Results and Impact To promote SAVSNET data as a valuable tool for commercial companies to better understand their product use. We call this "Pharmasee". Income generated from such SAVSNET-based market intelligence is used for sustainability. The presentation pitch to companies was entirely based on the market research carried out as part of this BBSRC award.
To date, two companies have commissioned work, and a second is discussing working with us.
