Early Patient Engagement for Better Investments

Streamline the strategic orientation of your pre-clinical development with workshops identifying the most effective strategies tailored to each patient landscape and 
your unique context.

Our approach: In-depth preparation in alignment with all your needs. Organization, execution, and interactive moderation concluded in a report.

Your outcomes: Comprehensive report with tactics linked to your company’s strategic imperatives and priorities based on timelines, resources needed and expected impact, giving a clear action plan.

Identify key patient stakeholders, understand their needs, and explore their willingness to engage laying the foundation for impactful, collaborative partnerships that creates value for both.

Our approach: We begin by understanding your indication area and then identify all relevant patient stakeholders including patient organizations, patient communities and patient experts, across the disease itself and related conditions. If desired, we can also conduct initial outreach to gain a deeper understanding of priorities and needs.

Your outcomes: A comprehensive report with a clear list of patient stakeholders, accompanied by detailed profiles and outreach priorities aligned with your objectives.

Invite knowledgeable patient experts early in your process to critically challenge your innovations, ensuring they are truly patient-relevant and that potential challenges are identified as early as possible.

Our approach: We identify the right patient expert partners, manage contracting, prepare all stakeholders for engagement, and create a safe and respectful environment to openly explore patient perspectives and needs guided by a structured moderation plan.

Your outcomes: A clear report with qualitative insights and recommendations that inform your next development steps and highlight where additional research may be needed to ensure true patient relevance.

Map the patient pathway early to uncover access barriers and ensure a feasible market launch. People living with the condition every day are the true experts in identifying obstacles to diagnosis and treatment.

Our approach: By applying a mixed-methods design (interviews followed by an online survey) we are able to understand, map, and validate the full patient pathway. All materials are co-created with those affected to ensure feasibility and reliability of the results. Our specialized, decentralized, multi-channel approach ensures an efficient and effective recruitment process.

Your outcomes: A comprehensive report including a clear illustration of the patient pathway and its key touchpoints. Access barriers and unmet needs are highlighted and paired with actionable recommendations for mitigation strategies to improve patient access and health outcomes.

Bring together strong patient experts in pre-clinical development to provide invaluable insights into your product development plans.

Our approach: We develop a charter as the foundation, identify and contract with the right participants, and execute the board meetings based on structured moderation guides.

Your outcomes: A dedicated, ongoing patient advisory board with experienced participants who are knowledgeable, engaged, and ready to share meaningful insights to support all your patient-related questions.

Conduct interviews and surveys to better understand burden of disease, unmet medical needs and collect patient experience data which informs shared decision-making and increase awareness.

Our approach: Using qualitative methods (e.g., in-depth or semi-structured interviews and focus groups) and quantitative approaches (e.g., online surveys), we gather robust patient experience data. We co-create study elements with patients and HCPs, collect and analyze the data, all while following the latest guidance from the FDA (PFDD) and PFMD.

Your outcomes: A comprehensive report that can be used for medical writing of scientific publications or internal decision-making plus an executive summary and supplementary analytical files.

Gain a deep understanding of the needs and priorities of people living with the disease to demonstrate patient relevance and highlight unmet medical needs to your external stakeholders.

Our approach: We thoroughly analyze the full decision context, then select the most appropriate qualitative (e.g., interviews) and/or quantitative (e.g., Discrete-Choice Experiments) methodologies for your objectives. All development and execution follow the latest guidelines from IMI PREFER, ISPOR, and the FDA.

Your outcomes: High-quality insights that are ready for publication or internal decision-making, revealing patient needs and priorities that can be applied across multiple areas such as target product profiles, endpoint selection, and many other strategic decisions.

Co-create materials, gain qualitative insights and advice on specific topics directly from those living with the disease. Workshops can be in person or virtual with up to 10-12 individuals.

Our approach: We identify the right patients for your specific co-creation activity, manage contracting, and lead the workshop using a clear moderation guide and interactive design-thinking methodologies, enabling an effective creation process, whether virtual or in person.

Your outcomes: A comprehensive report that informs the development of materials such as decision aids, patient education tools, adherence-support materials, and other patient-relevant resources based on patients’ perspectives.
