After decades of research and experience, we know that an early adoption strategy is key to making this happen.

Bringing an innovation to the market is hard, especially in healthcare.

Typical launch and marketing strategies simply aren’t enough. You need a commercialization plan that starts long before your launch and ends long after. This might sound daunting, but we have an evidence-based framework and actionable guide to help you develop your winning strategy.

Market Success

The COIQ™ System was created by Dr. Roxie Mooney, the author of the international bestseller, How Health Innovators Maximize Market Success: Strategies to Launch and Commercialize Healthcare Innovations.

While writing her doctoral dissertation, she came across an unsettling statistic: 95% of innovations never see the light of day. Since then, she’s dedicated her career to making sure that innovators have the right strategies to be among the 5% who beat the odds.

Most innovators spend their time and money developing what they believe is the perfect product. Her research, however, proves that to be successful, you need to start with developing an early adoption strategy.

Let us tell you why an early adoption strategy is so important.

Commercialization is the most critical and costly stage of the innovation process, yet it’s often the least well-managed stage.

Commercialization

Success with the mainstream market ultimately depends on your success with the early market. If you're not successful with them, you will not be successful over the long-term.

mainstream

The adoption characteristics of the early market are very different from the mainstream market. Your success strongly depends on your knowledge and understanding of the characteristics, needs, and buying intentions of early adopters.

The strategic and tactical decisions involved in the commercialization process are deeply connected in ways that often go unnoticed and the effects of these decisions heavily shape and influence market success.

Before you make substantial investments in strategies that set you on a course for market failure, get entangled in the pitfalls of commercializing a healthcare innovation, get stuck in pilot purgatory, burn through your funding, or miss your window of opportunity, invest your time and money in building your early adoption strategy.

This is how Stacie ensured her connected nebulizer truly serves the market.

We started with an early adoption strategy that allowed her to get hyper-targeted insights from the key players in her market.

This paved the way for a co-creation strategy to test and iterate an early prototype of the nebulizer. She worked with the tiny patients she’s helping to breathe easier, as well as the pediatric teams who care for them.
