MedTech Expert is one of very few full-service research agencies that recruits, screens and interviews its own respondents. No third-party panel. No automated messages. You have direct access to the people who will interview and pay you.
Every honorarium, every study, every country. Miss it and we pay you $50 for each working day we’re late — automatically.
I’ve worked with Tim for 15 years. I get a lot of study requests but now only reply to his requests as I know the [survey] form won’t be longer than advertised and that he’ll pay me right away.
Germany · 26 studies since 2012
Payment arrived almost immediately after I finished the survey. There was a follow-up question by email which I was happy to answer. I’ve done these surveys for other companies and never received the honoraria.
United Kingdom · 2 studies
They only ask when it’s relevant. I get maybe two invitations a year and both times it’s been something I had a genuine opinion about.
USA · 4 studies since 2023
The majority of healthcare research is recruited through third-party panels, the agency runs the interview, nobody speaks to you again. We don’t work that way, and it changes what taking part feels like.
You’ll deal with the same small team each time — people who understand your specialty well enough to ask a second question, not read from a script.
Online survey that never exceeds the length advertised or a pre-scheduled call on Teams/Zoom
Across our industry it is normal for a doctor to wait 30 to 90 days for an honorarium (some Drs even report never being paid!). We want to restore trust in the market research industry — so we fixed our process by which respondents get paid.
If we miss it, we pay you $50 for every working day we’re late, up to $150.
Automatically. You will never have to ask for it, and you’ll never have to notice we were late in the first place.
That fee is our apology for the delay, not extra payment for your time. Your honorarium is set at fair market value for your specialty and the length of the session, and it does not change.
Our team will intercept delegates to conduct short surveys on anything from market trends, product perception, competitor intelligence to stand messaging recall/effectiveness
Your team will be able to attend or join by web link to observe qualitative interviews with pre-recruited physicians who match your criteria (high KOL recruitment success rate)

The Challenge:
➤ Our client’s volumetric infusion pump is operated day-to-day by nurses rather than the physicians who typically feature in PMCF programmes — and each pump is used across hundreds of patients and multiple clinical settings, from ICU to home care. Capturing meaningful safety and performance data meant reaching the true end users and reflecting genuine real-world variation in use
Our Solution:
➤ We recruited infusion nurses and clinical pharmacists across hospital and home-care settings, using a Level 4 case-record approach
+
➤ The final dataset spanned multiple care environments and infusion therapies, giving our client robust real-world evidence of safety and performance across the device’s full intended use — and surfacing usability insights their design team fed into the next product iteration
The Challenge:
➤ Our client faced a Notified Body deadline for PMCF data on their surgical stapler, but traditional online recruitment was progressing too slowly — the target users, colorectal surgeons with recent device experience, were proving unresponsive to standard survey invitations, and the study risked missing its submission window.
Our Solution:
➤ We took the fieldwork to the surgeons. Attending a major European colorectal surgery congress, our team screened and recruited eligible device users face-to-face on the exhibition floor, verifying usage experience on the spot.
+
➤ Surgeons then completed detailed case-record surveys via a follow-up online link. The hybrid approach compressed months of recruitment into a single conference
The Challenge:
➤ Our client needed to gather post-market clinical follow-up data for the 10F and 12F interactions of their atherectomy product.
+
➤ Since primary use of this product is with 6F and 8F, this posed a recruitment challenge to identify and then engage users of this niche product.
Our Solution:
➤ We leveraged our close network of Vascular Surgeons and Interventional Radiologists to provide referrals for known users of the niche 10F and 12F sizes
+
➤ 100 x Level 4 surveys completed — delivering the real-world clinical data our client needed to meet their MDR requirement.
The Challenge:
➤ Maintain methodological rigour in a study encompassing 108 qualitative interviews across 7 markets for a nebulization device
+
➤ Identify patterns in the data across stakeholders (nurses/physicians), work setting (ED vs Wards) and device usage
Our Solution:
➤ We deployed AI-assisted thematic coding to develop a structured codeframe, eliminating coder drift at scale
+
➤ Quantifying theme prevalence across stakeholder, setting and device usage gave statistical weight to our qualitative deep dive
The Challenge:
➤ From a small but targetted sample of Vascular Surgeons in USA + Europe, uncover the impact that a new stent design will have on product cannibalization vs market expansion
Our Solution:
To get the most out of small samples we employ our key principles of:
a) Direct respondent relationships (no outsourcing to fieldwork agencies)
b) One moderator to oversee the entire study from brief to report
The Challenge:
➤ Locate European Urologists who placer radiation spacers for prostate cancer (mainly the role of Radiation Oncologist)
+
➤ Respondent targets also had to be attending EAU conference to attend our in-depth prototype evaluation
Our Solution:
➤ AI tools helped us locate centers where Urologists are known placer of radiations spacers – the list was then cross referenced against the speakers list to create a targetted list of physicians
+
➤ The rest relied on our human touch to engage physicans and secure meetings during the conference
The Challenge:
➤ Achieve a total sample of 150 interviews with delegates who perform a minimum procedure volume of PCI
+
➤ Gather feedback from physicians attending our clients satellite symposium
Our Solution:
➤ With an experienced team of conference interviewers we studied the conference programme to locate the optimal locations to find qualifying physicians
+
➤ Relocated our team to the symposium exit to canvas physicians leaving
The Challenge:
➤ Gain access to the highest volume EVAR center in Germany to watch multiple complex EVAR cases live
+
➤ Hold de-brief sessions with the Vascular Surgeon to discuss the procedural workflow pain points
Our Solution:
➤ We leveraged our long-standing and close relationships with heads of department to arrange a site visit for our client
+
➤ Dealt with all regulatory and compliance matters to ensure our visit did not breach hospital protocol
