Use Case of the Week

Pharmaceutical Company: Novo Nordisk

An AI-powered virtual obesity care model is transforming how patients access and adhere to clinical-grade weight loss treatments. By integrating real-time eligibility checks, automated prescribing, and behavioral coaching, the platform personalizes treatment plans combining GLP-1 medications with lifestyle interventions.

 

AI algorithms assess medical history, behavioral patterns, and lab results to determine patient eligibility and optimize dosage protocols. Meanwhile, digital coaching—driven by predictive analytics—adapts to each individual’s progress, motivation levels, and risk factors.
