Insight from Patients' Real Experiences

We collect real experiences from patients and caregivers across conditions, life stages, and care settings making messaging more relevant, empathetic, and effective.

THE SHR DIFFERENCE

We understand the clinical landscape and weave science, patient stories, and regulations into messaging that moves faster, anticipates risk earlier, and stands up to scrutiny without losing impact.

Science that Makes Sense

Healthcare is becoming more complex; your communication shouldn't be. We distill molecular science and clinical data into clear, compelling stories people can understand, trust, and remember, without compromising accuracy or nuance.

Compliance-First.
Always

Regulatory alignment is built into our foundation, not added at the end. We ensure every communication stays within a therapy's FDA and EMA guardrails, while preserving core strategic strength.

Research-Driven Storytelling

Every narrative decision is evidence-informed. We apply behavioral science, qualitative research, and narrative strategy to shape messaging that reflects how people process health information.

The Stories Behind the Science

Behind every breakthrough are patients and families navigating life-changing illnesses and having to make tough decisions. We talk to patients and caregivers to learn what matters to them the most and if a cure isn't available, what does better look like? We capture these lived experiences and turn them into insights that provide understanding, empathy, and meaning and help improve care.

Who We Are

Social Health Research (SHR) is a strategic, research-driven medical communications firm based in Chatham, New Jersey. We weave award-winning content, insight generation, and strategic planning to help healthcare organizations communicate clearly and with purpose.

We Listen

From newborns and their parents to seniors and their caregivers, we take the time to understand how people live with, manage, and access care across various conditions and communities. We ask the hard questions to learn what matters most, what they fear, and what they hope for. We capture patient journeys; their emotions, experiences, and barriers to healing, so our partners can understand, react, and communicate clearly with empathy and relevance in evolving markets.

We Care

We ask the hard questions that others might overlook. Why did a patient choose one therapy over another, or why weren’t they able to choose it at all? Was it the cost, the distance from home, the need to keep working, or the lack of child or elder care? Was there no one to look after the dog, or not enough parking at the hospital? Would treatment at home, such as an oral therapy, have made the difference? By uncovering these real-world barriers, we provide the companies we partner with clear, strategic insights, because we care deeply about patients and their families.
