We love to work with the media to surface data on what healthcare professionals say online.

“Research has shown the inescapable influence of social media and the need for a coordinated governmental response to combat fake health news.It’s also shown that doctors and other medical professionals are pioneers and well ahead of governments and health bodies in the fight against medical misinformation, including around COVID-19.”

Creation’s technology helps companies to establish who their DOLs are.”
