HRW Shift
Do you know why patients or physicians behave the way they do?
HRW Shift, our team of behaviour change experts, shine a light on the hidden factors at play through the multidisciplinary and evidence-based lens of behavioural science- which can give you and your team that fresh “spark” in seeing how we tackle problems; promote your product; or understand your stakeholders.
HRW Innovation
We apply our innovative thinking to determine, evaluate, and validate the most powerful, visionary, and cutting-edge market research solutions for our clients’ needs.
We achieve this through committed investment and self-funded studies, and continuous assessment and scoping of the ever-changing market research landscape- in healthcare and beyond.
Who are we?
We are driven by our shared mission to get to the heart of our clients’ business questions and are well equipped in our quest.
With access to integrated centres of excellence, including our award-winning Behavioural Science team HRW Shift, our Data Science Team, and a devoted Innovation Hub, we are constantly challenging ourselves to deliver new, tailored approaches that meet our clients’ needs in an ever-evolving space.
Behavioural Science
Uncover the hidden drivers of human behaviour to better understand and serve your customers and strengthen the success of your asset, with the healthcare market research industry’s largest and most-awarded behavioural science team – HRW Shift.
Innovation
Since 2001, HRW Innovation have been on a quest for deeper insights through the identification and application of the most innovative market research techniques, tools, and methodologies, to better equip us to answer our clients’ business questions.
Quantitative Research
Get actionable answers to your business questions that require precise measurement. To give you a truly holistic understanding of your customers, we apply bespoke quantitative methodologies that fuse data science with behavioural science. The result? Robust and nuanced results that go beyond the numbers.
Qualitative Research
We help to formulate more successful customer-centric brand strategies with the application of innovative and proprietary qualitative research methodologies, overlaid by behavioural science, and integrated with quantitative approaches to support your business needs across the brand life cycle.
Patient Research
We don’t just tell patient stories. We translate moments of truth into actionable insights to optimise strategic thinking and help deliver patient-centric brand success.
Multimedia Outputs
With audiences growing weary of “Death by PowerPoint”, we go beyond the presentation to share insights in creative and interactive media form, working with our Creative Lab to use the right tools for the job: videos, animations, infographics, newsletters, virtual immersive experiences and even using props (from popcorn to handbags).
