GMO Research Launches infoQ Japan Doctor Panel in Partnership with MedPeer
 
Tokyo – April 28, 2010 – GMO Internet Group company GMO Research has partnered with medical industry Internet services company MedPeer, Inc. to launch the specialist medical panel, “infoQ Japan Doctor Panel”.
 
GMO Research clients can now access our general consumer “infoQ Japan Network Panel” and specialized doctor panel “info Q Japan Doctor Panel” (launched April 26), from our Internet research online administration screen, jissa.jp. 
 
infoQ Japan Doctor Panel
The GMO Research infoQ Japan Doctor Panel enables clients to survey members of MedPeer one of the largest exclusive doctor community websites in Japan. Leveraging GMO Research’s panel management experience and expertise, the infoQ Japan Doctor Panel offers the same expert operation and high quality samples as our general consumer panel. With a panel that consists exclusively of doctors it is possible to collect large samples from the medical community.
 
Panel management – 100% Verified All-Doctor Panel for the Highest Quality Samples
The infoQ Japan Doctor Panel is composed of MedPeer members. MedPeer confirms the medical qualifications of all member applications against the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare database of physicians and sends membership ID and passwords to the hospital at which doctor is employed to confirm place of employment. Members also update their own profile information once a year. This means our clients are able to collect accurate, high quality samples by managing questions and specifying detailed attributes.  
 
An all-in solution from finding panel members to collecting completed surveys
Our clients can use the GMO Research client portal, jissa.jp to recruit and select panel members and collect completed surveys. Surveys can be conducted using both the general consumer “infoQ Japan Network Panel” and the “infoQ Japan Doctor Panel”.
MedPeer                                            
Opened in September 2007, MedPeer is a medical community website operated by doctors for doctors. As well as sharing opinions in online forums members can also network with other doctors through the website’s social networking service (SNS).
