Why MedTech teams choose AcuityMD over IQVIA

AI that keeps up with your business

AcuityAI's recommendations, auto-generated call plans, audio briefs, and trip planner are all in reps' hands today.

More accurate data drives better decisions

Our platform is built on closed commercial claims from 150+ payers. Other platforms rely on incomplete open claims that miss procedures and overcount duplicates.

A platform built for MedTech

AcuityMD doesn’t split focus across pharma, clinical trials, and MedTech; everything is built around how MedTech commercial teams actually sell.

Grow your business on one platform

Built-in Pipeline, Quoting, and Contracts functionality helps you scale efficiently without adding to your tech stack as you grow.

Unified platform pricing

A single platform fee covers all procedure codes and all sites of care, with no separate charge every time your strategy evolves.

Built for the field

Full mobile functionality means reps can prep for a call, log a visit, and listen to an AI audio brief without opening a laptop.

Customer story: From static IQVIA data to real-time visibility

A leading global orthobiologics company found that static, spreadsheet-based data from IQVIA was creating costly blind spots. They discovered IQVIA's infrequent updates couldn't keep pace with critical changes in their territories, including HCP turnover, causing them to miss key opportunities.

They switched to AcuityMD to get a real-time view of their market.

What makes AcuityMD different from IQVIA for MedTech companies?

AcuityMD is a ready-to-use platform built specifically for MedTech commercial workflows. IQVIA’s MedTech Market Activator is one module inside a much larger life-sciences data business, built primarily around data delivery rather than sales execution.

How does pricing work compared to IQVIA?

AcuityMD includes all data in one platform fee, with no separate charges for data changes or additions. IQVIA prices data feeds and modifications separately.

Can I use my existing IQVIA data with AcuityMD?

Yes, through AcuityMD’s Bring Your Own Data functionality, you can blend your IQVIA data with AcuityMD’s closed claims and platform capabilities (customers are responsible for ensuring compliance with IQVIA’s terms of service when bringing data into the AcuityMD platform).
