Releases

2024  

JULY

In this release, we are thrilled to announce significant enhancements to our AI features that expand their capabilities. We've also made important internal updates to enhance our data management and customer support processes. These changes continue to strengthen our platform's efficiency, security, and usability.

Faster Time to Insights 

We've implemented a new, more powerful AI model to speed up response times for both Insight Generator and Instant Insights Engine. Users now receive insights 5x faster, with most insights returning in under 10 seconds. This substantial speed increase enables quicker analysis and decision-making based on your data.

Increased Collection Size for Insight Generator

Last month, we introduced the Insight Generator, which automatically summarizes key findings from a Collection in Sorcero. Previously, the Insight Generator was limited to analyzing Collections with a maximum of 50 records. However, teams can now extract insights from Collections containing up to 750 records. This enhancement allows teams to surface insights across a larger set of data, providing more comprehensive and valuable insights.

JUNE

This release introduces three powerful capabilities that help customers save countless hours reading records, quickly identify impactful insights, and drive Insight workflows from idea to action. Continue reading below to find out how Insight Generator, Scientific Sentiment, and Insights Manager deliver value to our customers. We are also excited to introduce three new rapid reports on medical insights, field medical, and KOL engagement.

Insight Generator

Life sciences companies often spend thousands of dollars on agencies to wade through mountains of records and extract key data, only to receive these important findings as static, dense reports.

In this release, we are introducing Insight Generator, which automatically summarizes a Collection in Sorcero using Sorcero’s Instant Insights Engine™. Part of our previous release, Instant Insights Engine lets teams ask questions of their data and instantly receive high-quality answers without manually reading through content. By combining Instant Insights Engine’s powerful summarizing capabilities with Sorcero Collections, teams no longer have to rely on expensive and slow third-party services.

Using Insight Generator
After creating a Collection, click on the crystal ball icon to generate insights based on the Collection’s records. Once Sorcero generates insights, either click to copy for use in a report or save as the Collection’s new description.

Benefits
Bringing the power of Instant Insights Engine to Collections closes the loop from data to insights in a single workflow

• Insight Discovery: Accelerate the discovery of insights 40x by eliminating the need to manually read through records to extract hidden insights.
• Reporting: Decrease the time it takes to develop reports from weeks to days.
• Impact Measurement: Calculate the number of Insights generated from different tactics, and quickly iterate on your strategy in weeks instead of months.

 

Scientific Sentiment

Extracting meaning from volumes of scientific data is labor- and time-intensive. Quickly locating KOL statements containing positive support or serious concerns is difficult. Measuring the change in how KOLs feel about products over time – especially across multiple channels of communication – has been almost impossible. 

To meet this need, we developed Sorcero Scientific Sentiment™ which uses advanced AI models to detect and tag sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral) on safety and efficacy topics across the records in a project. Sorcero Scientific Sentiment overcomes the shortcomings of traditional natural language processing (NLP) and sentiment solutions not built specifically for scientific data.

Sorcero Scientific Sentiment works in conjunction with Intelligent Medical Themes™ (IMT), Sorcero’s AI capability to automatically identify key themes in your medical data.

Using Scientific Sentiment
After Scientific Sentiment is activated for your Project by a Project Admin, you can quickly filter your data using the Sentiment filter:

You can also analyze your data by adding a Sentiment Trend Chart to a Dashboard:

 

Benefits

• Data Transformation: Eliminate hours of manual content tagging (if you bother to do it at all) - our AI does it in minutes!
• Insights Discovery: Instantly identify insightful records (records where HCPs express strong opinions) by filtering down to sentiment-bearing records.
• Impact Measurement: Measure the success of your Data Disclosures and MSL practices by analyzing change in sentiment during critical data release dates and congresses. 
• Reporting: Enhance insight reports by including visually powerful Sentiment charts. 
• HCP Scoring and Segmentation: Instantly identify a list of HCPs that have concerns with the safety or efficacy of your product, and accelerate time to impactful engagement with these KOLs.

 

Insights Manager - limited availability

Insight discovery is a team sport. Medical Affairs teams need to compile insights and evidence, determine which insights are the most actionable, and collaborate on next steps. However, in many organizations, this work is done by emailing documents, presentation decks, and spreadsheets back and forth, or discussing at tough-to-schedule monthly insights meetings. Even more often, this process is entirely delegated to outside agencies – costing thousands of dollars to produce static reports with little transparency.

Now available in this release, Sorcero Insights Manager empowers teams to collaborate on Insights from initial discovery through final action.

Using Insights Manager 
Sorcero previously allowed users to collaboratively build folders of evidence using Collections, accelerating insights report development. Medical Affairs teams can now use Sorcero’s Insights Manager to power their entire insights workflow from data collection to action. Users create Insights and collaboratively collect and discuss supporting evidence. These Insights are then moved through a set of Insight Stages to make your insight process manageable and trackable. To drive collaboration and cooperation, users can have threaded conversations on each Insight.

Benefits

• Insights Discovery: Publish, view, and sort Insights found through Collections, Instant Insights Engine, or Dashboards.
• Efficient Collaboration: Eliminate repeat and siloed Insights conversations by centralizing them in Sorcero.
• Impact Measurement: Analyze which evidence generation practices result in the most Insights by linking Records to the Insights they result in.
• Reporting: Speed up reporting by allowing the Insight identification process to be an ad-hoc, collaborative team effort instead of siloed hand-offs. 
• Workflow Facilitation: Move Insights through the workflow journey from inception to action taken.

Three New Rapid Reports

Traditionally, medical affairs teams created insights reports manually—a process so time-consuming that the insights are often outdated by the time they reach the audience. 

Sorcero gives teams access to customizable analytics and dashboards, allowing for rapid compilation and visualization of rich insights and trends gleaned from data in Sorcero MIM.

In this release, we’re leveraging our powerful analytical capabilities to fuel three new report types that users can create from data in MIM:

• 360 Medical Insights Report: Identify key medical insights and engagement statistics from across all of your data sources. 
• Field Medical Report: Understand field engagement, touchpoints, and the success/failure of MSL engagement efforts.
• KOL Identification & Engagement Report: Segment and track HCPs/KOLs, to ensure engagement with the most relevant KOLs, and measure changes in sentiment among focus KOLs.
