InfoMedics to Present at 2nd Annual Digital Pharma Conference on Bringing Patient Feedback into the Web 2.0 World
Michael Ball, PhD, presents online tools for raising medication profiles and building brand loyalty in both patients and physicians
READING, MA – For more than a decade, InfoMedics, Inc. has led the way in designing and implementing patient feedback programs that help build pharmaceutical brand loyalty through improving patient-physician communications.
On Oct.15, Michael Ball, PhD, vice president, marketing and product management for InfoMedics, will bring that expertise to bear in presenting "Web 2.0 Solutions that Support the Patient's Journey," at the 2nd Annual Digital Pharma event, running Oct. 14-16 at the Weston Princeton, NJ. To view the full agenda for the conference, as well as information on how to attend, please visit www.exlpharma.com.
"By understanding the patient journey and capitalizing on the unique advantages of patient feedback programs, the pharmaceutical industry can amplify the value of Web 2.0 programs to two of its critical stakeholders: patients and physicians," explains Ball. "These programs are a perfect fit for online patient-physician communication offerings, as their structured content avoids common Web 2.0 pitfalls, while physicians receive messages directly from the audience that matters most to them: their own patients. Although the pharma industry has been somewhat constrained as patients and physicians explore online channels, there are meaningful ways to connect with both these constituents online."
Topics addressed in this presentation will include:
- The inherent power of patient feedback programs
- By focusing on what patients are asking for and adding meaningful patient support initiatives, powerful solutions can be provided that offer patients a unique connection to a pharma brand
- Attendees will learn how to deliver interactive programs for patients that avoid the frustrations of unconstrained dialogue and allow the patients, doctors and Pharma to build new trust, value and brand loyalty.
