Challenges in KOL identification

It is difficult to find appropriate experts because classifying knowledge and queries are often done manually. By locating subject matter experts and key opinion leaders to involve in research studies and clinical trials, DISQOVER improves finding experts based on expertise built-up in study or work. Moreover, the process of identifying suitable experts is often time-consuming. Experts can be identified by manually reading publications and social media posts for keywords or by searching for experts in databases. This process is time-consuming and error-prone.
A touch of DISQOVER
By overcoming the problems with available data used to locate experts, DISQOVER shortens identification time to find high-quality matching experts in specific domains.
