NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Real Chemistry today provided an update on its business performance during the first half of 2022. The company achieved first half 2022 global revenue of more than $270 million, growth of over 21% compared to the prior year. Real Chemistry is on track to achieve 20% organic growth for the full year compared to 2021.

“Our first half 2022 results are a direct outcome of our bold commitment to address the rapidly evolving digitization of health care and reflect our continued investment in AI and ideas – two essential ingredients needed to improve health care experiences,” said Shankar Narayanan, CEO of Real Chemistry. “Our teams have unmatched health care expertise and are the best in the business. Using our proprietary, industry-leading suite of AI-powered analytics, they can uncover unique insights that drive breakthrough creative and targeted solutions for clients, helping them reach the right patients and providers at the right time with the right message.

Continued Investment in Data and AI

In April, Real Chemistry acquired conversationHEALTH, a SaaS platform that utilizes medically-trained natural language processing and contextual AI to create virtual experiences for virtual sales forces, virtual medical affairs, scientific communications, commercial field operations and patient support. ConversationHEALTH supports pharmaceutical brands in 170 installations around the world, transforming the way the pharmaceutical industry engages with physicians, patients and consumers. Bringing conversational intelligence together with Real Chemistry’s complimentary technologies, proprietary data and services enables greater accessibility, improved responsiveness and better outcomes across the health care continuum.
