FAQ's
Custom panel development is the process of building a dedicated, pre-screened pool of healthcare professionals or patients who agree to participate in a company's market research on an ongoing basis — rather than sourcing fresh respondents for every individual study.
A one-off survey recruits new respondents for a single study, while a custom panel builds a standing, pre-qualified community that can be engaged repeatedly for regular surveys, PMCF studies, or online focus groups reducing recruitment time and improving response consistency across future research.
MedTech and life sciences companies that need consistent, ongoing customer insight for example, a global device company tracking product development, marketing, or commercial decisions on a quarterly basis typically commission a custom panel rather than a single research engagement.
Panel development involves setting up the panel platform and technology, recruiting members through channels like email and CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing), screening and validating respondents, managing engagement and incentives, and maintaining the panel over time in close collaboration with the client.
Panel members are recruited through email and CATI outreach and then pre-screened against role, specialty, and experience criteria before joining, so that the resulting panel is made up of respondents who are both qualified and genuinely willing to participate in ongoing research.
A custom panel can support recurring quantitative surveys, online focus groups, PMCF (Post-Market Clinical Follow-up) studies, and other ongoing research needs, giving a company a consistent respondent base it can return to for study after study rather than starting recruitment from scratch each time.
Yes. Panel development follows applicable data privacy compliance requirements, including GDPR and other country-specific regulations, covering how respondent data is collected, stored, and used throughout panel recruitment and engagement.
A dedicated panel offers faster study execution, cost-effectiveness compared to recruiting fresh respondents each time, more consistent and higher-quality data over time, and the ability to engage a known, willing group of healthcare professionals whenever a new research need comes up.
Respondent engagement and incentive management are handled as an ongoing part of running the panel, covering communication with panel members and administering compensation for their participation, which helps keep panelists responsive and willing to take part in future studies.
