Frequently asked questions
What is Ascend Health Intelligence?
Ascend is a managed revenue engine, not just another software platform. We find the right buyers with NPI-level provider intelligence and audience data, reach them with geofencing and coordinated outreach, convert them with automated follow-up, and prove the revenue with closed-loop attribution. Ascend Health Intelligence is a dba of Certive Innovations Inc., a subsidiary of Certive Solutions Inc. (CTVEF), based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
How is Ascend different from a CRM or a data provider?
CRMs track activity and data providers sell lists. Ascend runs the whole path, from audience intelligence through omnichannel activation, CRM follow-up and sales deployment to revenue attribution, as one accountable managed service, so clients don't assemble five vendors before demand is proven.
What is NPI-level targeting?
Every U.S. healthcare provider has a National Provider Identifier (NPI). Ascend segments providers by specialty, geography and practice characteristics and combines that with first-party, search and behavioral signals to reach the specific providers most likely to use, prescribe, refer or purchase.
Does Ascend use geofencing?
Yes. Ascend builds location-based audiences around practices, clinics, hospitals, imaging centers and medical conferences, alongside predictive digital audiences, and coordinates them with email, text, voice, social and PR.
How does Ascend lower the cost of acquisition?
By targeting before spending, sharing a data, campaign, CRM and sales stack instead of each client building its own (about $514K a year in base payroll for a basic in-house team), coordinating every touch, and moving budget to the sources that attribution shows actually convert.
Who does Ascend work with today?
Ascend's engine is live with AIM and Project Y Biotech, activating peptide-prescribing providers through AIMRx, and is launching a direct-to-consumer imaging pilot with a national diagnostic company in Arizona. It works across pharmacy and therapeutics, imaging and diagnostics, consumer health, and beyond healthcare.
How does Ascend handle healthcare data?
