The new global digital health paradigm in life sciences
Digital transformation has long been a priority for all life science companies and it has been made even more pressing by the current health emergency caused by COVID-19.
As all healthcare stakeholders adapt to the coronavirus pandemic’s digital-first reality, digital health offers many ways to develop public utility projects and enhance healthcare communications.
This pharmaphorum webinar*, held in association with Healthware, took place on Wednesday 29 April from 14:00 to 15:00 (BST)/15:00 to 16:00 (CET) and addressed the deep transformation of marketing, customer engagement and adaptation of business processes in the new global paradigm of digital health.
Our expert panel focused on the key issues life science companies face, including:
- Managing product launches in the new scenario
- Accelerating multichannel marketing and digitising scientific events
- Managing field forces at a time of reduced access to doctors
- Developing value-added services for HCPs both in the immediate post-emergency phase and in the medium term
- Planning for corporate digital transformation to adapt to the new reality
