Diagnostic Lab Service Experience Survey
Understand how patients, caregivers, and corporate users evaluate lab access, compare testing options, choose collection channels, and navigate reporting experiences, so you can strengthen acquisition, refine pricing, improve retention, sharpen positioning, and optimise channel strategy.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most diagnostic labs don't lose patients purely on test accuracy. They underperform due to booking friction, unclear preparation, collection delays, report anxiety, and weak follow-up, none of which fully show up in complaint logs or star ratings.

Preventive Health Package Choice Drivers Across Urban India
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India diagnostics network needed to understand how young professionals , family health planners , and senior households compared preventive packages, weighed test breadth , price transparency, physician endorsement, and convenience before selecting between branded laboratories and neighbourhood providers.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured online survey with 720 recent purchasers across six cities, balancing age, household composition, and package value. The instrument captured choice triggers , price sensitivity , channel discovery, trust cues, comparison behaviour, and intended repeat purchase.
DELIVERED
We delivered a preference map by audience, a pricing corridor for package tiers, ranked message territories , and a channel lever matrix showing where doctor referrals, search, employer programmes, and neighbourhood visibility shaped consideration.
