PATIENTS’ INSIGHTS

Deep understanding of the patient journey

Patient journey is an effective tool to unveil patients’ perspective at every stage of their disease. We conduct market surveys and focus groups to provide our clients with insights which allows them to better engage with patients and understand their individual needs and challenges.

Generate reliable data to demonstrate value to payers

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and Real-world Evidence (RWE) are effective tools to generate local data outside clinical trials, and give a better understanding about the drug effectiveness, tolerability and HRQoL in a targeted group or subgroup of patients. PRO and RWE are being increasingly requested by payers to bridge the gap between the patients’ populations and outcomes from Clinical Trials and the actual population and the outcome in the local clinical practice. We deliver evidence-based research focusing on PRO and RWE to demonstrate the real value of the drug to payers, as well as other stakeholders.

TREATMENT’S OUTCOMES

Improve patients’ adherence

Non-adherence to medication may result in poor treatment outcomes, which have a negative impact on all stakeholders. We provide effective tools to drive adherence for target patient segments. We address the many reasons for non-adherence, starting with assessing the risk of non-adherence, to motivational coaching and behavioral change, reminders and alerts and call-center and/or home visits for adherence coaching, digital application and platform…

Ensure optimal access to medication

Financial restrictions and co-payment can be a real hurdle for patients, especially those with a chronic disease or those requiring expensive medications. We collaborate with pharmaceutical companies and payers to design appropriate co-payment programs or compassionate strategies to ensure access for patients.

PATIENTS ENGAGEMENT

Empower patients to play an active role in their treatment

Patients are becoming more and more active and engaged in their own healthcare condition. This is an increasing trend that is believed to have a positive impact on the patients’ satisfaction and clinical outcomes and improve their overall experience. Therefore increasing patients’ engagement requires educating and informing the patients about their condition.
Our services include providing nurses and healthcare coaches who support patients enrolled in our programs. They provide calls or home assistance for patients throughout their journey, disease education and day-to-day tips on living with the condition, continuous motivation and encouragement to patients, and education on self-injection or scheduling doses…

Disease awareness campaigns

We design disease awareness campaigns to enhance the understanding of the disease and assess its burden from different perspectives. We ensure a successful campaign through addressing the right audience, using impactful messages and selecting the most appropriate communication channels.

Optimizing Patient – HCP communication

Patients have their own beliefs about their illness and treatment. These beliefs need to be elicited, evaluated and understood, so that they can be addressed effectively. We design workshops for physicians who are looking to enhance their communication and focus on the importance of understanding and communicating the right message to their patients.

Educational materials

We develop patient materials, application, website, education guides and frequently asked questions brochures that offer patients and their families a quality resource developed by experts in the field. These materials can cover topics such as causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. They may also include tips on healthy living with the disorder.

Clinical trials

We develop and translate consent forms to ensure patients are aware of and understand all study procedures, including study objectives, potential risks and benefits, other available treatment options and participants’ rights.

With long follow up periods, patient retention represents a critical challenge for clinical trials. We also design programs to ensure patient retention and the adherence to study procedures. Additionally, we provide logistical solutions to ensure proper data collection, including patient diaries, reminders for drug dosing, lab tests, imaging, etc…

We assist hospitals to develop a clinical research unit that optimizes the study conduct by screening the appropriate patients for each protocol, assisting the patients in scheduling the different procedures, ensuring proper data collection, following up on queries and all other site management services.
