“HTA agencies and payers are interested in value for patients and healthcare systems, based on evidence about health outcomes rather than efficacy alone.”

Data generation and expert opinion
Post-market surveillance of MedTech is now mandated in many jurisdictions. This can be complex to achieve if the technology is not listed in electronic health records, as is true for many medical devices. To fill this gap, Coreva Scientific works with you and your ream to develop a product-linked data collection app – enabling data from providers and patients to be recorded.
Can one person ever know all the answers? It is unlikely, and functionally diverse groups have been found to often beat groups of high-performing individuals. The insights and next-level ideas that come from engaging with a group of diverse experts can bring real value. Let Coreva Scientific lead your next advisory board, Delphi panel, interviews, or survey.
If you are looking for a structured and collaborative method to engage with KOLs then advisory boards can help you gain new insights and advice to solve business problems. If not run well, there is the risk that you only get back what you want to hear. Through focused moderation, Coreva Scientific will help you uncover the real value in KOL feedback. We also recommend talking to KOLs that don’t use or support your product, a so called Antiboard. In this way you can learn where market growth is possible and challenge their thinking.
Sometimes data are unavailable or collecting reliable data is not feasible. For example, how would you collect data on the most appropriate care pathway? You cannot run a trial comparing all possible pathways. What if you need to validate assumptions for a model or come to a conclusion on which patients benefit most from your product. These are situations where a Delphi panel is required. A structured, validated method for reaching expert consensus: a Delphi panel is accepted as evidence by HTA bodies and is suitable for publication in clinical journals.
Stakeholders can have varying opinions and perspectives. There are times when you want to bring them together and form consensus (Delphi panel) and there are times when you need to understand their individual points of view. Interviews of payers, providers, or patients can provide valuable insights into how approach the market. An interview can bring critical business data to the table.
How many providers believe in my product? How important are adverse events to payers? When you need to quantify something then surveys are a great option to consider. Online surveys can access payers, providers, and patients from all round the world and data can be collected quickly and efficiently. Coreva Scientific have validated partners in recruitment of respondents to ensure that all the surveys we undertake are compliant and publishable.
