The diagram below illustrates how our brains work and how our subconscious minds drive behavior and decision-making.
Only psychology-based research uncovers the underlying personality of respondents that is critical to understanding not only what is being said, but more importantly, why and within what context.
Understanding the personality (which rarely changes in an individual throughout his or her life) allows for a much deeper understanding of what is needed and how to fulfill those needs. Emotions are superficial and transient, and research that is not scientifically based can lead to misguided marketing campaigns. Once you understand the psychological makeup of a target market, you can craft messages or define strategies to a much more effective level.

The Segmedica Difference: With its extensive panels and in-house recruitment center, Segmedica is equipped to field projects, even for the most hard-to-reach respondents, quickly and cost effectively.
Segmedica is the leader in developing methods for applying psychology to market research. There is a fundamental difference between emotional and psychological research.
The diagram below illustrates how our brains work and how our subconscious minds drive behavior and decision-making.

New research by Segmedica uses our Patient Adherence and Health Engagement segmentation to investigate sentiment and behaviors in two areas of behavioral influence – macrotrends, such as climate change, and retail healthcare delivery.
Market segmentation is a staple project for all businesses and Segmedica is very expert in the art. As well as the classical attitudinal/behavioral segmentations, we offer advanced techniques proven to add insight and actionability without adding cost or time while eliminating risk of failure…
We are what we eat but are we how we shop? The intersection between behavioral science and behavioral change is a crucial crossroad. Much has been written about genetics, culture, and family in shaping dietary habits. Little has been said about personality, the most fundamental driver of behavior. In fact, personality shapes worldview, unconscious behavioral drivers, and the behaviors themselves…
If you are concerned about the health and wellness of the African American community and how to encourage engagement with healthcare and with wellness behaviors, this short webinar is for you.

They have been around since 1926. They were adopted by the US military. One helped bring Apollo 13 home. Even Marxists have used them. Focus groups – they have been a staple for as long as any of us can remember. But do we use them appropriately, and can they be turbocharged?
North American and European companies tend to employ Anglo-European-Centric thinking and language to develop positioning and then “test” it as widely as they can afford. Often this testing is constructed on the basis of selecting a preferred message. In this session, we argue for an approach which builds local positioning and messaging within a global concept which will optimally connect with each cultural market.
How will ongoing COVID-19 concerns impact your business? Different psychological groups of consumers behave differently under COVID-19. Join us in this short webinar for a review of brand-new US research showing these differences as well as how you can use this information to sharpen marketing tactics.
Health and wellness stretch across many industry verticals from pharma to alternative therapies, from nutrition to telepsychiatry, from massage studios to retail pharmacies. While we all think in terms of different industries with different characteristics and needs, consumers do not think like that at all. They think of their lives as a whole. They think of prescription drugs and surgeries as being on a continuum with healthy eating and taking supplements…
Receiving and absorbing a message or concept is a process of learning. The mission of a message is to be understood and committed to long-term memory so it is recalled when purchase or usage decisions are being made and influences choices.
Understanding the impacts of personality and physiology on how professionals and consumers absorb, categorize, and retain messages is essential to interpreting research results…
Can’t you understand plain English?!
Actually, many people cannot. For 28% of the US population, English is not a first language. Globally for 85% of people, English is not their first language…
Groundbreaking research from Segmedica demonstrates how personality impacts healthy or unhealthy eating choices and how to turn this knowledge into more effective marketing and communication.
Whether you are a food manufacturer, or a provider of health services concerned with better and less costly outcomes, this webinar contains…
The first duty of a message is to create a lasting memory. No matter how impactful the message is at delivery, without creating a recallable memory, it isn’t effective.
This isn’t just a matter of simple repetition; the old adage that it takes nine repetitions to create a lasting impression has no science behind it.
Memory…
Market segmentation projects are costly and can be risky. In this webinar, we will review the reasons why segmentations can go wrong and alternative approaches to ensure success.
It is time to recognize that COVID-19 is not going to go away. A vaccine is not a magic bullet. From the time a polio vaccine was introduced, it took 24 years to eradicate polio in the US. The emotional scars, economic damage, clinical consequences, and fearfulness will be with us for a long time to come. Consumer behaviors are changing rapidly as…
Go beyond conventional interrogational techniques and learn what to look for in an advanced qualitative design. Examples include:
It’s hard to believe, but instant segmentation does work. Based on personality types, they provide a fundamental view of how consumers make purchase and use decisions in the consumer packaged goods and food and beverage markets.
Prediabetes is the largest disease-based market in the US. This presentation will provide new information about Prediabetes and the untapped market opportunities it presents for your industry.
Different personality types have very different beliefs and behaviors in selecting food, beverage, and support products. These different personality types also make very different choices even during a major crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Some see food as fuel for their lifestyles while others see food as medicine and a potential protector…
One size never fits all. Different groups need different marketing approaches.
It raises the question, should we always approach market segmentation the same way? We think not.
This is something for everyone who needs to think more deeply about their market.

They will include:
Consumers are continually re-thinking their approach to “healthy eating”. While some see food as fuel for their lifestyles, others see food as medicine and a potential protector of their health for dangers like COVID-19. Join us in this webinar to see our latest update on healthy eating in the age of COVID-19.

This presentation challenges us to think about the way we do research today and with focus on market segmentation.
Basing segmentation on “Rational and Emotional Drivers” and “Attitudes” doesn’t reflect how the brain works and doesn’t provide us with valid and useful tools to produce an actionable…
Culture is a set of beliefs, standards and norms held by groups who share a common language, art forms, traditions and geographic origins.

The average American consumes four times the maximum amount of added sugar in foods and beverages recommended by the WHO and two and half times the daily recommended consumption from the FDA.
We predict an increasing consumer focus on added sugar and assume that the CDC and professional and disease associations will emerge as leaders in promoting…

While the US healthcare system is in political limbo the health and wellness consumer is moving forward, demanding more information and access to services.
The retail industry – specifically grocery, pharmacy and big box stores – is reacting to this opportunity with onsite clinics, dietitians, classes and other services.
