Daily research news online. The global MR industry's daily paper since 2000. Follow DRNO on... WebMD Ignite adds 'Ruby' marketing agent suite. October 26 2026 WebMD's 'Ignite' Health division had launched Ruby, a network of specialized AI agents which promises to automate healthcare advertising and associated workflows including research, audience analysis, media planning, and reporting and measurement. WebMD Ignite Ruby combines in one workflow specialized AI agents which analyze markets and competitors, identify audiences, develop strategies, plan media, support campaign execution and continually optimize performance. The suite includes agents for marketing mix modeling (MMM), to advise on where marketing dollars should be spent, and the firm says it should reduce technology and labor costs while allowing provider organizations to manage more marketing activity with the resources they already have. The new system is designed to combine the company's proprietary healthcare-specific data and market intelligence with a client organizations' own approved data and other sources, giving it far more relevant context than general-purpose AI. WebMD Ignite's own data includes 2.7 billion deidentified healthcare encounters from more than 400 EMR feeds and predictive models spanning more than 650 clinical conditions. The system is said to have privacy at its core, with individual-level identifiers blocked from agent outputs, while small-cell suppression further protects aggregate results. Findings and recommendations are fully traceable back to the information source, human oversight remains embedded throughout the ecosystem, and the system operates a feedback loop to learn as it goes. Ann Bilyew (pictured), the firm's EVP, Health and President, Healthcare Solutions Group states: 'AI agents give healthcare organizations an opportunity to make marketing more precise and more efficient by helping teams identify and reach the right audiences with the right message. That precision can help marketers make better use of every dollar they spend, while agents can also take on work that has traditionally required significant time and resources.'

Medscape, PulsePoint, and WebMD introduce moments. September 15, 2026 September 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Medscape, PulsePoint and WebMD today announced Moments, a real-time health engagement solution, composed of Medscape Moments and WebMD Moments, activated across the full media plan by PulsePoint. Medscape Moments detects clinical engagement as it happens on Medscape such as a physician reviewing a drug monograph, researching a condition, or running a query through Medscape AI. WebMD Moments detects consumer engagement as it happens on WebMD, such as symptom research or treatment comparisons. PulsePoint's Adaptive Optimization engine activates those first-party intent signals from both environments across the media plan, prioritizing delivery across the full audience toward moments of peak receptivity and readiness". Medscape Moments has on average produced a 150% lift in new prescriptions per exposed HCP versus HCPs not informed by Moments, and DTC optimization including WebMD signals, improved audience quality by 18%. "Every other vertical has been able to do something health marketing couldn't: time activation to real behavior. Receptivity isn't constant. A doctor reviewing a drug monograph the night before a patient encounter is in a different state than the same doctor a week later," said Parker Noren, SVP Product Strategy. "Moments captures that as it happens on Medscape and WebMD, and PulsePoint acts on it across the full media plan the same day, HCP and DTC. That's what turns broad reach into effective reach. And it held everywhere we ran it: clinician and consumer campaigns, rare disease and high-prevalence conditions. It changed what a health campaign is capable of." For years, the only way to sharpen targeting beyond reach was claims data, which arrives after the clinical decision it was meant to influence. Medscape Moments and WebMD Moments replace that lag with active intent signals for PulsePoint to act on at the moment of receptivity. Medscape Moments and WebMD Moments open to a broader set of pharmaceutical marketers in open beta beginning January 1, 2027. About Medscape Medscape is the leading source of clinical news, health information, and point-of-care tools for health care professionals.

Image by rawpixel.com on FreepikArtificial intelligence (AI) has been making headlines in all industries. Its rapid implementation and improvement are at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts, and the healthcare industry is no exception. AI’s ability to quickly analyze patient data has many beneficial applications, including preventative care. Preventative care is one of the most important healthcare sectors, as it literally saves lives by reversing or deterring preventable conditions, symptoms, and diseases, including chronic ones. However, it’s also a tricky science; many factors can reduce a preventative care plan’s effectiveness. For example, patients and providers may not recognize signs and symptoms immediately, patients may forget to take medications, and physician burnout and overworking may lead to a delay in care. AI-driven solutions can reduce the prevalence of these issues and make preventative care much more effective.AI Wearable TechnologyWearable health technology isn’t new, but it’s come a long way since it was first implemented
