We are delighted to announce our latest partnership with IQM Advertising Corporation. As leaders in AI-driven diagnostic and genomic data for smarter HCP marketing, we're teaming up with this media buying platform.

This exciting new collaboration is set to empower advertisers working in the most regulated verticals. What it means is that they'll have the tools to enhance their data to make better ad-buying decisions. Together, we are unlocking a first-of-its-kind capability. Real-time activation of diagnostic-informed HCP audiences across IQM’s intelligent media infrastructure.

Our partnership will challenge the status quo of healthcare marketing. It will usurp outdated claims data, fragmented insights, and rigid compliance models. By fusing our clinically validated diagnostic signals with IQM’s proprietary, AI-powered audience engine, we are delivering a new frontier in precision HCP marketing. That is: faster, smarter, and built for pharmaceutical-grade compliance.

 

“IQM’s infrastructure is built from the ground up to solve the toughest targeting and compliance challenges in healthcare. When you layer in real-time diagnostic triggers, signals grounded in patient testing and treatment decisions, you move from broad targeting to precision at the point of care. That’s where behavior changes, and that’s where therapy adoption accelerates.”

– Scott Phillips, VP, Real World Data at Diaceutics

The integration makes our extensive catalog of pre-built, diagnostically driven audience segments available within IQM’s platform. These include chronic conditions such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Biomarker-specific oncology pathways (e.g., EGFR, HER2, PD-L1)
  • And even hard-to-reach rare disease populations

These advanced segments allow HCP marketing campaigns to trigger in real-time. Our data is based on diagnostic or lab events rather than months-old claims data. Notably, marketers will be able to engage HCPs in the moment of clinical relevance. That is, when treatment decisions are being made. From this, they can identify hidden treaters actively managing patients invisible to traditional targeting models.

 

“The speed from claims data to activation is one of the strongest indicators of intent. Now that we have access to lab data, we can identify when a physician orders a lab for a patient. This allows us to engage the HCP proactively, even before a diagnosis is made or a prescription is written.”

– Tony Sherry, GM Healthcare Lead at IQM.

 

Ultimately, this integration optimizes campaigns with AI-driven precision, without sacrificing regulatory rigor. This is a first-ever for the industry at large. Together, we are turning real-time diagnostic insights into actionable intelligence. Driving HCP marketing that moves as fast as medicine itself.

 

“IQM was built to solve the hardest problems in healthcare advertising – precision, compliance, and speed. Partnering with Diaceutics takes that mission even further. We can now combine real-time clinical intelligence with our robust infrastructure. This will give pharma and healthcare marketers a first-ever ability to act on clinically dynamic data at programmatic speed with pharmaceutical-grade compliance.”

– Kris Qiu, CEO of IQM.

Our partnership underscores that the next era of healthcare marketing is here. And that era will be driven by intelligence, adaptability, and responsibly precise data.

What is the Diaceutics and IQM partnership?

Diaceutics and IQM Advertising Corporation are combining Diaceutics' AI-driven diagnostic and genomic data with IQM's media buying platform. It is the first time diagnostic-informed HCP audiences can be activated in real time across IQM's media infrastructure. The partnership is built for advertisers in highly regulated verticals.

How can advertisers use diagnostic data for real-time HCP targeting?

Diaceutics' pre-built, diagnostically driven audience segments are now available within IQM's platform. Campaigns can trigger in real time off diagnostic or lab events, not months-old claims data. Marketers can engage HCPs when treatment decisions are being made.

What audience segments are available through Diaceutics and IQM?

The catalog includes chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It also includes biomarker-specific oncology pathways (e.g. EGFR, HER2, PD-L1) and hard-to-reach rare disease populations.

How does lab data help marketers reach HCPs earlier?

Lab data shows when a physician orders a lab for a patient. That lets marketers engage the HCP proactively, even before a diagnosis is made or a prescription is written. As IQM's Tony Sherry says, the speed from claims data to activation is one of the strongest indicators of intent.

How does the partnership address compliance in healthcare advertising?

IQM's infrastructure is built to solve the toughest targeting and compliance challenges in healthcare. By pairing it with clinically validated diagnostic signals, the partnership delivers AI-driven precision with pharmaceutical-grade compliance. Regulatory rigor is not sacrificed for speed.

How can marketers find hidden treaters with diagnostic-informed audiences?
Diagnostic and lab-based signals show which HCPs are actively managing patients who are invisible to traditional targeting models. Those HCPs can then be reached through IQM's platform. Claims data alone would miss them.
