Why AOPS exists
AOPS is a respondent-first, panel-agnostic healthcare data collection company built for a market in transition, where speed, compliance, and data integrity can no longer be trade-offs. We combine deep sampling expertise with AI-enhanced execution, ensuring clean, compliant, complete data, every time. It’s why we believe perfection is possible.
AOPS began in 2021 as a panel consultancy and became a full data collection company in 2024. The team behind it has been building healthcare panels and running healthcare fieldwork for a great deal longer than that.

Matt Walmsley, Partner, Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer
A strategist and operator with nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare market research. His career has spanned hands-on operational roles through to executive leadership, where he has been instrumental in bringing traditional methodologies into new, data-rich frameworks, always with a commitment to clarity and client-first solutions. What defines Matt’s approach is the human touch. Matt has built his career on empowering teams, creating tools that simplify complexity, and ensuring clients receive service and data they can trust. He believes in starting small, proving value, and building momentum, an approach that works as well in the field as it does in the boardroom. Outside of work he carries the same philosophy into coaching his daughters’ soccer and softball teams, and cheering on Chelsea with them at weekends. That philosophy drives his work at AOPS: building resilient systems, guiding teams through change, and empowering clients with data they can trust.
The Mission of AOPS
