Why Clients Choose MedPanel
MedPanel brings over 20 years of experience to every recruitment engagement. Moreover, our proprietary global network gives clients access to verified patients across dozens of therapeutic areas — not just common conditions.
Unlike panel-based providers, we recruit custom for each study. Consequently, participants are matched precisely to your criteria, which leads to higher data quality and fewer screening failures. Our methodology aligns with ESOMAR’s international standards for market research.
Expertise in Hard-to-Reach Populations
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.
Global Recruitment Capabilities
Healthcare research increasingly requires international samples. MedPanel’s recruitment capabilities span North America, Europe, and additional regions depending on study requirements.
In addition, our team provides localized outreach support, ensuring studies meet regional regulatory requirements — including EU GDPR obligations for health data and applicable local ethics standards.
Research-Driven Approach
Our recruitment methodologies are designed to support both qualitative and quantitative research, ensuring reliable and relevant participant selection.
Trusted by Healthcare Organizations
MedPanel supports pharmaceutical, biotech, and consulting organizations with consistent, high-quality recruitment for research studies.
Our Patient Recruitment Process
We follow a structured four-step process on every engagement. First, we work with your team to define participant criteria and study objectives. Next, we activate targeted outreach across our networks and partner channels.
From there, every candidate goes through a screening and qualification review to confirm they meet your exact requirements. Finally, we manage delivery and provide ongoing support throughout the research process — so your team can focus on insights rather than logistics. Our processes are certified under ISO 20252, the international standard for market, opinion, and social research.
