We will use every resource available, including relatable case studies and characters, to ensure we are creating compelling content that is consistent and authentic.

SHR: Clear, Empathetic, and Engaging Messaging

By providing clarity and empathetic messaging, SHR fosters understanding and engagement between Pharma, HCPs, Patients, and Caregivers. We specialize in simplifying science, explaining medical breakthroughs, and creating content from and for patients and HCPs. Why is what we do so vital to your firm? Scientific breakthroughs mean nothing if no one ever hears about them.

On average, it takes 17 years for scientific findings to be implemented into routine medical practice. This is known as the dissemination gap for clinical research. Scientific research is expensive and lengthy. A long lag time makes it difficult for small start-ups to turn a profit. Thus, many discoveries fail to progress to the point of becoming a product to treat patients.

Having a simplified, strategic information dissemination and implementation plan, i.e., an easy-to-understand science and medical communication plan that targets all the stakeholders, including key scientists and HCPs, patients, caregivers, and advocacy groups, and includes all the ways humans consume information these days....everything from top scientific journals to social media platforms.....can make all the difference.

SHR is a strategic, bespoke medical communications consultancy firm that considers all this and helps pharma, biotech, diagnostic, and medical device start-ups transition from R&D to patient-centric entities.

Patient Advocacy

Social Health Research has the expertise to create sensitive, moving, and encouraging patient stories that form lasting impressions. That's essential to stand out and reach patients, caregivers, and family members, especially when they may be facing difficult decisions and going through stressful and emotionally painful moments.

SHR provides honest, compassionate storytelling by experienced, award-winning print, video, and radio journalists. Our impactful stories reach patients, caregivers, and family members through the social network and media channels they employ. 

SHR also works with advocacy groups. We identify appropriate patients, or work with the patients you provide, to craft inspiring stories of patients' diagnoses and treatment journeys aligned with your messages and healthcare goals.

Opinion Leader Database

Identifying who the enduring KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), DOLs (Digital Opinion Leaders) and DKOLs (Digital Key Opinion Leaders) are in today's fast-paced and volatile medical communications landscape has become increasingly difficult. 

Companies need to discern the most pressing information gaps in public health knowledge and decide who the most trusted opinion and thought leaders are to get their health messages out and reach their targeted audiences. The SHR database is unique, employing a variety of algorithms and research processes to identify the most influential messengers of multiple chronic disease states. We use numerous engagement methods, including surveys, diaries, focus groups, advisory boards, and social media.
