How dynamic scientific ranking changes everything
Every day, pharma teams across medical affairs, market access, and clinical development are bombarded with publications, author networks, and updates from an ever-expanding scientific landscape.
And yet, despite this abundance, critical opportunities are missed. Engagements fall flat. Strategies lose momentum. Evidence gaps widen. Not from lack of data, but from a lack of clarity.
That’s the paradox. And that’s where HelixAI changes the game.
The challenge: too much data, not enough clarity
Most teams have access to the same publication databases.
They can search. They can scroll. They can export rows of data into spreadsheets. But here’s the thing: they’re not getting any closer to the answer. They’re drowning in noise.
Impact factors? Useful, but static. A top-ranked paper on one topic might be completely irrelevant to the strategic question at hand.
Author lists? Impressive in size, but often bloated and misaligned with your actual goals.
And filtering? Manual, repetitive, and frustratingly generic.
Whether you're a medical affairs lead looking to engage the right experts, a market access strategist trying to support a payer submission, or a clinical lead planning your next trial, the same pain repeats: it takes far too long to figure out who and what truly matters.
The innovation: disambiguation and dynamic impact
That’s why we built something different.
At the core of HelixAI are two breakthrough capabilities that bring order to the chaos:
1. Disambiguation at scale
We’ve engineered an algorithm that accurately matches authors across inconsistent data sources, even when affiliations change, names are abbreviated, or records are duplicated. We don’t just give you a name, we give you a verified profile tied to real, up-to-date activity.
2. Dynamic impact scoring
Our proprietary algorithm assigns context-specific impact factors to both authors and publications. That means their influence isn’t just based on publication counts, it’s re-calculated dynamically based on the filters you apply: disease area, geography, topic, or type of strategic decision you’re focussing on.
So instead of a flat ranking, you get a living, breathing hierarchy of relevance, customised to your precise objective. Whether you’re zooming out to see the full scientific landscape or zooming in to identify the top KOL in a niche indication, you’re never guessing.
What this means in practice: real use case scenarios
Medical affairs – smarter KOL engagement
Need to engage KOLs publishing on long COVID-related fatigue in APAC? HelixAI ranks the top authors and rising experts in real time, based on real publications and real-world impact.
You’re not chasing stale profiles or spending hours refining searches.
Market access – precision value storytelling
Trying to justify pricing in a niche subpopulation? HelixAI helps you surface the most relevant evidence and influential authors based on payer-relevant filters.
You can build tailored, compelling value narratives that land.
Clinical development – informed trial design
Designing a phase II study? Instantly find the most talked about endpoints, competitor trial designs, and the authors shaping clinical thinking in your segment. Skip duplication.
Make better design decisions from day one.
The win-win
For teams
- Make faster decisions with only the evidence that matters
- Build strategies grounded in dynamic, context-specific insight
- Stop wasting hours filtering, start moving with confidence
For organisations
- Allocate resources to what actually drives value
- Maintain a living system of intelligence that evolves with you
- Accelerate time to market with stronger, smarter submissions
Final thought
Every strategic decision in pharma depends on having the right information at the right time, however, the volume and fragmentation of scientific data can make that incredibly difficult.
What we offer through HelixAI is a practical way to cut through the noise. By ranking publications and experts based on your specific context, it helps teams focus faster, align more easily, and avoid starting from scratch with every new project.
Teams already using HelixAI are setting a new standard for strategic decision-making, here’s an interactive demo so you can see it for yourself.
