Since 1998 the healthcare
is a strategic sector and we have allocated specific
resources to build our knowledge in this area. Currently
we have a team of people with experience in this sector
who are working as a healthcare sector
team, including international consultants to broaden
our expertise in certain areas.
To allow for an easier recruitment and sampling, Mercury
Research has developed databases as follows: GP Database,
Specialist Database, Patients Suffering from Chronicle
Illness Database.
Mercury Research can support healthcare companies with:
| · |
information on physicians
treatment with new drugs; |
| · |
prescription habits
in the specific therapeutic area; |
| · |
information which
helps them decide whether and how their product
can fill a need; |
| · |
information meant
to develop a positioning for the new drug, which
sets it apart from the competition in doctors mind.
