Think of a patient receiving a perfectly timed reminder about his annual health check-up, along with wellness tips based on his medical history. It is like e-commerce platforms showing the exact product recommendation that we are looking for. But in the case of healthcare, it is providing personalised health information and service suggestions. Electronic health records and patient interactions are remembered and analysed for every patient interaction, understanding patterns in health behaviours to provide personalized care. Predictive AI in healthcare marketing is expected to increase the patient experience by close to 35% in the coming two years.

This is one sector, which will exponentially use AI and predictive AI to help and support consumers, assess risks, use algorithms for fraud detection, and customise recommendations based on incomes.
AI in BFSI can host millions of parameters and process complex, multifaceted data, making them ideal for predictive analysis.

EdTech: AI analyses student activity, completion rates, engagement levels, and quiz performance to predict which courses they are likely to buy next. Marketing messages are then tailored basis the areas of interest and learning pace. Predictive AI analyses on what kind of marketing messages should reach which kind of students. Geo-targeting is then used for regional campaigns. Predictive AI helps consumer acquisition based on time spent on the platform, content consumed and frequency of return visits. It also uses cross device retargeting, to re-engage with users who visited the site but did not sign up; it keeps showing ads on YouTube, Instagram or any other app.
Retail: Another sector which will increasingly use predictive AI, is the retail, specifically e-commerce industry. Data-driven personalization, optimisation of inventory management, enhanced customer experiences, will be driven by Predictive AI to a large extent, going forward.

The demand forecast usually informs retailers how much inventory is needed, when it is needed, and accordingly marketing campaigns are set to reach out to the consumers. Programmatic targeting is used to align ad delivery with real time consumer behaviour across platforms.
