Paragon's customer research solutions

The Benefits of Customer Research

Decades of experience and thousands of customer interviews have taught us that applying customer research drives more innovative and less risky outcomes. Customer insights are at the core of all great digital solutions – and when applied correctly can help you deliver more meaningful experiences.

  • Understand your customer’s opinions, emotions, and behaviors
  • Discover unmet needs and customer pain points
  • Find your competitive advantage and opportunities for differentiation
  • Predict purchase intent, inform product development, and identify new business opportunities

Paragon’s research revealed clear opportunities for us to improve our patients’ experience when seeking primary care providers, and better engage consumers in the process – leading to a more confident and less stressful experience.
