Strengthening HCP Engagement through Targeted Survey Campaigns: A Case Study in Chronic Disease Management

Introduction

In an increasingly data-driven healthcare ecosystem, gathering real-time insights from physicians is essential for refining therapeutic strategies and strengthening brand performance. A recent digital survey campaign aimed at understanding the usage patterns and perceptions of two chronic disease management therapies—targeted at diabetes and hypertension—demonstrates how strategic outreach and HCP engagement can generate high-quality insights within a short timeframe.

The campaign was designed and executed on a medical learning platform using a dual-brand strategy. Surveys were deployed to healthcare professionals across multiple specialties with the goal of capturing feedback to inform product positioning, market fit, and service enhancements.


Campaign Objectives

  • Collect actionable feedback from HCPs on two therapy areas: type 2 diabetes and hypertension with associated conditions.
  • Strengthen brand perception and responsiveness through informed physician engagement.
  • Achieve a minimum of 100 survey responses per brand within one month.
  • Leverage omnichannel communication (email + SMS) to ensure maximum reach and recall.

Methodology

  • Platform Used: A digital medical learning and engagement platform.
  • Channels: Email and SMS campaigns targeted at physicians with specialty-specific messaging.
  • Survey Tool: Google Forms embedded in campaign content.
  • Audience:
    • Consulting Physicians (72,173)
    • Diabetologists (6,044)
    • Endocrinologists (1,325)
    • Nephrologists (2,114)
  • Engagement Frequency:
    • Twice a month for Consulting Physicians and Diabetologists
    • Four times a month for Endocrinologists and Nephrologists
