Health Union’s enhanced research suite expands its core patient and caregiver offerings to fully incorporate HCP insights, optimize its unique access to proprietary data, and leverage its therapeutic expertise to deliver clear, strategic insights for healthcare and pharmaceutical partners.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Health Union, a leading digital health company, today announced the strategic expansion of its market research and insights solutions. Building on the company’s more than 10 years of experience delivering industry-leading custom research solutions for pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations, this announcement is anchored by a comprehensive, refreshed product suite, designed to provide partners with unparalleled depth of understanding into both patient and now—new for 2026—healthcare professional (HCP) experiences.
“Our unique advantage lies in the deep, authentic, and continuous understanding we have of the patient and HCP experience,” said Richard Vitali, Senior Vice President of Insights at Health Union. “Our innovative methods capture the emotional landscape and lived realities that traditional research often misses.
