At inVibe, we talk a lot about “what is said,” “how it’s said,” and “how it sounds.” 

 is evaluated using discourse analysis, and 

 is measured using our machine learning models. Until recently, our language experts had to manually integrate these three aspects of the response to uncover “why it matters,” but now anyone using our dashboard—not just those of us with expert training—can use our new Topic Analysis tool to produce actionable insights.

Topic Analysis combines three core features of the inVibe platform to help any user quickly uncover the emotions associated with individual topics of interest: 1) 

computational analysis of emotion in the voice

, 2) automatic detection and tagging of naturally emerging topics and themes, and 3) 

, our model works like a literary detective that groups words often found together in and across responses into “topics.” For example, words like 

 might form a ‘Treatment Efficacy’ topic. Responses are composed of many topics in varying proportions as an individual naturally moves from one topic to the next.

Topic Analysis allows us to examine the voice data to see patterns across respondents at a glance as well as to zoom in to uncover underlying patterns across topics. For example, let’s say we want to get a quick sense of HCP reactions to new data released at a major oncology conference. Topic Analysis identifies the key topics in HCP responses (e.g., ‘Efficacy of Targeted Therapy,’ ‘Toxicity Profile,’ and ‘Treatment Decision-making’) and aligns them with their associated emotionality in the voice (e.g., 

Just looking at the most discussed topics in reaction to these two data releases, we see pretty equal time spent discussing ‘Clinical Trial Data Impact’ but with very different emotional tones. HCPs are more 

 about the Sabari study’s clinical impact than the Reckamp study’s impact, which they are more 

toward. This leaves us with the obvious question “What’s driving this optimism?”

To begin to answer this question, we just click the topic of interest to have immediate access to all the responses where this topic is discussed. This page includes an AI Smart Summary of how HCPs in aggregate discuss the topic and a fully interactive chart that allows users to drill down into how it is discussed in individual responses.

If we want a more in-depth comparison between topics, we turn to the Compare Topics feature, which plots all discussions of one or more topics of interest within and/or across questions. When we click an individual response, the tool highlights which portions of the response align with that topic and situates them in their original context, which allows anyone to quickly see what’s driving differences in emotionality and how those differences manifest in the language used.

Upon inspection, we see that HCPs are more optimistic about the Sabari study because of the promising efficacy outcomes in a difficult-to-treat patient type while they are more neutral toward the Reckamp study because they view the data with greater uncertainty, viewing it as more preliminary and in need of confirmation. In just a few clicks, we provided the sponsor of the Sabari study with insight into the “why” behind HCPs’ reactions to their data and with the assurance that their competitor’s data reported in the Reckamp study is still years away from having an impact on treatment decision-making.

Topic Analysis transforms complex voice data into clear, actionable intelligence for anyone and empowers commercial and clinical teams to move beyond surface-level insights by revealing not just what people are talking about, but how they feel about it—enabling faster, more nuanced decision-making grounded in real human emotion.

The Next Evolution of AI-Driven Qualitative Insights

At inVibe, we’ve always believed that the true power of qualitative market research lies not just in collecting voices, but in connecting them. Today, we’re excited to announce a breakthrough feature that redefines how clinical and commercial teams generate insights across studies: 

Built for life science and pharma companies conducting clinical or commercial market research, this upgrade expands our AI chat capabilities beyond single-study analysis. Now, you can explore patterns, compare findings, and validate themes across your entire library of inVibe studies—all through a seamless conversational interface.

But this isn’t just another chatbot. Let’s dive into why.


How inVibe’s AI Chat Differs: Thematic Saturation Over Needle-in-a-Haystack Queries

Most AI tools treat data like a puzzle to solve: 

 But qualitative research isn’t about isolated facts—it’s about understanding 

How prevalent is a perception across participants?

Does a finding hold true across disease states or patient cohorts?

Are emerging themes consistent over time?

Traditional chatbots fail here. They prioritize speed over depth, often omitting critical context to fit token limits. inVibe’s AI, however, is engineered to 

 while preserving conversational flexibility.

Our single-project chat already solved this challenge

 (questions, verbatims, metadata) into the context window without sacrificing token space for dialogue.

Now, we’re scaling this rigor to multi-project analysis.


How Multi-Project Chat Works: Precision at Scale

“How have patient perceptions of treatment side effects evolved post-pandemic?”

, our system doesn’t guess—it reasons. Here’s the technical backbone:

Step 1: Intelligent Source Data Retrieval

Your query triggers our most advanced LLM to scan your entire inVibe study library.

It identifies every dataset related to your question—

This ensures the most critical verbatims, themes, and metadata are prioritized, even across dozens of studies.

The selected data is embedded into a fresh context window, and our AI analysis tool generates insights grounded in the aggregated source material.

Why This Matters: Turning Data Libraries into Strategic Assets

For clinical and commercial teams, the implications are transformative:

: Track shifts in respondent sentiments and opinions over time without manual data stitching.

: Confirm if a theme exists across research engagements, i.e., does your psoriasis study align with rheumatoid arthritis insights.

