# AI for KOL Engagement & Field Medical Insights
Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) are the field-based scientific experts who engage with healthcare professionals on behalf of Medical Affairs. They discuss scientific data, gather medical insights, identify unmet needs, and build relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs). AI is transforming both how KOLs are identified and how field insights are captured and analyzed.
AI-Driven KOL Identification and Profiling
Traditional KOL identification relies heavily on publication counts and personal network knowledge. AI enables a more comprehensive, multi-dimensional approach:
Data sources for AI-driven KOL mapping: - PubMed publication history (volume, impact factor, citation counts, co-authorship networks) - ClinicalTrials.gov (trial leadership roles — PI, steering committee, DSMB membership) - Congress presentations (invited talks, poster presentations, panel moderations) - Guideline committee memberships (NCCN, ACC/AHA, ASCO, etc.) - Grant funding and institutional affiliations - Social media and digital influence (Twitter/X, medical podcasts, educational content)
