Healthcare
Uncover Hidden Gems and Allow for Deep Reflection
QInsights helped a healthcare researcher uncover nuance across sensitive qualitative datasets while restoring the time needed for genuine anthropological reflection.
Dr. Samantha Hurst, Health Sciences Clinical Professor — University of California, San Diego
It has freed up much more time for me to be reflective. That is the essence of anthropology.
The Challenge
Dr. Samantha Hurst works on community health interventions among diverse cultural groups, where long-form qualitative data and strict grant requirements demand both rigor and sensitivity.
She faced a dual limitation. Generic AI tools could not reliably hold enough context across the full dataset, while manual coding remained slow, exhausting, and vulnerable to human bias.
For publishable work, she needed a workflow that could carry the full dataset, preserve nuance, and still let her interrogate the material rigorously.
When it gets down to introducing bias, the humans are really the vehicle by which that always happens.
The Solution
QInsights allowed Dr. Hurst to upload entire sets of transcripts at once and interrogate them conversationally. She could compare universality against edge cases, revisit subtle references, and test whether themes were genuinely grounded in the data.
In one study involving Native American women, she used different phrasing for the same topic to uncover implicit references to sensitive terms without relying on exact keyword matches.
I love the fact that you can put multiple transcripts inside that product... It didn't just find the words; it found the nuance.
The Impact
The biggest gain was not just speed. By taking over the heavy lifting of pattern recognition, QInsights returned the time and mental bandwidth needed for high-level reflection.
That gave Dr. Hurst more confidence that proposals and publications were based on traceable evidence rather than fatigue-driven coding routines.
