Overview - Associate Principal – Patient Centered Solutions, CNS Practice

IQVIA provides scientific services spanning clinical trials, real world evidence, and consulting in all areas of the product lifecycle.

This research is broad and includes qualitative (e.g. interviews, focus groups), quantitative (e.g. clinical outcome assessments (COAs)/patient-reported outcomes (PROS), preference research) and passive (e.g. digital health technology tools) approaches to understand patient, caregiver and healthcare professional experiences and expectations of disease and treatment.
