During the course of 2013 Boehringer Ingelheim explored the use of multi-way communication on Twitter, via Tweetchats, as a means to better understand disease area issues and directly connect with key healthcare stakeholders. In this exclusive white paper, its corporate social media team share their views on how Tweetchats can drive pharma innovation.

In 2013, Boehringer Ingelheim took its first steps into the world of Tweetchats, running these 'online Twitter conferences' in a number of disease areas, including atrial fibrillation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and lung cancer.
