates with the existing hub ecosystem rather than competing with it. The hub continues to manage activities such as enrollment, benefits investigation, prior authorization, and case management. IntelliPatient connects the signals generated by those activities with specialty pharmacy, engagement, and other available data to provide risk intelligence and recommended actions.

Do we need our own predictive model to use IntelliPatient?

No. Where a program already has a predictive risk model, IntelliPatient can consume its output. Where one does not exist, the solution can derive risk levels from available signals with its AI Reasoning Engine. Programs can also evolve their risk models over time.

Does anything reach a patient automatically?

No. Every patient-facing action requires confirmation by a qualified patient support professional before it is sent. Patient-facing content is sourced from the MLR-approved library, and actions outside approved parameters are not permitted.

How does IntelliPatient handle MLR compliance for patient outreach?

Patient-facing content is drawn from the program’s approved content library, with substitution permitted only at approved points. Access is scoped by role and enforced before data reaches the intelligence layer. Recommendations, approvals, overrides, and outreach actions are logged to an audit trail.

What data does IntelliPatient need?

At minimum, the platform can work with dispensing or shipment data with days supply, patient access and benefits status, and engagement activity. Claims data can further strengthen the picture where available. IntelliPatient is designed to work with the data a program has rather than requiring a complete data set.

How long does implementation take?

Implementation depends on the number of source systems involved, the condition of the underlying data, and the scope of the use case. IntelliPatient is configured around the program’s own definitions, including how adherence and risk are measured and which interventions are approved, rather than imposing a standard model. Implementation scope is determined during the initial engagement.

How is IntelliPatient different from the adherence analytics we already have?

Adherence analytics identify at-risk cohorts and report on what already happened. They name the segment, not the patient.

IntelliPatient reasons across the same signals and goes further: it identifies the individual patient, explains what is driving their risk, recommends the intervention that fits that driver, and routes it to the person who can act while there is still time. Analytics tell a program what happened. IntelliPatient tells it who to help, why, and how.

What therapy areas does IntelliPatient support?

Adherence analytics identify at-risk cohorts and report on what already happened. They name the segment, not the patient.

Analytics tell a program what happened. IntelliPatient tells it who to help, why, and how.

How does IntelliPatient handle patient data?

IntelliPatient handles patient data within applicable HIPAA and PHI-sharing constraints, with role-based access controls and an audit trail across the platform. Incedo is prepared to enter into appropriate contractual arrangements, including Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and, where applicable, Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), subject to review and agreement on the specific scope of services, data processing activities, and contractual terms.
