Gaining a granular view of the patient journey is critical to life sciences commercialization in today’s patient-centric world, informing everything from product development to market access and post-launch management.

“Our previous patient journey work was conducted in typical fashion – qualitative interviews with patients, maybe a quantitative study, but we really needed to understand the emotions patients were experiencing at each stage in order to identify messaging that resonates in order to better support patients and keep them on that journey longer.

Patients don’t want to read language that they’re not using in the context of their day-to-day.”
