"

Many people think they are happiest when they are resting or relaxing. However, they are more likely to report experiencing the greatest happiness when they are immersed in an activity or fully committed to overcoming a challenge.

OUR 3 BUSINESS UNITS

ABOUT US

Research Flow, an agency specializing in data analysis, market research, data visualization, biostatistics, and non-invasive research, was founded in 2015. We focus primarily on the healthcare sector, with a specialization in the prescription drug market.

Our success centers around our supportive and collaborative team, which brings together expertise from various fields to ensure accurate results. By combining our professional knowledge in healthcare research, statistics, data analysis, database building, and health sciences, we work with a mix of established research tools and innovative analyses.

We complement each other in terms of professional background, experience, and research methods, which makes us experts across the entire healthcare spectrum.

PARTNERSHIP

We believe it is important to approach every task individually and to extract results from the most appropriate data and information sources.

For us, it is essential to work as a trusted partner, thinking together with our clients. We listen to our partners, even involving them in the planning process, ensuring that the optimal combination of research methods provides well-supported answers.

EXPERTS IN PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH

Designing effective pharmaceutical and healthcare market research tools requires in-depth industry knowledge, whether it’s about prescribing habits, patient journey or group studies, new product launches, or other strategic questions and complex market analyses.

The findings of our research shed light on problems and uncover opportunities, helping guide strategic decisions. By approaching and examining issues thoroughly from multiple angles, we arrive at conclusions that lead to better outcomes.

RELATIONSHIPS AND CREDIBILITY

Conducting effective pharmaceutical and healthcare market research requires extensive and comprehensive relationships. We maintain connections with healthcare professionals and institutions, pharmacies, regulatory authorities, advocacy groups, medical device manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies. This enables us to design research that delivers results effectively applicable to product, marketing, market access, sales, or strategic development.

In our research, we have engaged about 7,000 doctors and healthcare professionals from 23 different fields.

We have analyzed prescription data for approximately 7 million patients in 32 different markets.

During our training sessions, we have helped over 620 pharmaceutical professionals better understand the biostatistical aspects of scientific publications.

We have educated approximately 3,600 specialists from 19 fields on how to critically read the methodological and statistical aspects of scientific articles, potentially influencing the treatment of 400,000 patients with evidence-based medicine.

DATA ANALYSIS BUSINESS UNIT:

Research Flow conducts descriptive and inferential statistical analysis and data mining of NEAK, direct hospital, and other (digital, corporate) databases. Our approach is business-focused, with products and services primarily designed to answer marketing, sales, and market access questions, but we also conduct RWE (Real World Evidence) scientific research based on database investigations.

In addition to our standard, uniform products, we also create custom-tailored analyses. Our basic principle is cost-efficiency, so we strive to extract the most value, both in terms of results and usability, from each data table. We have a deep understanding of Hungarian healthcare databases, allowing us to know the depth of questions they can answer.

MARKET RESEARCH AND FIELDWORK BUSINESS UNIT

Our market research and fieldwork business unit conducts classical qualitative (surveys) and quantitative (focus groups, in-depth interviews) market research, as well as applying unique methodologies (Delphi consensus) and non-interventional studies.

As an agency specializing in pharmaceutical research, we have extensive experience across almost all therapeutic areas, and we are well acquainted with the healthcare system. Our research is grounded in practical realities: how therapies and funding protocols are applied in medical practices.

Our goal is to provide realistic, objective, and transparent results, supported by our panel of more than 6,000 specialists and general practitioners.

We are well-versed in compliance, legal, and pharmacovigilance aspects of research, which we strictly observe and follow.

DATA-STORYTELLING BUSINESS UNIT

To convey marketing and sales messages, there is often a need for channels that complement personal visits, as well as content that can be effectively delivered through these channels to the target audience. Our Data-storytelling business unit translates messages into easy-to-understand and emotionally engaging visuals, infographics, and videos. Data storytelling is a key part of the overall Research Flow solution, supporting the entire marketing mix.

Our projects are handled by a highly skilled and creative team that sensitively crafts visually appealing materials with elements most effective for the target audience.

Whether the visualization is for scientific (medical education), educational (patient education), or internal purposes (campaign presentations), our final products are marked by creativity, elegance, and a distinctive voice unique to the commissioning company.

APPLIED METHODS

Within the healthcare sector, most of our projects are focused on data analysis and comprehensive research tasks related to prescription products. We treat every research project as unique, applying solutions tailored to the specific problem. At the same time, we also have many innovative, ready-to-adapt products that quickly provide reliable answers to our partners' questions.

In addition to traditional qualitative and quantitative market research techniques, we also use innovative tools that allow us to holistically examine questions such as the following:

THE RESULT: DECISION SUPPORT

What do we offer to our business partners?

When processing and presenting research results, our primary goal is to provide well-supported, easily actionable insights and conclusions to our clients, with expert analysis and practical recommendations, along with an executive summary. We place great emphasis on presenting our results clearly, concisely, and in an understandable way, avoiding data analysis and market research jargon.

We also consider it important to present results visually whenever possible.

Our in-house data visualization team helps bring the results to life: we supplement presentations with infographics, info-videos, and animations as needed, tailored to the client and target audience.

Infographic summaries and animations help disseminate research findings more broadly within the organization, and they can also be used for training purposes. Below are a few examples. (This is where the linked videos should be inserted.)
