Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) are the most influential experts or advisors who have earned reputation
in their field and relied on, to provide assessment of efficacy and safety of a drug or device. Medical
Device companies leverage KOLs contribution at various stages of the device life cycle, starting from
discovery and R&D to marketing and end user outreach. A collaborative relationship with influential
KOLs’ who influence their opinion as speakers, authors and researchers is often a cornerstone of a
marketing strategy to build credibility and acceptance within the medical community.
