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.
