New Medical Panels and Software Agreement for GMI
US online specialist GMI has launched new panels of physicians, nurses and chronically ill patients. It has also entered an agreement with Sawtooth Software to sell Sawtooth products in Asia and South America, and to share its online panel with Sawtooth. GMI has also made four new Director-level appointments.
Medical panels
The MedPerspective panel includes doctors from more than 35 specialist fields, while the CurePursuit patient panellists represent hundreds of types of chronic illnesses. The panels include representation from 200 countries in 35 languages. As an incentive for taking part, GMI offers access to a biomedical research and information tool as an alternative to cash payments.
Sawtooth Software agreement
Under the agreement with Sawtooth, GMI will use its global network to sell and offer technical support for Sawtooth's products throughout Asia Pacific and Latin America. It will also make samples from its global panels available to Sawtooth.
Christopher King, President of Sawtooth Software, says that, while Asia Pacific and Latin America offer great growth potential, his company has found it challenging to 'overcome the language, time zone, and cultural barriers'.
