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.
