Patient planning needs
to happen earlier.
We help lean biotech teams know where to focus first.
“You highlighted patient issues and made them actionable...
which saved us precious time."
— Executive Director, Rare Disease
WHO WE HELP
We work with lean biotech teams at two critical moments.
EARLY DEVELOPMENT
You're entering a disease area and need to understand what patients actually experience before key decisions get made.
PRE-COMMERCIAL
You know patient strategy matters for launch. You’re not hiring patient expertise yet, but you need that expertise now.
WHO WE ARE
Patient planning in biotech is happening too late.
Melissa Williams started Simply Patient to change that.
Tap into Melissa's 20 years of biopharma patient expertise (across insight generation, clinical trials, marketing, market access, and financial forecasting) and a network of patient experts with an average of 15 years experience in biopharma.
Simply Patient teams have lived through how early decisions shaped what was possible for patients at launch, so you can connect the dots others miss.
Good for patients. Good for business.
"Melissa collaborated on patient strategy during what was to become
the most successful drug launch in Roche's history."
— Brian Lepak, Director, Insights & Strategy
"Melissa’s ability to drive towards clarity in ambiguous situations
is one of her greatest strengths."
— Shivan Peiris, Executive Director, Patient Access Experience
WHAT WE DO
We inject patient expertise to expand what's possible for patients at launch
EARLY DEVELOPMENT
Simply Patient helps you build your understanding of the patient population and what patient work to prioritize early.
So you start from a solid foundation instead of fixing expensive assumptions later.
Sample projects:
Patient community landscape
Patient org partnership strategy

So you can maximize patient uptake at launch.
Sample projects:
Patient launch roadmap
Cross-functional alignment workshops
Coaching patient-centric execution
