HRW Patient Research

We believe the patient’s voice is key to strategic business understanding as that of the prescriber and that the physician may not always be the right person to offer the patient perspective.

With the rise in patient-centricity in communications, prescribing influence and medication adherence, patient insights can have a significant impact brand strategy.

When it’s done well, patient research doesn’t have to be challenging, time-consuming or superficial.

By combining a bespoke recruitment approach, with evidence-based qualitative and quantitative methodologies grounded in Behavioural Science, we can help access the heart of the patient experience.

This enables our clients to challenge the status quo and improve business strategic understanding, and:

• Influence prescribing patterns and healthcare decision-making
• Increase medication compliance and adherence
• Optimise patient trust and adherence
• Improve all touchpoints of a patients’ healthcare experience

The true value of patient-centricity can be difficult to quantify without a scientific methodology. It’s why we:

How are we different? We are:

Results-orientated
Our HRW Spotlight team combine our patient research with behavioural science. This means we go far beyond recording patients’ behaviour to give concrete recommendations as to how, for example, to overcome patient barriers with medication adherence and communications engagement.
Successful recruiters
We have the ability and experience to recruit hard-to-reach patient audiences through working with expert field partners and using both digital and non-digital recruitment approaches used for recruiting to clinical trials. 
Ethically-driven
Our ethos is based around innovative patient methodologies such as our Soulmate™’ duo interviewing approach, our commitment to patient care and our behavioural science overlay.
Data interpreters
As patient experts, we focus beyond ‘telling patient stories’ to interrogating data through a behavioural science lens to optimise your strategic thinking. This means our clients can measure the gaps between the intended experience for patients versus the actual experience and identify patient pain points limiting brand success.
Thought leaders
We’ve won 12+ international awards, including the EphMRA Excellence in MR Award, Best Use of Innovation (BOBI awards) and Intellus Worldwide Impact Award, and delivered scores of industry abstracts and papers.
