Case Study
Bilingual AI prompt and tone system for medical communication
DACH, U.K., U.S.
AI Brand Voice
Faster compliant content, human tone, multilingual accuracy
The Challenge
The company needed to leverage generative AI to improve efficiency in multilingual communication but faced strict regulatory and ethical constraints. Content accuracy, tone, and compliance were non-negotiable under EMA, FDA, and MDR oversight.
Regulatory sensitivity required flawless factual accuracy across all output.
AI-generated drafts risked sounding detached, overly familiar, or inconsistent in tone.
Translation-based workflows diluted nuance and emotional resonance between English and German.
Teams lacked clear operational rules for when and how AI could be safely used.
The Solution
A systematic framework was developed to guide the safe and human-centered use of AI in medical and patient communication. Three core layers defined the model’s success:
Layer 1 – Prompt Rulesets
Established separate prompt families for educational, patient-facing, and internal materials.
Integrated compliance references and contextual safeguards within each prompt type.
Mapped prompts to corresponding risk categories for regulatory traceability.
Layer 2 – Bilingual Tone Tiers
Defined tone tiers balancing empathy and authority across English and German.
Aligned terminology and phrasing standards to preserve nuance across translations.
Provided brand-language guidance for medical writers and patient educators.
Layer 3 – Workflow and Training
Implemented review gates ensuring all AI-assisted content passed medical and legal validation.
Conducted live training for regulatory, marketing, and medical writing teams.
Built a bilingual reference library documenting best-practice use cases and limitations.
The Outcome
The governance model enabled AI to become a reliable support tool within regulated environments—without eroding trust, accuracy, or humanity.
60% faster turnaround for multilingual content workflows.
Consistent human tone maintained across English and German.
Zero compliance violations in post-implementation audits.
Adoption expanded to adjacent communication areas, including patient support and internal education.