: Forget hunting for “that one study from 2022.” The AI surfaces relevant data 

every new inVibe study enriches your insights ecosystem

. The more research you conduct, the richer the context for future queries—whether about a specific drug launch or broader market trends.

The Technical Breakthrough: Mastering Context Window Economics

Large context windows (like GPT-4’s 128k tokens) still have limits. Off-the-shelf tools waste tokens on redundant or irrelevant data. inVibe’s system optimizes them by:

: Balancing depth (verbatim coverage) and breadth (cross-study representation).

: Enhancing search accuracy through pre-embedded codes (e.g., “patient journey stage: adherence”).

: Decoupling data retrieval from analysis to avoid token spillover.

Build Your Library, Future-Proof Your Insights

Multi-Project Chat isn’t just a feature—it’s a paradigm shift. By centralizing and connecting qualitative data, life science teams can:

Turn archived studies into living assets.

The more you build your inVibe library, the smarter (and faster) your analysis becomes.

Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is an annual initiative that takes place the last week of January with the goal of raising awareness about cervical cancer, encouraging women to attend cervical screenings, and educating about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

Cervical cancer is most often caused by an infection with high-risk types of HPV, leading abnormal cells in the cervix to form a tumor. While cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death in American women, this has decreased by more than 50% since the 1970s due to the increased use of screenings and preventative methods, as well as advances in treatment.

Living with cervical cancer involves navigating a range of challenges, from managing the logistics of treatment and medical appointments, to coping with the emotional impacts of the disease.

Let’s listen to a 41- to 45-year-old woman with cervical cancer describe what it’s like for her to live with this condition and some of the challenges she faces.

Question 1 Response 159

Understanding the patient voice is at the heart of 

, which we approach holistically by analyzing what is said, how it’s said, and how it sounds.

Looking first at what she is saying and how, this patient conveys the two main elements of her disease experience. On the one hand, she describes the feeling of having cervical cancer in evocative terms: “terrifying” and “super scary.” On the other, she acknowledges the roles preventative care and management play in making the disease “manageable and controllable”. While it is “very treatable,” the logistical burden of doctor’s appointments adds an additional challenge to manage on top of the fear of relapsing or progressing.

, she describes the disease itself with strongly negative emotionality (‘valence’), which emphasizes the frustrations and fear of living with a life-threatening condition and her frustration with the burdens of treatment. As she describes the care process, however, this negative emotionality lessens, as well as the acoustic signals of stress (‘activation’), corresponding with the low-level frustration patients with chronic conditions often describe.

Taken together, this patient’s response underscores the importance of early detection of cervical cancer. Although the condition is scary, and treatment can be burdensome, routine screenings to detect abnormal cells help those living with cervical cancer to keep their condition under control.

Our Listening Platform makes it simple for patients to speak with us about their experiences in an open and authentic way and easy for you to engage with their perspectives directly.

If you’re interested in hearing from more patients like this one so that you can gain insight into their experiences, beliefs, behaviors, and desires,

In Observation of Cervical Cancer Prevention Week (January 20-26, 2025)

As we ring in the new year, we would like to call attention to two ongoing awareness campaigns in the world of metabolic health. The United Kingdom has designated this Obesity Awareness Week, and January is Thyroid Awareness Month, with both campaigns seeking to raise awareness of both prevention and treatment in their overlapping therapeutic areas.

Obesity is a common condition throughout the world, but it is often misperceived and stigmatized as solely arising from poor lifestyle choices. While diet and exercise can help prevent or reduce the risk of obesity for some patients, understanding it as a disease is important to diagnosing any comorbidities, learning the relevant risk factors, and determining treatments. For example, since thyroid irregularities can lead to changes in appetite and weight, obesity can co-occur with both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism

Obesity is often a chronic condition, and its negative physical impacts can compound over time, making movement and other daily activities more difficult. Aside from the direct effects of weighing more, obesity also increases the risk of cardiovascular and endocrine conditions (among others). Stigma can compound these issues, making it difficult understand obesity as a disease and seek treatment accordingly.

Let’s listen to a 51- to 55-year-old woman describe her experience with obesity and the social and physical challenges she faces.

Question 1 Response 44

Let us look first at what this patient is saying. The patient starts with social impacts, moves briefly into the physical effects, then returns to interpersonal troubles that can come from obesity, which underscores that the judgment she perceives from other people is the most keenly-felt aspect of her condition.

The way that the patient goes through the list is also worth some scrutiny. When listing both physical and social symptoms of obesity, the patient trails off and labels the consequences as “various/a lot of things.” This tracks both with her feeling resigned to these effects and the specific problems obesity brings about being too many to name.

This resignation is confirmed when we take our 

 to this data, where we see negative emotionality (‘valence’) and low enthusiasm (‘activation’) throughout her description of obesity. These signals corroborate what you can likely already hear - a depressed-sounding affect in this patient’s speech.

By taking these perspectives into account, we can draw out some of the most important parts of the patient experience with obesity: a chronic, cumulative physical burden which is difficult to disentangle from the interpersonal impacts of the disease. Whether these patients are possible treatment users or potential enrollees in a clinical trial, manufacturers need to be able to address this complexity in order to properly help obesity patients.
