We further evaluated the perceived clinical utility and desirable features/attributes of respective imaging products before developing a feasible profile based on the client’s inputs.
  • Tested the ideal TPPs of both the imaging products through a survey for physicians, radiologists, nurses, technicians, and purchase managers in targeted geographies.
  • Forecasted the revenue for two products through a bottom-up patient-based model to determine the commercial opportunity.
  • Global opportunity attractiveness was done for parameters such as perceived need, revenue potential, and NPV (net present value).
