Generate synthetic patient panels to test healthcare concepts, messaging, and care journeys — grounded in a validated model of patient decision-making and 162 peer-reviewed sources.
The Research Insight
Patients don't make decisions like users do.
Healthcare decisions are shaped by trust, risk, identity, cost exposure, and the long shadow of past care experiences. Patient Perspective models those priority tensions so your concepts get tested against the way patients actually choose — not the way product teams hope they will.
Process
How it works
01
Describe your scenario
Brief the tool on the product, service, or care journey you want to test — in plain language, or by uploading a PRD, brief, or research document.
02
Meet your panel
AI generates eight synthetic patients across the four mindset quadrants, with a deliberate spread of disability, demographic, and health-context factors.
03
Interview, group, and report
Question patients one-to-one, convene a focus group, then export a synthesised report with themes, quotes, and strategic implications.
Framework
Patient archetype framework
Every synthetic patient is placed on a validated two-axis model mapping engagement level (proactive vs. reactive) against healthcare orientation (trusting vs. skeptical) — generating four mindset quadrants that mirror real patient decision-making.
Proactive + Trusting
Engaged Partner
Treats their care team as a collaborator. Tracks symptoms, prepares for appointments, and adopts new tools quickly when the rationale is clear.
Top Priority
Convenience
Tension
Will abandon a tool the moment it adds friction to a routine that already works.
Proactive + Skeptical
Informed Skeptic
Researches every diagnosis, reads the source paper, and challenges recommendations. Trusts evidence over authority and expects transparency.
Top Priority
Choice
Tension
Reads the privacy policy. Will switch providers if the data story isn't airtight.
Reactive + Trusting
Compliant Patient
Follows instructions, defers to clinical authority, engages only when prompted. Loyalty to a provider matters more than features.
Top Priority
Communication
Tension
Slow to surface concerns. May agree in the room and disengage at home.
Reactive + Skeptical
Avoidant Patient
Distrusts the system, delays care, and presents late. Cost, past harm, or cultural distance keeps them outside the formal care pathway.
Top Priority
Cost
Tension
Won't show up in your usability lab — but will determine whether your product reaches its intended population.
Px Framework
Ten dimensions of patient experience
Personas rank and react across ten experience elements — the priorities that drive whether a patient adopts, abandons, or never engages with what you build.
Data handling, sharing controls, employer & insurer exposure.
Communication
Plain language, follow-through, channel choice.
Collaboration
Shared decision-making, family involvement, care team coordination.
Consideration
Cultural awareness, identity, accessibility, lived experience.
Community
Peer networks, support groups, lived-experience advocacy.
Comfort
Physical, emotional, and environmental experience of care.
Choice
Provider agency, treatment options, opt-out and override paths.
Inclusion by Design
The voices product teams usually miss
Real recruitment tilts toward the articulate, the available, and the easy-to-reach. Synthetic panels can be deliberately balanced for the population you're actually designing for.
Disability Representation
Permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities — across mobility, vision, hearing, cognition, and chronic conditions.
Demographic Spread
Age, socioeconomic status, geography, language, culture, and intersecting identities.
Health Context
Acute, chronic, preventative, and end-of-life journeys — with the carers and caregivers who travel alongside.
What Powers It
The evidence base
Four foundations behind every synthetic patient panel.
162
Research Sources
Expert skills synthesised from peer-reviewed healthcare research.
Patient Perspective is built for healthcare strategists, product teams, and service designers who need to test concepts before they ship — and surface the patient voices that real recruitment rarely reaches.
