For a closer look at the work done by our healthcare research firm, take a look at two of Acumen’s case studies.
Acumen were asked to find participants who suffered with asthma and people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) to test the user experience of a new app.
The app was developed to provide support and information to people with a range of respiratory problems. In addition we were asked to recruit Healthcare professionals from a variety of disciplines and specialisms.
For a project like this, the database built up by our healthcare fieldwork market research team was an invaluable resource. It contains healthcare professionals of all levels and specialisms, in addition to people who have been diagnosed with a range of conditions and have volunteered to take part in studies.
The team also used their presence on social media to target people who were likely to meet one or more of the quotas required. The team drew a large pool of potential participants, who were then carefully screened to ensure they all met the criteria specified by the client.

We were asked to find participants for a study exploring the pathway to recovery for people with Hepatitis C, who also inject drugs. The purpose of the study was to understand what potential barriers to treatment they might experience.
They were to sit in a panel with experts in the treatment of Hepatitis C and other key stakeholders in the field.
The main challenge was finding participants who matched the specific profiles for the project. We used our own database, and also community forums and third-party databases. Acumen was able to recruit all of the participants the client wanted to meet with for this study. You can read more about this case study here.
