Breaking the Engagement Barrier: Using Immersive Research and AI Avatars to Bridge the HCP Motivation Gap

Driving true HCP engagement requires more than just data—it demands a deep understanding of what truly motivates physicians and how to align engagement strategies accordingly. But in conditions like COPD, where treatment options are limited and disease management lacks the sense of mastery pulmonologists crave, traditional research often fails to capture the hidden barriers preventing meaningful engagement. To move the needle, pharma teams need methodologies that go beyond surface-level answers and uncover the real emotional and behavioral drivers behind treatment decisions.

In this session, we’ll explore how unique immersive research methodologies and AI-powered Avatars helped expose the disconnect between pulmonologists’ motivations and the realities of COPD care. By bringing HCPs closer to the patient experience and simulating real-world decision-making, this approach unlocked actionable insights to inspire engagement strategies, messaging, and brand communications.

Key Takeaways:
● The COPD Motivation Gap – Why pulmonologists struggle to engage deeply in COPD care and how this impacts treatment adoption
● Going Beyond Surface-Level Insights – How immersive methodologies uncover the emotional and behavioral
drivers that shape HCP decision-making
● Reframing COPD for Stronger Engagement – New strategies to align engagement efforts with what truly
motivates pulmonologists
● The Role of AI Avatars in Scaling Insights – How AI-powered avatars extend research impact by validating
findings, pressure-testing messaging, and optimizing engagement strategies
