HealthUnlocked is the largest social network dedicated
to health in the world. Used by more than 40 million people each year, it has
over 600 health-specific online communities, which are owned and moderated by
patient organisations across the world. HealthUnlocked communities help
people to connect with organisations and people with the same health concerns,
ask questions and receive helpful advice and support. HealthUnlocked uses
unique artificial intelligence to help patients by recommending health content,
information and services to patients in a highly tailored fashion.
The complementary services of Health Unlimited and
HealthUnlocked will enable clients to access best practice patient recruitment,
retention and engagement programmes, and will drive organic and new business
for both agencies. The partnership will also create referral opportunities
across other areas of the Unlimited Group, with its full service market
research agency ICM Unlimited already working closely with the HealthUnlocked
team.
Nicky Walsby, Executive Director of Health Unlimited,
commented: “HealthUnlocked occupy a unique space in the healthcare market. The
importance of direct-to-patient engagement will only increase as market access
challenges continue to prevail, particularly in the costly chronic diseases
area. Patients want to be engaged in decisions affecting their care in a timely
and authentic manner. Our partnership with HealthUnlocked will support our
strategy to build a best in healthcare consumer engagement capability that
delivers real value for people living with any healthcare condition.”
Phil Golz, Commercial Director at HealthUnlocked adds
“HealthUnlocked has extensive experience in building patient centric digital
communities to support people to improve their health and quality of life, and
we have expertise in working with care providers, pharmaceutical companies and
clinical research organisations leveraging our network to meet their business
needs in dealing directly with patients.
“Health Unlimited is a natural partner for
HealthUnlocked and industry customers will benefit from our close collaboration
and shared ways of working. Together we will support better health outcomes for
millions of people, by creating further awareness of our health network and
successfully supporting industry to reach highly tailored segments of
patients.”
