DIPEx

The DIPEx Charity is a prominent UK-based healthcare organization that specializes in the collection and analysis of personal health experiences to improve patient care and medical education. Operating in partnership with the Health Experiences Research Group at the University of Oxford, the charity maintains the Database of Individual Patient Experiences (DIPEx), a rigorous qualitative research resource. These insights are disseminated through the healthtalk.org and youthhealthtalk.org platforms, providing reliable information for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. For the life sciences and biotech sectors, DIPEx offers critical qualitative data that informs patient-reported outcomes (PROs), clinical trial design, and patient engagement strategies. The organization also leads DIPEx International, a global network of researchers applying this standardized methodology across more than 14 countries.
