"Treato Pharma continues to evolve as the go-to-platform for bringing the patient voice into the pharma boardroom - along with meaningful intelligence and predictive capabilities that can significantly impact product and market strategy," said Ido Hadari, CEO of Treato, "Now pharmaceutical executives can get an unmediated 'big picture' view of the patient insights that matter most for driving better, faster and more effective decisions to meet specific business goals."
Increasingly, pharmaceutical companies are turning to the online social space as a means for learning about the needs and wants of patients. According to a 2012 social media report by PwC's Health Research Institute, 42% of consumers have used social media to access health-related information, including consumer reviews of treatments, with another 25% posting about their own health experience. The study goes on to suggest that companies can benefit from integrating the insights that are available about their products and services through social media into their business strategies. The PwC study was based on a survey of 1060 US adults.
Treato Pharma leverages Treato's deep expertise in Natural Language Processing, extensive medical ontologies and big data analytics infrastructure to translate massive amounts of unstructured user-generated content (UGC) by patients and caregivers into meaningful brand insights. These are delivered via data visualization tools like drillable infographics, charts and graphs that can be immediately and easily understood.
In April Treato raised $14.5 million in an investment round led by OrbiMed Israel Partners, and New Leaf Venture Partners, and including existing investors Reed Elsevier Ventures and Western Technology Investments. The investment will help expedite the company's US expansion and ongoing development of its offering.
