Patient Recruitment Services
for clinical and market research
MedPanel provides patient recruitment services for clinical and market research, combining targeted outreach, global networks, and rigorous screening to deliver qualified participants efficiently.
MedPanel at a glance
Brought to every recruitment engagement, across dozens of therapeutic areas.
Unlike panel-based providers, participants are recruited custom for each study and matched precisely to your criteria.
Methodology aligns with ESOMAR international standards for market research.
To begin with, finding the right patients is one of the most critical — and most difficult — steps in healthcare research. MedPanel connects pharmaceutical, biotech, and research organizations with verified patients across therapeutic areas through targeted outreach, global networks, and rigorous screening, with the same team supporting studies from feasibility through delivery so timelines stay aligned end to end.
As a result, teams see faster recruitment timelines without sacrificing participant quality — for clinical trials, real-world studies, and market research alike — and sponsors and agencies spend less time chasing enrollment and more time on science and insights.
Expertise in hard-to-reach populations
First of all, MedPanel brings over 20 years of experience to every recruitment engagement. Our proprietary global network gives clients access to verified patients across dozens of therapeutic areas — not just common conditions. By contrast, unlike panel-based providers, we recruit custom for each study, so participants are matched precisely to your criteria — leading to higher data quality and fewer screening failures.
Rare disease recruitment requires a fundamentally different approach than standard patient outreach. For example, a study targeting Fabry disease or Epidermolysis Bullosa cannot rely on general consumer panels — the populations are simply too small. According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), nearly 7,000 rare diseases affect over 300 million people worldwide, yet most remain severely under-researched.
MedPanel reaches these patients through physician partnerships, advocacy organization relationships, and verified patient registries. Furthermore, all participants undergo diagnosis verification before inclusion in any study.
What we offer in patient recruitment services
We provide comprehensive patient recruitment services tailored to different research needs. Additionally, our approach ensures access to diverse and hard-to-reach populations. Our patient recruitment services include:
Patient recruitment for complex studies
Healthcare research often requires engaging patients in challenging areas. Our patient recruitment services are designed to support studies involving rare diseases, emerging therapies, underserved populations, and sensitive conditions.
Global recruitment capabilities
Healthcare research increasingly requires international samples. MedPanel’s recruitment capabilities span North America, Europe, and additional regions depending on study requirements — with localized outreach support ensuring studies meet regional regulatory requirements, including EU GDPR obligations for health data and applicable local ethics standards.
