Our mission is to provide Medical Affairs teams with the best MSL insights software to transform insights into action

Our Story

 

It all started…

In 2015, we discovered that MSL teams didn’t have an easy way to showcase their most valuable asset: medical insights. We learned that MSLs and Medical Directors were struggling in spreadsheets or CRMs optimized for Sales. Insights collected by MSLs are often the only way an organization can see around the corner and improve outcomes for customers and patients. Medical Affairs deserve an insights tool to easily analyze what insights mean! One that also saves time, makes them more efficient, and demonstrates the value of MSL teams. Medical Affairs shouldn’t struggle to understand what insights mean or share them with their organization. Kernel was started to meet this unmet need.

We are dedicated to providing MSL teams with the best medical insights software. Our team now has world-class engineers working to bring Medical Affairs teams the latest technology to make analyzing insights and sharing with stakeholders easy. Over 50 MSL teams spread across 30 countries are now using Kernel to transform insights into action.
