Kantar Health is a global healthcare consulting and research firm, specializing in consumer insights including patient, consumer and physician insights. It is part of Kantar Group, the research, insight and consulting arm of WPP, one of the largest marketing and communications companies in the world, by revenue. The agency works with pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device and diagnostic companies.
Kantar Health was established in 2009, one of four dedicated vertical sector operating units created as part of a restructuring of Kantar Group following the acquisition of TNS in 2008. It combined the TNS Healthcare, Ziment Group, Consumer Health Sciences and MattsonJack Group businesses to create a healthcare research, insight and consulting specialist to sit alongside Kantar Media, Kantar Retail and Kantar Worldpanel. The company was initially called Kantar Healthcare, but by September 2009 the name had been dropped in favor of Kantar Health.
HCI (ACNielsen HCI), a research organization focused on healthcare promotions, moved to Kantar Health in 2010 after acquisition by WPP in 2008.
In 2014 Kantar Health acquired Evidências (Focus Assistência Médica S/S Ltda. and Classe Assistência Médica S/S Ltda.), a healthcare research company based in Brazil. Evidências specializes in “Evidence-based, health management services” and operates in all segments of the Brazilian healthcare market, including health insurers, government bodies, hospitals and providers, and pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. It was one of three Brazilian agencies acquired by WPP in as many weeks.
In 2015 Kantar Health acquired CEEOR, a research and consulting company in the Czech Republic. CEEOR specializes in analytical services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare industries, largely focusing on developing late phase research, such as Phase IV therapeutic use studies. These employ CEEOR's proprietary electronic data capture software, ELQE.
