KOL & HCP Intelligence for Pharma and MedTech

The experts who matter. Found, scored, profiled.

We identify and profile the Key Opinion Leaders, investigators and speakers who move your therapeutic area — scoped to exactly what you need, delivered in weeks, and priced so you only pay for the data you will actually use.

What we offer

A map shows you the terrain. We tell you which way to go.

Various public sources, each holding a single reading. Assembled and connected, they become a map of your therapeutic area. But a map still leaves the hardest question open — which way to go. Here, we will support you.

  1. Data

    Collect & Verify

    Various public sources — such as study registries, conference programs, or publications—unfortunately lack a unified interface and are therefore easily overseen. Every record checked against its origin, recorded and the data will be consolidated.

  2. Information

    Connect & Structure

    The same person appears multiple times in a wide variety of formats. We resolve them into one identity — the contours become terrain. For the first time your field has a shape you can look at.

  3. Knowledge

    Interpret · Score · Contextualise

    We create a detailed network map: which experts collaborate with others, where the scientific conversation is concentrated, who is building a digital presence around it, and who the industry is already working with.

Project based research

You approve the list before we profile it.

Most of the cost in expert research is spent profiling people who turn out not to be relevant. We put the scoring step first, so you decide who is worth the deep work.

01

Define the scope

Therapeutic area and indication, countries and regions, the profile type you need — speakers, investigators, digital KOLs, advisors — and how wide you want to look.

02

Build the pool

We research the full field of medically relevant experts across trials, publications, congresses, guidelines, societies and digital channels.

03

Score and nominate

The pool is scored against your criteria. You receive a ranked nomination list and decide which experts move forward.

04

Profile and deliver

Approved experts get the full profile: trials, publications, events, digital presence, affiliations and networks. Delivered in InSpire, with raw data on request.

OpenPay Europe

The disclosure data is public — and practically unusable. Hundreds of PDFs on company websites, in different formats, with no specialty, no source, no consistent identity. OpenPay does that work for you, every year.

  • Consolidation instead of manual work

    We collect, clean, translate and link the disclosures of every reporting company, assign a consistent KOL identity, and research specialty and primary affiliation.

  • The whole market, not just your list

    See how the industry invests across specialties, regions, cities, hospitals and practices — and where you stand in that picture.

  • Your own identification pool

    Filter by specialty, city or hospital and surface new relevant KOLs yourself — without a separate paid identification phase.

  • Competitor overlap, visible

    Which companies fund the same expert, in what order of magnitude, and how that has shifted since 2021.

    • A project gives you one street. OpenPay gives you the whole country.

  • Basic

    The full market overview and identification pool. Filter, search, compare and visualise by country, KOL and affiliation.

  • Recommended

    Professional

    Everything in Basic, plus base data updates and full profiling of the KOLs you select, InSpire integration, conflict-of-interest data from additional sources, and raw data export.

  • Individual

    Starts from Basic and is extended with freely chosen modules and term length. On request.

    Congress & speaker tracking

    Buy the events you need. Not the million you don’t.

    The large event databases sell scale. That is useful if you work across every indication on earth — and expensive if you focus on couple of therapeutic areas and/or regions.

    How it works

    You name the therapeutic area, the region and the period. We collect the relevant events for exactly that window — full detail on where and when, who speaks and what they are speaking about, as far as the programme is published.

    You get the raw data quickly. Your team reads the talks and flags the people worth knowing. We come back with base data profiles for those speakers — and full profiling if you want to go deeper.

    How you get it

    Raw data first, structured so it drops straight into your own CRM or data warehouse without reformatting. In addition, we offer a platform, connected to InSpire and OpenPay Europe — so a speaker you spot in a congress programme is one click away from their full profile.

    The platforms

    Two platforms. One way of working.

    Project research is delivered in InSpire. OpenPay Europe has its own environment, built for market-wide disclosure data. The two are connected, so your team moves between a single expert profile and the whole market without switching tools.

    InSpire

    Where project based research lands. Everything you need to know about a specific expert, in one profile.

    • Trials and research focus
    • Publications and journals
    • Events, talks and roles
    • Company cooperation
    • Networks and peer influence
    • Social and digital activity

    OpenPay Europe

    Where the disclosure data lives. The market-wide view, built for filtering, comparing and spotting the people you do not know yet.

    • Interactive views by country
    • By KOL and by affiliation
    • Competitor overlap
    • Spend trends over time
    • Filter and search
    • Raw data export

    Move a name you find in OpenPay Europe straight into full profiling in InSpire — the platforms are built to hand off to each other. Congress and speaker data joins them by the end of the year.
