Patients Map

Introduction to Patients Map:

"Patients Map" is a database which uncovers the number of patients treated by little over 11,000 physicians in 122 disease conditions. This study was conducted via online in collaboration with So-net M3, the largest portal site for healthcare professionals in Japan with approximate 146,000 online physician members.
"Patients Map" can be used as a tool for estimating patient numbers for various diseases across, not only different specialties, but also by hospital size and regions. It can help you in analyzing the potential of a new drug and also with targeting the appropriate specialties in terms of market research and/or for promotional purposes.

Some results:

Out of all 122 disease types, "diabetes" was treated by the highest number of physicians (65% of all physicians), followed by "hypertension (61%)" and "constipation (59%)".

When looked at according to specialties, most general internal medicine specialists were treating diabetes (94%), "hypertension (91%)" and "dyslipidemia (87%)".
Surgeons on the other hand were commonly treating "gastric cancer (78%)", "colon cancer (77%)" and "constipation (71%). (In the past month)

Out of all 122 disease types, physicians were seeing the highest number of hypertension patients a month with 54.9 patients, followed by dyslipidemia with 34.0 patients and diabetes with 30.2 patients (average of all respondents including 0 (zero) patients if not seeing).

Companies with the highest sales force coverage (sales rep visits) overall were "Astellas" "Daiichi-Sankyo" and "Pfizer". For diabetologists/endocrinologists, the top companies were "Novo Nordisk" "Takeda" and "Daiichi-Sankyo".
