Overview of the Webinar
In this webinar, originally hosted by the BHBIA, Convosphere’s CEO Jackie Cuyvers explains how Patient Emotional Journey Analysis – conducted by experienced and native language pharma social listening analysts – uncovers the ‘why’ behind the sentiments, conversation themes and share of voice, and the emotional impact of the disease and treatments, to provide pharma brands with the insights needed to make strategic data-driven decisions.
Using a case study on Patient Emotional Analysis conducted on conversations around Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the US by patients and caregivers, the webinar will guide you through:

How Convosphere Conducts Patient Emotional Journey Analysis
From the data collection and research groundwork through to the final report delivery, this section demonstrates the step-by-step methodology of Convosphere’s Patient Emotional Journey Analysis and why our unique approach to human-led analysis guarantees effective insights to drive impact.
The Limitations of Static Research Techniques
Focus groups and consumer surveys have traditionally been the go-to methods for pharmaceutical companies to gather patient insight. But in recent years, the industry has realised the need to adjust to the dynamic digital landscape. Patients, as well as caregivers, actively turn to social media and forums to connect with peers, share their experiences and to seek and offer advice.
It is in light of this shift from the passive to the empowered patient that pharma marketers have begun to supplement primary market research with, or even fully rely on, social listening as a research method to better understand patient perceptions and experiences through media monitoring.
How Pharma Researchers Can Use Social Listening
Companies that address the pain points and issues along the patient’s care pathway will reap the rewards in the long term. Social listening platforms are a great way for pharma brands to derive value from online patient conversation. They can help pharma researchers build a therapy area overview, track their brand share of voice against competitors, monitor stakeholder conversations and sentiment. They can even help build a treatment journey to pinpoint the conversation drivers of each stage.
But to truly listen to the patients and learn from their experiences, pharma brands should never rely on automated tools alone. Instead, they need to recognise the need for human-led analysis. Because, after all, patients are individuals and so social media monitoring tools are, many times, unsuited to untangle the complexities of the human mind.
The Importance of Understanding Language Variation
With nearly 3.5 billion of us already online – a number set to double over the next decade with mainly non-English speakers from Africa, Asia and South America joining the social space – it’s vital to understand the variations in language by location. Social listening tools won’t necessarily be able to differentiate between dialects or pick up on tone, irony, idioms and topic-specific jargons.
