Pharmaceutical Insights in Seconds with AlphaSense

Whether you are looking for critical insights to help you better understand the market, track clinical trials, or spot your next big investment in the pharma space, AlphaSense can help you make the right business decisions with confidence and speed.

Improve Your Decision Making With Actionable Pharma Insights

For those in the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining a competitive edge requires staying on top of regulatory activities, FDA drug approvals, drug development and clinical trials, and any potentially market-moving events. But regulatory sites like ClinicalTrials.gov are notoriously tedious and time-consuming to navigate, and in today’s age of information overload, finding the right insights becomes a herculean task.

Rather than relying on historical datasets and manually searching for information from fragmented sources, pharma professionals are turning to all-in-one market intelligence platforms, like AlphaSense, that have the capability of aggregating thousands of high-quality content sources.

With the AlphaSense platform, you can access exclusive content only found elsewhere in disparate locations and often locked behind expensive paywalls. This content includes:

  • Healthcare news, industry reports, company reports, clinical trial updates and regulatory content from sources such as PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, World Health Organization, MedlinePlus, and FDA
  • Over 1,500 research providers including Wall Street Insights®, a premier analyst research collection for corporate professionals
  • Expert call transcript library with over 200,000 vetted interviews (including with competitors, suppliers, doctors, and KOLs)

Furthermore, the AlphaSense platform streamlines, accelerates, and simplifies your research process with advanced AI search technology. Gone are the days of manually parsing through high volumes of data, attempting to separate useful signals from the noise, and invariably leaving yourself susceptible to missed information or research blind spots.

With AI, you can quickly identify trends and patterns that would be impossible to detect using manual processes alone, thereby exponentially increasing the ROI of your research.

AlphaSense helps you quickly uncover precise insights on your competitors, drugmakers, the pharma industry, and the market at large — so that you can immediately incorporate them into your competitive strategy, R&D investment, and commercialization goals.

These features and more are why G2 has consistently rated AlphaSense a leader in market intelligence for corporations and financial institutions alike.
