New Research Highlights Role Search Plays in Online Health
Manhattan Research recently released a new report that highlights the role that search plays in online healthcare.
Some interesting highlights:
- Consumers who visit product sites are nearly three times more likely than the average US adult to request prescriptions by name from their doctors.
- When consumers use search engines for pharmaceutical or health information online, they are most likely to search by the name of a specific condition/disease or the name of a specific product.
- The most common situation for which they use a search engine for this purpose is when they have symptoms for a condition.
