Are healthcare professionals verified?
A team of real humans reviews every single healthcare professional in Creation Pinpoint, and tags them as verified along with other tags to help categorise them by areas such as role, specialty, or country.
When verifying healthcare professionals, we look at who they claim to be in their social media profiles, what they talk about, and whether their peers appear to trust them as professionals. If somebody appears credible as a healthcare professional, we include them.

How does Creation Pinpoint compare with other leading social media monitoring tools like Brandwatch, Radian6, Attensity or SM2?
Creation Pinpoint is built on Brandwatch, one of the world’s leading social media monitoring tools. It has access to all the data and live feeds that Brandwatch has spent years refining, and is supported by all of Brandwatch’s technical wizardry.
What makes Creation Pinpoint different from mainstream social media monitoring tools is the Pinpoint Engine, a proprietary, ever-growing database of healthcare professionals all around the world, manually reviewed and verified by our team. The Pinpoint Engine integrates with Brandwatch to provide a completely unique view of social media conversations taking place exclusively between healthcare professionals.
Should I be concerned about reportable adverse events such as side-effect mentions?
Monitoring social media for pharma brands can be challenging because of the possible number of reportable adverse events that may be discovered among conversations between patients or consumers. With Creation Pinpoint, however, only conversations between healthcare professionals are monitored and it is therefore highly unlikely that reportable adverse events will be discovered.
Whilst healthcare professionals do discuss patient cases, clinical and practice matters in public social media environments, we have never seen a healthcare professional mention a patient by name nor would we expect to.
If you are concerned about adverse event monitoring or have any other questions about this, please do contact us.
What social media channels does Creation Pinpoint monitor?
Creation Pinpoint covers all public social media channels, blogs, forums and news sites that are included in Brandwatch, which is integrated with Creation Pinpoint. Brandwatch is able to crawl Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Tumblr and all other major public networks, and indexes all text content (blog, forums, etc.) as well as images and videos using their descriptions.

Yes, Creation Pinpoint is underpinned by Brandwatch and uses the Twitter Firehose to gain instant access to the whole of Twitter.
