8. Healthcare Consumer
Segmentation
• Demographic, Socioeconomic, Health Condition Segmentation: Grouping
people by gender, age, ethnicity, income, education, geography and other
physical or situational characteristics
• Behavioral Segmentation: Grouping people by their behavior (e.g., healthcare
utilization behaviors tracked by a medical claims database, shopping behaviors
tracked by a retailer’s loyalty card database)
• Psychographic Segmentation: Grouping people by shared values, principles,
beliefs, emotions, personality, interests and lifestyle
– Advantages – More effective in resonating with a consumer’s
motivations and unarticulated needs

12. There are Five c2b solutions Psychographic
Segments (Shown as a percent of the U.S. Population)
13. Self Achievers
Self Achievers are the most proactive when
it comes to their wellness, investing what is
necessary toward their health and
appearance.
Self Achievers may actually have health
issues, but they stay on top of them with
regular medical check-ups, health
screenings, and research.
Self Achievers are task oriented, and will
tackle a challenge if they are given
measurable goals.
14. Balance Seekers
Balance Seekers are generally proactive in
their health and are wellness-oriented.
Balance Seekers are open to many ideas,
sources of information, and treatment options
when it comes to their healthcare.
However, Balance Seekers themselves – not
healthcare professionals -- define what
success looks like in their health. Physicians
and other healthcare professionals are useful
resources, but not the only resources, for
leading a healthy life.
15. Priority Jugglers
Priority Jugglers are very busy with
many responsibilities. Because of all
these responsibilities, Priority
Jugglers may not take the time to
invest in their own wellbeing and are
reactive when it comes to health
issues.
However, Priority Jugglers are very
proactive when it comes to their
family’s health and will make sure their
loved ones receive the care they need.
16. Direction Takers
Direction Takers believe their physician is the
most credible resource for their healthcare needs.
Direction Takers like to “cut to the chase” and
look to their physician and other healthcare
professionals for direction and guidance because
of their expertise and credentials.
Direction Takers are more likely to go to the
doctor at the first sign of health concerns.
However, Direction Takers may not always
follow a physician’s advice – not because they
disagree with his/her recommendations, but
because it is often difficult to work these
recommendations into their routine.
17. Willful Endurers
Willful Endurers live in the “here and
now” and believe there are more
important things to focus on than
improving their health for the future.
Willful Endurers are not necessarily
unhealthy, but they do what they like,
when they like, and are less likely to
change their habits. They are self-
reliant and can withstand anything life
throws at them, going to the doctor only
when they absolutely must.

Doing what I ask of you
Each psychographic segment is unique in its
motivations and communications preferences
20. “The pilot program demonstrated that the consumer-segmentation strategy
improved goal attainment, which is how health coaches measure success. It also
improved satisfaction for both participants and coaches.”
Recognizing the Need for Consumer Understanding
“Psychographic segmentation represents an opportunity to take
behavior influence ‘secrets’ of the consumer industry and apply
them to population health.”
“We, as health care providers, are used to working with patients in
ways that are comfortable for us… We all want to do the right thing,
but to provide patient-centered care we need to make an effort to
understand what motivates patients.”
“Psychographics Are Just as Important for Marketers as
Demographics… Until recently, however, it was a lot harder to get
psychographics than demographics, and even if you had psychographic
data, it wasn’t always obvious how to make it actionable”.
22. One-on-One Engagement
Ongoing Results
• 83% of participants progressed against their goals
• Diabetes population +90% change in mean goals
completed.
• Qualitative feedback from the health coaches:
• "The team has found using the psychographic
insights ‘energizing,’ and they have found
themselves listening closer to what the
patients say, looking for clues.”
• “They confirmed that the segment-specific key
words from the segment ‘code book’ are
popping up among the respective segments.”
• “The psychographic insights are significantly
reducing time to form a bond with the patients
and engage in meaningful coaching.”
