Early Findings

clinical trials

Novo Nordisk and Roche
, Adhera Therapeutics, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Pierre Fabre Pharmaceuticals, PruGen Pharmaceuticals, Recordati, and Theramex.
The IQVIA Institute supports independent research and
collaborates
with researchers and students.
Summary
For this hour, we tried identifying as much of the requested information as possible. We were mainly able to identify some early insights on Nielsen, Kantar, and Quintiles.
We focused a bit more on Kantar and Quintiles since they appeared to do more market research in healthcare compared to Nielsen.
W
e
were able to identify some brief insights on what healthcare aspects they focus on and found some insights on what industries they sell to.
However, insights on how much they charge and whether they buy research from others did not appear immediately available in a public search.
We also found that the IQVIA Institute
collaborates
with researchers and students. They also welcome
proposals
that examine most aspects of healthcare and are particularly interested in projects that are directly relevant to
ongoing healthcare reform
. Their high-priority areas include "
comparative effectiveness
, drug utilization trends and expenditure, real-world practice, and geographic variations in care."
We recommend continuing the research for the other identified global market research leaders (Ipsos, GfK, IrI, Mckinsey, Westat). If more research on Nielsen, Kantar, and IQVIA is preferred, please let us know in a comment below.
In the course of our research, we also came across
Mercer
, a consulting company that has conducted surveys on healthcare workers in the healthcare industry. We can explore this further if this is of interest.
