Survey template: Patient survey about medication adherence

If you’re trying to get actionable feedback from a patient medication adherence survey, you know the struggle: response rates are low, data can be patchy, and patient engagement isn’t guaranteed. That’s where an AI survey template from Specific comes in—designed for real conversations, so you can use and try this template for better patient insights.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for patients

We’ve all experienced those clunky, one-sided questionnaires that don’t get the depth you need from patients. Creating effective medication adherence surveys is challenging, not just because patients are juggling their health but because traditional methods don’t feel engaging. That’s why using an AI survey generator changes the game.

AI-driven conversational survey templates adapt to how patients respond. Instead of a rigid list of questions, the survey feels more like a chat—natural, responsive, and even a bit empathetic. This approach isn’t just easier for patients, it addresses a major pain point in healthcare: low survey response rates. For example, web-based patient surveys average a response rate of just 59.3%, while in-person methods do much better at 77.8%—but those simply aren’t scalable or efficient for most organizations [1].

Here’s why AI survey generation is different:

Why use AI for patient surveys?

• AI-powered surveys boost engagement by keeping questions relevant and tailored to each patient’s context—leading to more robust, trustworthy data [2].

• Automated question creation and intelligent follow-up let you gather more information with less effort.

• Specific offers best-in-class experience: our conversational surveys are designed for a smooth, familiar chat flow, making it easier for patients to complete and be understood.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of Specific’s biggest advantages? Our AI doesn’t just run down a list of questions—it probes deeper. Automatic follow-up questions respond to each patient’s answer, asking for clarification or more detail if something is unclear.

This is huge. In traditional forms or static surveys, if a patient gives a vague answer, you’re left guessing. Instead of back-and-forth emails to clarify, AI follow-up happens instantly, so you get clean, actionable insights.

See the difference:

• Patient: “I sometimes forget to take my medication.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you share when you’re most likely to forget? Is it in the morning or evening, or when your routine is disrupted?”

• Patient: “The side effects bother me.”

• AI follow-up: “Which side effects are most troublesome, and have you discussed these with your provider?”

If you skip follow-ups, you might end up with unclear replies or incomplete context—leaving your data far less useful. Try generating a survey on this page and see how the AI’s follow-ups add more clarity.

These follow-ups are what transform an ordinary questionnaire into a conversational survey—genuine dialogue, not just boxes to check. Learn more about our automatic AI follow-up questions feature.

Easy editing, like magic

We all tweak surveys after seeing real responses or after feedback from colleagues. With Specific’s AI survey editor, you simply describe (in plain language) what you want to change, and the template instantly updates—like chatting with an expert survey maker who responds in seconds. This means you can add, remove, or rephrase questions effortlessly, without fiddling with complicated form editors or learning survey mechanics. The AI does the heavy lifting, and you get a patient-ready survey—fast.

You can go even deeper or create a whole new survey from scratch using our AI survey generator if you have other topics or patient research in mind.

Delivering surveys: landing pages or in-product for patients

Getting your survey in front of the right patients matters, and Specific covers all bases.

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect when you want to reach patients via email, patient portals, or even QR codes in clinics. Each survey lives on its own unique web page—copy the link and distribute however you like. This approach is great for broad audiences or ongoing recruitment.

• In-product surveys: Best for embedding into patient-facing web apps or online care platforms. The survey appears seamlessly as a chat widget, capturing feedback at the right moment—like after prescription renewal or a telemedicine visit.

For medication adherence, landing page delivery lets you reach patients proactively outside appointments, while in-product makes sense if you already have a digital health platform and want targeted, in-the-moment feedback.
