infoQ Japan Doctor Panel

The GMO Research infoQ Japan Doctor Panel enables clients to survey members of MedPeer one of the largest exclusive doctor community websites in Japan.

With a panel that consists exclusively of doctors it is possible to collect large samples from the medical community.

Panel management - 100% Verified All-Doctor Panel for the Highest Quality Samples

The infoQ Japan Doctor Panel is composed of MedPeer members. MedPeer confirms the medical qualifications of all member applications against the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare database of physicians and sends membership ID and passwords to the hospital at which doctor is employed to confirm place of employment. Members also update their own profile information once a year. This means our clients are able to collect accurate, high quality samples by managing questions and specifying detailed attributes.

An all-in solution from finding panel members to collecting completed surveys

Our clients can use the GMO Research client portal, jissa.jp to recruit and select panel members and collect completed surveys. Surveys can be conducted using both the general consumer "infoQ Japan Network Panel" and the "infoQ Japan Doctor Panel"
