RESEARCH STRATEGY GROUP uncovered patient cultural codes and mental models to develop the product launch positioning, physician targeted communications strategy & sales aids, and patient education materials. Notably, the Rx volumes at launch exceeded all forecasts. In addition, the Centre of Excellence requested permission to use the homework booklet as an intake and counseling tool for patients.

method

Our team employed psychoanalytics & traditional research discourse through in person IDIs with diagnosed patients. Patients completed a psychoanalytics homework workbook prior to their interview to aid in articulating not only their journey but the associated emotions, fears, desires, along with wins & disappointments.
