Ariadne Thread
KOL and Congress App
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Congress intelligence for medical affairs teams. Scan badges, track key abstracts, manage KOL relationships, coordinate follow-up. Never lose the thread.
Ariadne Thread — Never Lose the Thread.
The essential tool for medical affairs teams at scientific conferences, congresses, and medical education events. Capture contacts, score KOLs, coordinate your team, and never duplicate a follow-up again.
INTELLIGENT BADGE SCANNING
Point your camera at any conference badge or business card. Ariadne's on-device OCR reads the name, title, and institution instantly — no internet required. QR code scanning and manual virtual badge entry are also supported.
AI-POWERED CONTACT ENRICHMENT
After scanning, Ariadne automatically enriches each contact with their email address, publication record, research interests, and institutional role — sourced from publicly available information. No manual searching required.
KOL SCORING AND TIERING
Every contact is automatically assessed and assigned a KOL tier:
· Tier 1 — Global leaders: society presidents, guideline authors, registry directors
· Tier 2 — Regional and national leaders: department heads, active researchers, congress faculty
· Tier 3 — Emerging talent: trainees, junior faculty, rising researchers
The rationale for each score is transparent and editable by your team.
TEAM COORDINATION
See who else on your team has met a contact — before you approach them. Ariadne prevents duplicate outreach and shows you every interaction your colleagues have had, including whether a follow-up email has already been sent. The right hand always knows what the left hand is doing.
FOLLOW-UP TEMPLATES
Send professional, personalised follow-up emails directly from the app. Choose from pre-built templates, preview the merged email, and log it against the contact record automatically.
TEAM SAFETY FEATURES
· Summon a colleague instantly — push notification delivered even when their app is closed
· Safety flags — yellow caution and red personal safety flags, reviewed and confirmed by team admin
· Check-in timer — start a timer before a sensitive interaction; your safety contact is notified if it expires
· SOS button — hold for 3 seconds to alert your entire team with your GPS location
CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT
Create events for each congress or meeting. Contacts are organised by event. Ad hoc interactions — dinners, corridor conversations, video calls — are captured separately. Full ROI analytics reports show contact density, KOL tier distribution, countries represented, and engagement rates per event.
EXPORT AND REPORTING
Export contacts to Excel or Word at any time. Full conference reports with AI-generated narrative summaries. CRM sync available on Team and Enterprise plans.
