Health and Life Sciences
The industries associated with healthcare and life sciences are complex and nuanced—Matters Graph's focus has been particularly on products and services sold into health providers and life sciences rather than the providers or payers themselves. Our experience with companies serving healthcare and life sciences is deep: these deals makes up more than 30% of our deals, and are supported by significant expertise including that of Dr. Lynt Johnson, Matters Graph's Associate Partner. Understanding Healthcare and Life Sciences involves going deep on payors dynamics and reimbursement models; understanding regulatory and pricing risk; mapping out provider (or in some cases, patient) loyalty; and gaining clarity on clinical differentiation. Custom-sourced Voice of “Customer” (Medical Provider; Economic Buyer; Clinical Administrator; Value Assessment Committee; etc.). Matters Graph's research spans perceived efficacy, drivers of choice, drivers of demand, and switching costs. Matters Graph has a very wide breadth of experience supporting CDD in opportunities associated with MedTech; medical devices; digital health; health informatics and other enterprise healthcare software; healthcare AI (transcription; optimization; and more); pharma; and services like RPO selling into numerous clinical, diagnostic and development environments such as R&D labs, diagnostic labs, physician practices, hospitals, and ambulatory care environments.
