[Request Pricing and Start Demo](https://getminds.ai/?register=true) With Minds, product owners in German health insurance simulate the comprehension of new supplementary policies for older members in record time. The platform delivers precise target audience simulations with an average correlation of 85 to 95 percent compared to traditional panels - and up to 100 percent for specific questions - directly integrated into your product development process in Germany. ## The job to be done Product owners at German health insurance companies are under constant pressure to develop innovative and competitive supplementary policies, such as outpatient care, dental prevention, or alternative medicine. One of the biggest hurdles when launching these policies is communicating the often complex terms and conditions clearly, especially for the sensitive and growing target group of older policyholders. If seniors do not immediately understand the exclusions, waiting periods, or reimbursement limits of a new policy, it leads to high drop-off rates in the digital application process, overloaded customer service, and, in the worst-case scenario, legal disputes or complaints to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). Therefore, the product owner must ensure during the conceptual phase that all policy information, product information sheets, and marketing materials are completely accessible, jargon-free, and easy to understand. Approval from the board and the legal department depends heavily on whether the product is demonstrably consumer-friendly. ## What today's workflow looks like (and where it breaks) The current process for testing copy comprehension is slow, expensive, and error-prone. Typically, after aligning with the legal department, product owners draft a briefing for an external market research agency. This agency painstakingly recruits a physical panel or organizes focus groups with older people to test the drafts of the general insurance terms. This process usually takes four to six weeks and consumes a significant portion of the project budget. Furthermore, the sample size in such qualitative studies is often very small, limiting representativeness. Alternatively, digital surveys are launched, but older target groups are structurally underrepresented in them, leading to biased results. A/B testing on the website is impossible at this stage because the product is not yet live, and untested terms cannot be trialed on real customers. The result is a sluggish, iterative process where valuable time to market is lost, and confusing phrasing often still remains in the final product. ## The Minds workflow Minds revolutionizes this process through a three-stage, scientifically validated simulation infrastructure integrated directly into the product owner's agile development process. First, data anchoring takes place at Level 01. The model is calibrated with your existing CRM data, historical customer surveys, or traditional market studies. Personas are not created from pure assumptions: instead, all simulations are based on real data points of the German population. Second, the simulation model is configured at Level 02. The product owner defines the target audience, for example, publicly insured retirees aged 65 to 80 with a medium level of education residing in Germany. Here, Minds draws on established demographic and psychographic models to accurately map the behavior and language comprehension of this group. Third, validation takes place at Level 03. The simulation results are continuously benchmarked against real panel data and established reference benchmarks from official bodies such as the Statistisches Bundesamt or Eurostat. The concrete workflow in daily operations looks like this: - The product owner uploads the draft of the product information sheet or policy terms to the Minds platform. - Specific comprehension questions are defined in the system, such as: Does the user understand that professional teeth cleaning is only reimbursed after a six-month waiting period? - Minds runs the simulation, generating up to 10,000 individual comprehension tests with the defined target audience in less than an hour. - The platform delivers a detailed evaluation showing exactly which paragraphs the simulated testers struggle with, which technical terms cause confusion, and how high the cognitive load is during reading. - The product owner receives concrete suggestions for linguistic optimization and can immediately test the revised copy in a new simulation to directly validate the success of the adjustment. ## Sample output In a concrete application scenario, a product owner at a large private health insurance company tested the terms for a new supplementary long-term care policy. The original draft contained the phrasing: _The obligation to perform is contingent upon the need for care being determined by the Medical Service in accordance with SGB XI, and at least care level two being present._ The Minds simulation with 10,000 virtual testers in the 60+ age group showed that 38 percent of respondents did not understand what the abbreviation _SGB XI_ meant for their specific benefit entitlement. Many wrongly assumed they would have to submit additional private expert opinions. Based on this feedback, the product owner changed the text to: _You will receive the agreed benefit as soon as statutory care level two or higher has been officially confirmed by the Medical Service of your health insurance provider._ A subsequent control simulation with Minds confirmed an increase in comprehension to 96 percent, completely eliminating potential misunderstandings and later complaints before the official product launch. ## Why this beats the alternative Minds offers decisive advantages over traditional methods such as physical panels, focus groups, or classic online surveys. The biggest difference lies in scalability and speed: Minds delivers up to 10,000+ simulated comprehension tests within an hour, whereas traditional market research takes weeks and requires large budgets. You get deep insights into your target audience's language comprehension and objection patterns at a fraction of the cost of a traditional panel, and completely without the usual recruitment costs per participant. The average correlation of 85 to 95 percent with real panels guarantees a reliable basis for decision-making. It is important to emphasize that Minds is not intended for clinical or regulatory studies, representative price elasticity research, or political polling. However, for the precise, fast, and iterative optimization of consumer copy and policy terms, there is no more efficient solution on the market. ## Next step Optimize your policy communication and secure your product launch before spending valuable budget on traditional market research or flawed campaigns. With Minds, you test the comprehension of your insurance terms in an agile, precise, and fully GDPR-compliant manner on servers in Germany.

Within an hour, the platform delivers precise insights into which clauses are confusing or misleading for older policyholders. With an average correlation of 85 to 95 percent compared to traditional panels, you can iteratively optimize your copy before heading into final legal review or market launch. ### **What replaces traditional research in this workflow?** Minds replaces slow, expensive manual methods like physical focus groups, external agency briefings, and traditional online surveys that often take weeks and incur high recruitment costs for specific age groups. Instead, you use an AI-powered simulation platform built on real demographic and psychographic data. This eliminates recruitment overhead and allows for unlimited, instant iterations of your policy copy at a fraction of the cost of traditional market studies. ### **How fast can product-owner run this with Minds?** A complete comprehension test with Minds takes less than an hour. Product owners can upload their policy drafts, define their target audience of older policyholders, and receive detailed evaluations of linguistic accessibility and potential misunderstandings within minutes. This allows you to test adjustments on the same day and feed them directly into the next sprint. ### **Is this GDPR/DSGVO safe for health-insurance?** Yes, Minds is fully GDPR-compliant and specifically designed for the strict security requirements of the German insurance industry. The entire infrastructure is hosted on servers within the European Union. Because the platform uses purely synthetic audience simulations, no personal data of real policyholders or test subjects is processed or stored at any point.
