The rush to integrate AI into pharma workflows — from commercial to medical — has created a flood of vendor claims:

“Predictive insights.” “Patient-level triggers.” “End-to-end platforms.”

But how do you separate the truly clinically grounded, compliant, and scalable AI solutions… from the ones that just look good in a demo?

We built an AI Evaluation Guide to help pharma teams ask sharper questions, avoid vendor regret, and choose partners who can actually deliver on impact

What’s Inside:

The guide covers 7 essential areas every commercial or medical team should evaluate:

  1. Clinical Data Depth – Does the AI go beyond codes and claims into real patient context?

  2. Patient Identification & Triggers – Can it support real-world segmentation and activation?

  3. AI Methodology & Transparency – Is the model explainable, validated, and fit-for-purpose?

  4. Compliance & Privacy – Will it pass MLR, legal, and privacy review — or cause delays?

  5. Workflow & Integration – Does it plug into real-world pharma workflows (e.g., CRM, field)?

  6. Measurement & Outcomes – Can it track performance, ROI, or real-world evidence?

  7. Differentiators That Matter – What truly sets this vendor apart?

Each section includes:

  • A scoring framework
  • Key RFP questions to ask
  •  “Why this matters” — for medical, brand, legal, and IT leads

Who Should Download:

  • Brand leads designing AI-powered HCP or patient campaigns
  • Medical & HEOR teams exploring AI-driven RWE or trial acceleration
  • Procurement teams sourcing data and tech vendors with real-world capabilities
  • MLR reviewers or legal teams tasked with compliance and risk

Why It Matters Now:

The cost of choosing the wrong AI vendor isn’t just wasted budget — it’s:

  • Delays in MLR
  • Incomplete data capture
  • Poor HCP or patient engagement
  • Compliance exposure

Why Unite? 

  • AI platform built out of the RISELab, UC Berkeley 
  • Partnerships with various leading pharma companies on medical and commercial use-cases
  • Deep expertise successfully navigating pharma regulatory, legal and compliance process 

This guide helps you avoid all that.
