USE CASE:

The change detection question for healthtech companies

What follows is the honest set of ways to get change detection on healthtech companies, including the ones that are not ours. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and Company Change-Event Feed is the one that reads healthtech companies.

Where this starts

Healthtech companies complicate change detection, for a reason specific to them. Healthtech companies sell into procurement cycles measured in quarters, not weeks, and change detection has to work around it. One thing change detection on healthtech companies rarely accounts for: a public website says nothing about which health systems actually bought, which is the only fact that matters. If you would rather try it than read about it, Company Change-Event Feed does change detection for healthtech companies today.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Definitive Healthcare, for healthtech companies. Provider and system data with real depth, priced for a team that sells nothing else.
  • Your CRM's field history. Salesforce tracks field changes and most people never look. It is free, it is already on, and it only knows about fields your own team edits.
  • A warehouse snapshot table. If you have a data team, an append only snapshot answers this permanently and costs almost nothing to store.
  • Keep last quarter's export. Export the fields you care about, keep the file, diff it against the next one. It works, and it takes ten minutes per quarter.

The method

  1. Start with one of healthtech companies you already know, so a wrong change detection answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run Company Change-Event Feed across your list of healthtech companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for change detection.
  3. Read ten rows of change detection on healthtech companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
