AI-powered patient support for life sciences

Turn health questions into trusted next steps.

OpenSupport helps patients and caregivers understand treatment, access, coverage and affordability with source-grounded AI — while giving life-sciences teams the governance, safety controls and insight a regulated environment requires.

Health information, not medical advice. No diagnosis. No prescribing. Not for emergencies.

OpenSupport Source-grounded patient support

My treatment was prescribed, but I am worried about the cost. What can I do?

Here are the next places to look

Depending on the medicine and your insurance, support may include manufacturer assistance, co-pay programs, or independent foundations.1

If coverage was denied, you can also request a formal appeal — plans must offer an internal review and an independent external one.2

Why OpenSupport

Patient support shouldn't stop when the call centre closes.

Patients don't experience treatment as separate channels. Their questions move from symptoms to therapy, insurance, cost, appointments and next steps. OpenSupport creates one always-available, source-grounded support layer across that journey.

Understand

Make complex health information easier to act on

Explain conditions, treatment concepts, administration, side effects, and the questions worth raising with a healthcare professional — in plain language.

Access

Move from “what is this?” to “how do I get it?”

Help people navigate coverage, affordability, manufacturer assistance, independent foundations, denials, appeals, and access pathways.

Learn

See where the patient journey is breaking

Surface unanswered questions, low-confidence retrievals, content gaps, recurring access barriers, and emerging support needs by therapeutic area.

Where patient support runs out, and what fills the gap

One experience across the patient journey

From first question to next best action.

  1. Understand the condition

    Plain-language explanations of disease, progression, terminology, and what to ask next.

  2. Understand treatment

    How therapies work, how they are given, what to monitor, and where the source information lives.

  3. Navigate access & cost

    Coverage, co-pay support, patient assistance, foundations, denials, and appeals.

  4. Prepare for action

    Questions for appointments, specialist resources, trial discovery, and appropriate next steps.

Built for regulated enterprise deployment

The AI experience patients want. The controls your teams require.

OpenSupport is designed as an engagement layer, not an unconstrained chatbot. Retrieval, sourcing, escalation, monitoring and tenant controls are built into the operating model.

Source-grounded responses

Answers are tied to retrievable evidence rather than unsupported free-form generation.

Adverse-event capture

Potential AE mentions are flagged and routed into pharmacovigilance review workflows.

Human escalation

Questions outside the AI boundary move to a human-response queue for source-grounded follow-up.

Training-gap detection

No-result and low-rated questions reveal where content or retrieval needs improvement.

Conversation analytics

Understand what patients ask, where they struggle, and which support topics recur.

Multi-tenant isolation

Separate environments, API keys, webhooks, and feature flags per deployment.

Auditability

Operational logs support review of system activity, usage, and deployment behaviour.

Modular deployment

Ship as a patient experience, a branded support layer, a portal capability, or an integrated service.

Evidence before eloquence

A curated knowledge base built to answer with receipts.

OpenSupport prioritises authoritative, peer-reviewed and institutional material. Lower-weight commercial content is labelled and never serves as the sole basis for an answer.

7,500+

sources indexed across 25+ therapeutic areas

11,000+ passages are retrievable today. The corpus is refreshed continuously, and stale content is archived rather than served.

Source mix, measured

  • Authoritative 58.6%
  • Peer-reviewed 26.7%
  • Institutional 12.4%
  • Government 1.4%
  • Community 0.8%
  • Commercial 0.2%

Share of 11,000+ retrievable passages as of September 2026. 0 rows without a usable embedding are excluded — they cannot be retrieved, so they are not counted.

Designed with boundaries

Trust is not a disclaimer. It is a product requirement.

Every answer shows its sources

People see the evidence behind an answer instead of being asked to trust an opaque response.

No diagnosis, no prescribing

OpenSupport provides health information and directs clinical decisions back to healthcare professionals.

Privacy-minimizing by design

The public patient experience does not require a stored medical history to answer a general information question.

Neutral information architecture

Retrieval and ranking prioritise source quality and relevance, not who funds a deployment. Identical logic runs for every tenant.
