From Complaints to Patient Breakthroughs: Harnessing AI to Capture Voice of Customer and Accelerate Medical Device Innovation

In the highly regulated and rapidly evolving medical device industry, capturing and leveraging the Voice of the Customer (VoC) is essential for enhancing product quality, ensuring compliance, and fostering patient-centric innovation. Traditional complaint-handling systems often struggle with the volume, variability, and complexity of feedback, leading to missed insights and reactive approaches.

This session examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming complaint handling by enabling proactive, data-driven strategies. Attendees will discover how AI-enabled systems analyze unstructured data, identify trends, and extract actionable insights from customer feedback while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Through examples, we will demonstrate how AI can turn complaints into opportunities for innovation, improve customer satisfaction, streamline reporting processes, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
