The Challenge
A policy change, an unfamiliar therapeutic area, or a question about market access can require more than a landscape update. A team may need to understand how a mechanism works, examine the evidence from several angles, compare conflicting findings, and identify what remains uncertain.
The useful output is a detailed account of the question and its supporting evidence, organized for the people who will use it. For HEOR, market access, medical affairs and pharmaceutical strategy teams, that means research that connects the findings to a defined information need.
How It's Done Today
Researchers translate a broad request into questions, search academic and public sources, assess relevance, read the available material and develop an analysis. They also need to reconcile differences in dates, populations, assumptions and definitions before combining findings into a report.
Each step requires attention. A relevant source may be inaccessible, an organization's own evidence may sit outside public databases, and a persuasive claim may rest on limited support. The report needs to make those boundaries understandable to its readers.
The AI-Enabled Approach
Define the question and review the plan
Start with a research brief describing the question, audience, scope and the angles you want examined. Aide Intelligence conducts an initial assessment and proposes a report outline. In the web application, you can review the proposed coverage and adjust the audience, report title and section emphasis before the deeper investigation proceeds.
Collect and assess the evidence
The application searches academic literature and public web sources, assesses their relevance to the questions, and develops summaries from the material it can access. The report is grounded in the evidence reviewed during this process.
Add the material your team can provide
When a potentially relevant source's full text cannot be retrieved, the application brings it to your attention before writing. You can upload the document or continue with the evidence already available. An accessible abstract is distinguished from a reviewed full-text document.
You can also supply internal reports or other organizational documents at this checkpoint. This allows your team's evidence to contribute alongside public sources, including material that a public search would not find.
Develop and examine the report
Aide Intelligence writes connected sections with citations, assembles the analysis, and produces an executive summary and conclusions. Built-in checking and editorial stages assess the draft against its cited sources. The report can include figures and identifies disagreements and limitations in the evidence.
The result is a downloadable Word document with detailed analysis and references. Researchers can examine the findings, follow the citations and review unresolved questions before using the report to support a decision.
See It Work
Follow an investigation of U.S. most-favored-nation drug pricing, with an October 6, 2026 research cutoff. The demonstration shows how to focus the outline on a new medicine's launch, review source-access limitations, and examine the resulting Word report and references. It also explains the option to add internal documents; no additional documents are uploaded in this example.
What It Means for You
- Research organized around your question. Define the audience, scope and analytical emphasis for background research, policy assessment or another focused evidence question.
- Opportunities for researcher input. Review the outline before deep research and supply additional material before writing.
- Public and organizational evidence together. Include internal documents that would otherwise sit outside the search.
- An analysis you can examine. Follow cited findings, compare interpretations and identify evidence gaps in a report your team can retain.
Aide Intelligence supports a deeper investigation of a specific question. For a quicker, repeatable assessment of a changing research landscape, Aide Pulse provides the complementary monitoring workflow.
The report supports professional judgment. Your team reviews the evidence, interprets its limitations and makes the decision.
