The need to connect and find support, especially across chronic disease communities, has led to an increasing number of patients and caregivers/care partners turning to social media. These disease-specific communities can provide a rich source of patient voice data.

In this case study, an industry-community partnership created evidence from real-world conversations and filled gaps in the medical and scientific understanding of diseases. This in turn informed medical product development and approval while giving back to the patient communities they serve. Some of the benefits of this approach include the following:

  • Understand the patient and caregiver/care partner's experience throughout the patient journey in their own words
  • Use a listening-first approach to strengthen activities across the continuum of drug development
  • Include patients and advocacy organizations as co-authors in your publication planning
  • Build a case for patient-centered care and regulatory approvals
Speaker:

Millennials will soon make up the majority of today’s medical field. They are more virtually connected than any generation before them. To engage with the next generation of HCPs, it is crucial to adapt your content to their learning styles.

  • Recognize how the next generation of HCPs prefer to learn
  • Explore alternative methods to deliver information by utilizing the latest technology
  • Establish new partnerships with the legal and regulatory teams to facilitate the quick approval of innovative materials

Panelists:

With the healthcare marketplace accelerating across all phases, there is an ever-present need for efficient and accurate dissemination of medical information to both HCPs and patients. Thus far, the industry has been slow to pivot, leaving medical affairs teams with limited resources and budget to accommodate the increased volume of inquiries received through the product lifecycle. As new product launches and indications continue to rise, new tools must be integrated to ensure optimal customer experience and positive patient outcomes.

Conversational AI can assist your team by:

  • Reducing cost center costs by alleviating live chat, messaging, med info, CRM, quality and safety services, adjusting with fluctuating inquiry volume across the product lifecycle
  • Automating adverse event and product quality detection with seamless data collection and reporting
  • Providing always-on support to improve customer service, defining exception and escalation points based on needs and resource constraints
  • Extend services to previously low access HCPs
Speaker:

With the endless amount of vendors and flashy gadgets available, how can you find the best tools that will deliver the best value for your team?

  • Determine your data capabilities and requirements
  • Identify your unmet data demands and compare them to the operational tools that are currently available
  • Simplify difficult decisions by updating technology priorities and selection criteria

  • Understand where your focus should be to drive diversity of thought leadership across engagement lifecycle planning
Speaker:

Day One Concludes

Speaker:

  • Pinpoint the most important digital publication trends
  • Recognize preferred 'watering holes' for clinicians, policymakers, and patients
  • Build new 'watering holes' through properly siloed medical affairs, medical information, and omnichannel releases
  • Rely on the best metrics and KPIs to determine reader engagement
Speaker:

Cross-functional collaboration may seem like a daunting task, but it proves many benefits. When started early, it produces development and launch opportunities, boosts efficiency, and can even provide an improved customer experience.

Compliance is a major consideration among Medical Affairs professionals when it comes to developing scientific resources and how they are utilized in the field. Guidance is constantly evolving regarding what types of materials can be used reactively, vs proactively, and how they are approved. This session focused on innovative ideas and potential strategies for compliant scientific exchange

  • Overview of scientific resources that are traditionally used in the field and compliance considerations
  • Discuss out-of-the box opportunities for medical affairs to bring value to HCPs through compliant resources
  • Increase the visibility and reach of congress presentations and publications
  • Learn how to collaborate with marketing and other internal stakeholders to create compliant materials or engage with virtual activities to meet goals
Speaker:

The blending of real and virtual life is shaping the future of healthcare and Millennials, who are virtually more connected than any other generation before them, will soon make up the majority of today’s medical field. Therefore, there is a need to integrate digital activities into an overall Medical Affairs strategy to achieve objectives.

  • Medical Affairs Strategy –Developing an overall product or disease strategy and then determining how digital and omnichannel approaches can be leveraged to enhance traditional activities is critical as we evolve how we engage. Especially as healthcare is becoming more dispersed into the community and MSL engagements do not usually go to the smaller practices
  • The growing demand for data and analytics
  • Creating a plan of action to implement medical and digital strategy, collaboration amongst a range of internal and external stakeholders, the need for flexibility and speed, and a plan for monitoring and evaluating success
