PAG mapping
Patient advocacy group mapping
Patient advocacy group mapping — also called PAG mapping or patient group mapping — is how pharmaceutical teams identify, organize, and prioritize the patient organizations that matter for a therapy, market, or engagement strategy. PatientGroups.co turns that process into a living intelligence layer instead of a one-time consulting deliverable.
What is patient advocacy group mapping?
PAG mapping is the structured process of finding patient advocacy groups, profiling what they do, and ranking who is relevant for partnership, advisory boards, trial recruitment support, policy engagement, or disease education.
Pharma patient engagement, medical affairs, and market access teams use patient group mapping to answer: Who represents patients in this indication? Where are they strongest? Who is ready to partner — and who already works with competitors?
Traditional mapping projects produce static slides. PatientGroups.co maps the same landscape with searchable profiles, geographic and therapeutic views, scored shortlists, and source audit trails your team can refresh.
How PatientGroups.co maps patient groups
Geographic PAG mapping
See which patient advocacy groups operate in your launch markets, affiliate countries, and priority regions — with coverage across 165+ nations.
Therapeutic area mapping
Map the PAG landscape for oncology, rare disease, immunology, cardiology, and 2,000+ condition domains so no relevant group is missed.
Relationship & ecosystem mapping
Understand how groups connect to industry, research networks, and peer organizations before you engage.
Partnership prioritization
Score and rank mapped groups on governance, patient reach, research activity, and pharma readiness — not just a static list.
Evidence-backed profiles
Every mapped field carries source URLs and confidence scores so medical affairs and compliance can trust the picture.
Living landscape, not a one-off slide
Re-run mapping as leadership, funding, and activity change — instead of commissioning a PDF that ages in weeks.
A practical PAG mapping workflow
- 01
Define scope
Set therapeutic areas, countries, and engagement goals. PatientGroups.co scopes the landscape to what your team actually needs.
- 02
Map the landscape

- 03
Score & shortlist
Apply multi-dimensional scoring to prioritize partners by reach, credibility, research capability, and readiness.
- 04
Act & monitor
Export intelligence for medical affairs and agency partners, then monitor the mapped portfolio as the landscape shifts.
