AI and Signal Intelligence
Mon Feb 02 2026
While most of us are already using AI for research and content creation, very few healthcare marketing teams have figured out how to use it to drive measurable top-line revenue.
In this episode, I dive into the critical first pillar of using AI to grow your pipeline: signal intelligence. I explain why interpreting patterns of behavior across entire accounts is far more valuable than simple lead scoring or tracking individual clicks.
This episode will help you understand how to detect meaningful buyer behavior earlier in the process. This is especially vital in the healthcare industry, where sales cycles often stretch to 13 or even 24 months and involve dozens of stakeholders.
I also share practical ways to use AI for pattern recognition and weak signal interpretation, even if you do not have a massive budget for enterprise platforms.
Key Topics:
"(00:00)" - Introduction
"(01:00)" - The challenge
"(02:47)" - Defining signal intelligence
"(03:45) - The three layers of signal intelligence
"(05:39) - Why early detection is critical
"(09:44) - Four primary use cases for AI
"(12:44) - Exploring Tiga AI and social engagement signals
"(15:15) - How established platforms detect intent at scale
"(18:18) - Using AI tools for strategy
"(20:45)" - Identifying longitudinal patterns
