The life sciences industry has established digital innovation as a business priority. Companies recognize that patient outcomes are enabled by digital innovation, which is why truly patient-centric companies are assessing how to move their organization along the digital maturity continuum.
Digital innovation runs the gamut, from marketing tactics (e.g., apps, websites, digital communities) to relationships with providers/healthcare systems (e.g., EHR); from co-marketing opportunities with digital modalities to non-traditional relationships. And, of course, there is the creation of entirely new products.
In this interactive session, a multi-disciplinary group of experts will provide you with an overview of how the industry is addressing the digital health revolution, why patient engagement must be at the center of the life sciences value chain, and how internal Regulatory Affairs professionals can position themselves as a high value partner to the business during this time of change.
Trends and case studies will be shared from a newly launched book, Managing Biotechnology: From Science to Market in the Digital Age, published by Wiley, which covers the new role of infotech in healthcare and shows how to capitalize on digital technologies, from R&D to market launch.
Another significant issue is establishing dedicated mechanisms for the identification, collection and submission of patient experience data as a component of both the drug approval process and fulfillment of post-approval Phase IV studies. This will require engaging the collective input of all potential stakeholders- pharmaceutical and medical device companies, patient support and advocacy groups, and others in developing new drug development models.
