Swoop understands the importance of securing personal patient data, which is why privacy by design is embedded into our company architecture. As the first and only health data company to be a member of the NAI, Swoop meets all privacy demands in compliance with regulation and has undergone a full legal audit; we are also the only consumer healthcare data company with our own Privacy Board.

Unlike generic, off-the-shelf audiences, custom segments can be used to deploy highly relevant and resonate marketing campaigns that drive increased conversion, leading to higher script lift.

Can Swoop further segment my patient audience?

How are HCPs targeted?

HCPs can be targeted based on target list, specialty, payer data, formulary access, diagnostics and lab data, diagnosing and prescribing behavior (historic and weekly), J-Code, CPT, affiliations and more. We can layer HCP preferences such as content, channel and message in order to further personalize digital engagement.

How are HCPs activated?

Swoop offers the only DSP-agnostic HCP programmatic solution with physician level detail (PLD) reporting in addition to its managed services. Marketers can engage HCPs based on individual media, message and content preferences (display, video and contextual) and incorporate time-sensitive triggers using diagnosis and prescribing behavior.

We can also engage HCPs through social media (including key opinion leaders and influencers), point-of-care targeting (outreach on personal devices at 50,000+ locations such as pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, urgent care, outpatient and private practice), congresses and meetings targeting (reach NPI-verified HCPs attending live medical congresses), with television planning and activation across addressable TV and connected TV/OTT, through email outreach with next best action and EHR targeting (integrated into 200+ EHR systems).

Does Swoop help identify HCP engagement preferences?

Yes, our proprietary data platform identifies target HCPs’ channel of choice, what type of message or call to action they’re most responsive to, as well as their content consumption patterns. Using this intelligence, Swoop helps our clients drive strategy, activate HCPs where and when they’re most likely to engage and measure strategic audience reach, frequency and engagement across channels.

What are typical client results?

In one instance, we delivered a 158:1 ROI and 120 new brand starts; we routinely help our clients achieve double-digit script lift, leading to millions of dollars in incremental patient lifetime value within months. By reaching targeted prescribers, brands can expect >3x the expected unique user sessions and page views per visit vs. traditional search and native.

How can I get ahead of my competition?

Our platform allows you to uncover the top practice locations where up to two specific ICD-10 codes have been logged at the highest volume over the last 12-months, as well as the top practices where your competitive brand scripts have been written at the highest deciles.

Swoop also allows you to score and target the most influential HCP influencers to serve as brand ambassadors using a proprietary system of insight driven by ML/AI and fueled by RWD. Client NPI or specialty lists are used as a baseline with HCP behavior analyzed according to five primary influential attributes including Social Influencers (i.e., Twitter footprint, digital body language and performance), Referral Influencers (i.e., HCP influence upstream from the prescribing NPI), Patient Influencers (i.e., number of patients treated and referred), Practice Influencers (i.e., primary and specialty care activities and key events) and Activity Influencers(i.e., Sunshine Act activities and attribution). Those who are deemed non-influential are removed from the list and replaced with other lookalike influencers.
