Improving Reach through Strong Physician Segmentation

About Customer

This pharmaceutical company focuses on developing new drugs to treat cancer.

The Challenge:

To achieve success during the critical first six months after releasing a new oncology therapy, the company needed to quickly reach as many patients as possible. The growing company needed to prioritize sales resources towards high-value health care professionals, but it worried that it would miss out on valuable physicians given its current, incomplete data set. The company needed help to pull together real-world data and gather actionable insights quickly.

“Working with Acorn AI allowed us to act on data far faster and more reliably than we could by ourselves. We can accelerate the time from launch to peak impact by engaging faster with more physicians and patients.”

- Senior Director of Commercial Operations, Oncology-Focused Pharmaceutical Company

The Results:

Acorn AI worked with biomarker and patient data to reprioritize health care professional segments. Out of 1,000 tier 1 targets, 250 were identified as highest priority and over 200 were eliminated. An additional 700 health care professionals were then identified and added to the tiered priority lists, expanding the reach for sales representatives. 

Acorn AI completed this analysis in just two weeks, with updated prioritization added to the sales representative dashboards just one week later. Working with this data, the pharmaceutical company can better prioritize sales resources to contact higher value physicians, reach more patients, and accelerate the time from launch to peak impact.
