Patient Insights: Focusing on patients

Patient Insights offers ideal solutions to patient-related issues by providing reliable and timely insights into the reality of care in the prescription drug market covered by statutory health insurance (SHI). Our data enables longitudinal analyses over a period of up to five years and allows you to differentiate between individual treatment points, such as new prescriptions and medication changes.

We apply anonymized healthcare data from over 64 million patients in Germany, whose healthcare reality we have been recording and evaluating since March 2020. This corresponds to approximately 77 percent of all statutory health insurance patients nationwide. All results can be extrapolated to the entire SHI market. For this purpose, we use a procedure approved under data protection law for anonymous recording via a trust center.

"Prescription and sales data are an important source for market insights, but they alone are not sufficient for us. This is because they merely reflect the status quo of the market environment and do not take individual treatments into account. Our longitudinal analyses, on the other hand, provide detailed information about how therapy actually works for patients, which specialist groups are crucial for established or new therapy regimens, and which patient characteristics prevail in your therapy environment."

Marcel Moser, Vice President Patient Insights
