Black Book asked 650 healthcare consumers about their thoughts on health providers’ engagement abilities. Then, the survey asked the consumers to read a one-sentence description of the company or its product and score them from one to 10, with 10 being the best, across four categories:
- Does it have an immediate demand from them as an active consumer
- Would it drive an improvement in their health status, choices or delivery in the next six months
- Is it innovative or disruptive for the healthcare industry
- Does it have immediate value to them
Here are the 20 companies that scored an average of nine out of 10 across the four categories, listed in alphabetical order:
