Why Persensus

Built on decades of consumer expertise. Proven in healthcare.

Developed for more than a decade within , Persensus brings together deep consumer expertise and real-world clinical and health-system experience.

Persensus helps health systems understand why people make the healthcare decisions they do — and what can motivate them to act. We turn that consumer insight into strategy and Clinical Activation that can improve outcomes and health-system performance.

Why Persensus

We Understand the WHY Behind the WHO.

Healthcare knows a lot about who a person is. Persensus goes deeper to understand why they make the decisions they do.

Psychographic insight goes beyond demographics like race, income, and education to uncover what motivates the individual — giving health systems a deeper understanding of people that demographics and behavioral data alone can't provide.

WHO

Demographics

Tells us who they are

Age, gender, location, income

External Characteristics

The traditional starting point

Healthcare strategy has traditionally started with who people are — their age, location, income, and other demographic characteristics.

WHY

Psychographics

Reveals what drives them

Motivations, beliefs, attitudes, barriers

Individual Motivations

A shift toward what drives action

Persensus adds a deeper understanding of motivations, beliefs, attitudes, and barriers — helping organizations build a culture around why people choose and what moves them to act.

Activation

Action

Turns understanding into action

More relevant strategies. More meaningful engagement. Greater activation.

Motivated Action

From Insight to Action

Understanding isn't enough. Activation is success.

The value of consumer understanding is what happens next. Through PRISM™, Persensus connects insight to strategy and Clinical Activation — turning a deeper understanding of people into action that can improve outcomes and health-system performance.

Success is measurable: screenings scheduled, medications refilled, appointments kept, care plans followed — and healthier actions taken.

Fewer readmissions after discharge

The month after the hospital is a next step a person has to take.

The month after discharge. Congestive heart failure readmissions were higher than the local competition. A 30-day communication protocol reduced readmission rates by 41% versus baseline.

Screenings that get scheduled

Closing a known gap starts with a person who decides to come in.

Mammograms. A health system needed a scalable way to close breast cancer screening gaps before they were overdue. 52% of patients scheduled within two weeks of the last message, generating $2.2 million in direct revenue.

Patients who get back on their medication

Consumer insight makes the next refill and the next visit make sense to the person.

Medication adherence. Patients were not scheduling care, refilling prescriptions, or completing screenings. The program activated 50% of off-track medication adherence patients and returned $4.9 million in operational savings in the pilot.

Visits that are kept

Access holds when the appointment is easy to confirm, change, or keep.

No-shows and cancellations. An omnichannel program let a patient confirm, cancel, or reschedule. 40% of cancelled visits shifted to immediately rescheduled, and $2.3 million a year came back in kept visits.
