EPG Health Media

What EPG Health Media does

EPG Health Media is a UK-based digital medical education publisher founded in 2000 and operating as a subsidiary of IQVIA (NYSE: IQV). The company publishes Medthority, an independent medical education platform that provides accredited learning resources to healthcare professionals across all major therapeutic areas. The platform combines a core learning environment with a portfolio of content solutions including Learning Zones (bespoke self-directed therapeutic area environments), Congress Highlights (timely digests of medical conferences), Symposia (live scientific meetings at congresses), Roundtables & Webinars (virtual peer-to-peer events), Podcasts (audio educational content), and Insight Articles (concise written summaries).

The company's underlying technology is built around two proprietary methodologies: the Digital Needs Assessment (DNA), which uncovers unaddressed clinical learning needs among HCPs, and the Investigatory IME (IIME) approach, which structures active, intelligence-driven learning experiences. Educational content is delivered under a fully segregated business unit to maintain independence from commercial influence, with accreditation eligibility through multiple bodies including EBAC, ACCME, ANCC, and ACPE. The platform reports a global reach of 8.4 million verified HCPs and provides impact measurement tied to knowledge, confidence, and clinical practice outcomes.

EPG Health operates a B2B professional services model in which pharmaceutical and life science companies fund educational programs and EPG Health designs, produces, and distributes the content. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. HCPs access Medthority content at no cost. The company employs 51-100 people, is headquartered in Reading, UK, and sells primarily through an enterprise field sales motion targeting pharmaceutical supporters, supplemented by event-driven engagement at major medical congresses and on owned digital properties.
