Healthcare Research

 

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.
