HealthTracker is owned and operated by Synovate.  We  are a market research company based in Auckland, founded in 1992 as Research Solutions Ltd.

 

We conduct market research in a very wide range of industries, and pride ourselves on the quality, ethical standards and integrity of our work -which has led to our winning more market research effectiveness awards than any other company in New Zealand.

 

We are active in the industry promoting quality work, respect for respondents and a better use of market research to develop services and products that are better for all involved.

 

HealthTracker was created in order to provide General Practitioners with an advertising-free website through which they can access useful links and news, as well as participating in online discussion forums and having their say about relevant issues through online surveys.

 

By providing this free website we provide GPs with a platform to have their say in an environment which is not just commercial-free and anonymous, but where the results are made available to key decision makers in both the public and private sectors.

 

The value of these GP insights is recognised by the payments we usually make to all GPs who participate in a given survey.

 

We provide the aggregated results of our research (stripped of any personal identification information) to our clients, and in addition, certain survey findings are published on our website so that respondents can be among the first to find out the concerns and interests of their medical colleagues.

 

Our commitment to the survey respondents is to keep the website confidential, worthwhile, and easy to use.  HealthTracker and Research Solutions abide by the principles set out by the Market Research Society of New Zealand Code of Practice regarding the collection, use, and retention of data.
