[ QuantM for Rx ]

Mobile research capturing moments of truth

1When prescribers, patients, and sales reps make decisions that impact your brand's health, you need to be in the room – not waiting outside the door. 

An oncologist decides on a regimen switch for a patient who has failed first-line therapy. A sales rep detail fails to convince a neurologist to try a new MS treatment. A pharmacist opts for a generic equivalent in filling an Alzheimer's prescription.

QuantM mobile research from Knowledge Networks brings you into these moments, revealing the underlying dynamics in ways that traditional research – with its limited palette and longer completion windows – cannot.

 

See & hear moments of truth

With QuantM, KN is tapping the unique research capabilities of smartphones, tablets, and iPod Touches for research on its industry-leading physician and patient panels. Our panel members can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with unmatched recency and texture, through short surveys, diaries, and other information requests, such as open ends, photos, audio, video, and GPS.

"QuantM represents a clear advancement in the evolution of patient and physician insights."
– Sanofi senior research manager

QuantM captures instant, often unstructured feedback in standalone studies or as part of a larger engagement, enhancing our clients' understanding of Rx switch decisions – reasons behind treatment switches and titrations, as part of patient record studies

  • Doctor/rep interactions – health care professionals' impressions of messages and detailing visits
  • Patient/doctor office visits – what was discussed and learned by HCPs and patients in specific office visits (by ailment)
  • Pharmacist call-backs – reasons for callbacks to physicians and generic switching
  • A day in the life of patients & caregivers – the physical, psychological, and emotional impact of chronic illness among patients and caregivers, including compliance issues

Mobile research through QuantM acts as a powerful element of strategic as well as tactical research. Similar to KN's suite of digital qual offerings, QuantM can be used

  • as a standalone capability,
  • before a quantitative engagement, to dimensionalize design, or
  • after a quantitative study, to drill into specific issues.
