Deep Dive: Patient Engagement
Patient engagement has moved from a lofty goal to a tangible part of most pharma companies’ businesses – but there are still many untapped areas where the industry can harness this transformative concept.
In this issue of Deep Dive we look at several new avenues for using patient engagement to make a meaningful difference, and highlight some key success stories from the last few years.
