All our patient market research methodologies have different strengths. Together, our patient experts and our healthcare strategists design a market research process that suits your objectives.
Our patient experts represent diverse patient and caregiver communities covering 100+ disease and conditions in 20+ countries — and we also work with patient networks and specialised market research recruiters with access to additional patients globally.
This gives us a huge foundation of patients to call on, with broad ethnic and cultural diversity. This means we can also involve underrepresented communities, amplifying voices who often aren’t heard.

Traditional market research collects insights from patients but doesn’t integrate patient input into the process, so the insights you get are inherently limited. Our patient experts know which questions to ask, which sensitivities to be aware of, and which areas to encourage deeper insight.
Overall this means the output is much richer, more detailed, more nuanced, and more accurate — so you make stronger, less risky business decisions.
