Situation

The client was preparing to launch a novel diagnostic test intended to improve patient identification and treatment decisions.

While the test demonstrated technical promise, adoption would depend on whether key decision-makers viewed it as meaningfully improving clinical decision-making.

The client engaged Alkemi to understand how the test would be evaluated in practice and what evidence and positioning would be required to support adoption.

Approach

1. Convened a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) advisory board to capture expert perspectives on clinical relevance and decision impact.

2. Reviewed comparable diagnostic technologies to understand how evidence had influenced adoption and reimbursement decisions.

3. Synthesized insights into a focused report outlining key findings, strategic implications, and recommended next steps.

The focus throughout:

Clarify what evidence and messages would change decision-maker behavior.

Deliverables

1
KOL advisory board to assess clinical relevance, use cases, and adoption barriers.
2
Policy and clinical guideline landscape assessment to understand decision pathways.
3
Case studies of analogous diagnostics highlighting drivers of adoption and resistance.
4
Focused synthesis report summarizing findings and recommended actions.
