Effective prompting is your gateway to leveraging eVa AI capabilities in pharmaceutical contexts, where precision, compliance, and accuracy are critical. A well-crafted prompt serves as clear instructions that guide eVa AI to understand your intent and deliver exactly what you need.
Examples:
Basic: "Write about drug side effects"
Better: "Create a summary of common side effects for cardiovascular medications, organized by drug class, for inclusion in a patient information leaflet."
Best: "Act as a medical writer creating patient education materials. Develop a comprehensive side effects summary for cardiovascular medications targeting adult patients with heart conditions. Organize content by major drug classes (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, statins, diuretics). For each class, include: most common side effects (>5% incidence), serious but rare effects requiring immediate medical attention, and when to contact healthcare providers. Use clear, non-technical language appropriate for patients with high school education level. Format as a structured reference guide with consistent formatting, approximately 800 words, suitable for FDA-regulated patient information materials."
Poor prompting results in vague outputs, missed regulatory requirements, and potentially non-compliant content that could compromise submissions or patient safety. Strategic prompting enables eVa AI to generate precise, regulation-compliant responses that meet pharmaceutical industry standards.
Dos and Don'ts
An effective prompt is key to unlocking accurate and relevant AI responses, and mastering the Dos and Don'ts ensures you communicate your intent clearly while avoiding common pitfalls. This section outlines essential best practices to help you craft precise, context-rich prompts that guide eVa AI to deliver optimal results.
Be clear and specific
State exactly what you need: "Generate a summary of Phase III trial results for {drug name}"
Include the desired format: "Create a bulleted list of..." or "Write a paragraph explaining..."
Provide rich context
Include relevant background: "For a regulatory submission to FDA..."
Specify your audience: "For HCPs treating oncology patients..."
Mention constraints: "Within 500 words and compliant with promotional guidelines"
Structure complex requests
Break multi-part requests into clear components:
Task: Create educational content about {condition}
Audience: Healthcare professionals
Format: Email with 3 key messages
Tone: Professional but accessible
Requirements: Include efficacy data and safety profile
Request specific outputs
"Provide 3 examples of..."
"List the top 5 considerations for..."
"Generate a comparison table showing..."
Use industry-standard language
Leverage pharmaceutical terminology correctly
Reference specific regulations: "Following ICH guidelines..."
Mention relevant stakeholders: "For medical affairs teams..."
Avoid vague or ambiguous language
Don't use undefined pronouns ("it," "this," "that")
Avoid colloquialisms in regulatory contexts
Don't assume eVa AI understands implied pharmaceutical contexts
Avoid ambiguous medical terminology
Vague questions can lead to unclear or irrelevant response. Instead of "Tell me about treatments", use "Explain first-line treatment options for {disease name} in {patient type}"
Don't overwhelm with information
Avoid including irrelevant background information
Don't combine multiple unrelated requests
Avoid excessive technical jargon without context
Don't include outdated regulatory references
Don't ignore regulatory requirements
Never skip compliance considerations
Don't assume eVa AI knows current regulatory status
Avoid requesting non-compliant content
Don't ignore safety labeling requirements
Don't neglect quality control
Don't accept first-draft outputs without review
Avoid skipping medical/legal review processes
Don't use outputs without proper validation
Avoid bypassing established approval workflows
Don't assume context carryover
Don't rely on previous conversation context for critical details
Avoid referencing undefined studies or compounds
Don't assume eVa AI remembers previous regulatory discussions
Avoid incomplete therapeutic area specifications
Prompt template structure
For effective communication with eVa AI, we suggest you follow this prompt template structure:
[ROLE] + [CONTEXT] + [TASK] + [CONSTRAINTS] + [OUTPUT FORMAT]
Here's an example.
Role: "Acting as a {specific pharmaceutical role}..."
Context: "For a {therapeutic area} compound in {development phase} targeting {indication}..."
Task: "Create/Retrieve/Generate/Analyze {specific deliverable}..."
Constraints: "Following {regulatory guidelines} and ensuring {safety/compliance requirements}..."
Output: "Deliver in {specific format} with {structure/length requirements}..."
