| the approach: | Market in View recruited small groups of consumers, in four different market segments, to participate in discussions aimed at understanding how patients perceive the traditional model of healthcare. The patient’s ideal scenario was investigated, highlighting what changes the patient would like to see in the future. By gauging initial interest and understanding of this unique strategy, valuable insights were gained. Given that this new healthcare care model would utilize technology that is new to the traditional medical practice, immediate feedback identified key misunderstandings or concerns from the focus groups. The client was able to make adjustments to presented material while focus groups were still fielding. |
