What do we mean by user research for audience understanding?
When seeking to deepen audience understanding, we focus on discovery-based research in order to gain as much insight as possible.
Through user interviews, diary studies, surveys, data analysis, or reviewing existing research, our team of specialist clinical UX researchers will build an in-depth understanding of your patients, HCPs or customers in order to make informed decisions about the design of your digital products.
This type of research is often the first phase of your research process, providing a chance to frame problems and gather evidence to understand what to do next.
How will this type of research help you?
Conducting user research to build audience understanding will help you see your digital products and services through your users’ eyes.
You’ll gain a better understanding of their needs, wants, behaviours and pain points in the context of your problem-space, enabling you to create solutions that will resonate and improve engagement.
It will enable you to understand their priorities and give practical, actionable recommendations to take forward into the design and development phases to deliver better experiences.
The plethora of insight gained can be shared across your teams to inform your wider messaging and digital product strategy.
