AI-Powered Research: Generate Intelligence Reports in Minutes

​

The Challenge

Medical device teams need intelligence reports but face constraints:

• Time-consuming research: Hours spent gathering and synthesizing information
• Inconsistent quality: Reports vary based on who creates them
• Outdated information: By the time reports are finished, data is stale
• Limited depth: Surface-level analysis due to time pressure
• No standardization: Every report has a different structure

​

How MedStrato Helps

MedStrato’s Investigations module uses AI to generate comprehensive research reports:

​

Investigation Templates

MedStrato provides five core templates:

​

Step-by-Step Workflow

​

Step 1: Start a New Investigation

1. Go to Investigations from the main navigation
2. Click New Investigation
3. Choose a template that matches your research goal

​

Step 2: Define Your Research Question

Enter a clear, specific research question or topic: Good examples:

• “Analyze the US structural heart device market focusing on TAVR and TEER technologies”
• “Compare regulatory pathways for AI-enabled diagnostic devices in US, EU, and China”
• “Assess the competitive landscape for robotic surgical systems in orthopedics”

Avoid vague topics:

• “Medical devices” (too broad)
• “Market trends” (no specific focus)

​

Step 3: Configure Research Parameters

Customize the scope of your investigation:

​

Time Period

​

Geographic Scope

​

Data Sources

Select which sources to include:

• Regulatory databases (FDA, EMA, NMPA filings)
• Clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov, registries)
• Scientific literature (PubMed, journals)
• Market research (industry reports)
• News and press releases
• Patents

​

Analysis Depth

​

Step 4: Generate the Report

1. Review your parameters
2. Click Generate Investigation
3. Watch real-time streaming as the AI writes the report
4. Generation typically takes 1-3 minutes depending on depth

You’ll see a progress indicator showing completion percentage.

​

Step 5: Review the Output

The generated report includes:

​

Structured Sections

• Executive Summary: Key findings at a glance
• Market Overview: Size, growth, segmentation
• Key Players: Major companies and their positions
• Trends and Drivers: What’s shaping the market
• Challenges and Risks: Barriers and concerns
• Outlook and Recommendations: Forward-looking insights

​

AI-Generated Insights

• Key Takeaways: Bullet-point summary of critical findings
• Actionable Recommendations: Specific next steps for your team

​

Step 6: Refine and Edit

The generated content is a starting point. You can:

1. Edit directly in MedStrato’s markdown editor
2. Add your own analysis or commentary
3. Insert additional data or charts
4. Remove sections that aren’t relevant

​

Step 7: Export and Share

​

Download Options

• PDF: Professional formatted document for distribution
• Word (DOCX): Editable format for further customization

​

Sharing

• Generate a shareable link with access control
• Set expiration dates for sensitive content
• Track who has viewed the document

​

Advanced Features

​

Promote Signals to Investigations

When you find an important regulatory signal, you can turn it into a full investigation:

1. Open a signal in the Signals module
2. Click Create Investigation
3. MedStrato extracts the research framework from the signal
4. Generate a comprehensive report on that topic

This is powerful for deep-diving into critical regulatory changes.

​

Custom Variables

For recurring reports, use custom variables to personalize:

• Company name
• Product names
• Specific competitors
• Target markets

​

Investigation History

All generated investigations are saved:

• View past reports anytime
• Track generation dates
• See export and share history

​

Best Practices

​

Do

• Start with a specific, focused research question
• Choose the appropriate analysis depth for your audience
• Review and edit AI-generated content before distributing
• Use regulatory and clinical sources for compliance topics

​

Don’t

• Expect perfect accuracy—always verify critical claims
• Use overly broad topics that lead to generic output
• Skip the review step before sharing externally
• Rely solely on AI for regulatory compliance decisions

​

Real Results

Teams using MedStrato Investigations typically see:

• 80% reduction in research report preparation time
• More consistent report quality across team members
• Faster response to competitive and regulatory developments
