Problem Statement
A leading pharmaceutical company specializing in cystic fibrosis treatments sought to identify and understand the network of influential digital opinion leaders (DOLs) in the UK.
The client aimed to:
-
Pinpoint individuals with a strong online presence and domain expertise in cystic fibrosis.
-
Analyze digital discussions, opinions, and advocacy trends.
-
Leverage insights from these influencers to strengthen their communication, research alignment, and patient engagement strategies.
They needed a reliable, data-driven approach to assess influence, credibility, and reach within the digital cystic fibrosis community.
Our Methodology
DelveInsight applied a structured, analytics-driven methodology to capture, validate, and interpret digital activity across the cystic fibrosis ecosystem.
1. Data Collection and Integration Used a combination of proprietary databases, social media listening tools, and advanced web scraping techniques to gather information from platforms such as Twitter (X), LinkedIn, patient forums, blogs, and digital health publications.
2. Data Structuring and Organization Aggregated and cleaned the collected data, creating a unified dataset for further qualitative and quantitative analysis.
3. Content and Sentiment Analysis Applied Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to classify content based on sentiment, theme, and relevance. Key messages were mapped to identify trending topics such as new therapies, patient support discussions, and clinical innovation in cystic fibrosis.
4. Validation and Quality Assurance Implemented strict verification processes to ensure the credibility and authenticity of the identified DOLs and their associated digital content.
5. Visualization and Reporting Compiled the results into an interactive, data-rich report with visual dashboards, sentiment maps, and network graphs to clearly depict influence patterns and engagement trends.
