ABACULUS staff have not only appealing personalities but are also experts and give authentic answers to client needs. This is done partially by concluding the research and partially beforehand, when they have a good understanding of the client’s problem, by helping to formulate very specific questions.
After the research, we got support from them on how to use the results to make the medication communication strategies and wording of the messages more effective.
