Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences
Our work in Lifesciences helps bring data driven scientific research and medical communications to the ecosystem, reduce costs of marketing and build omni-channel services
This is a significant sector in the vast HLS continuum and our work focuses on the micro-verticals that require a combination of domain knowledge and technology skills. In the Pharmaceutical commercial space these include, Pharma communications – medico-marketing and analytics [Digital events and conferences, HCP portals of pharma companies, Apps/websites for sales force learning and medical-sciences information publishing], Pharmacy management and Pharma e-tailing, Biosciences (biochemistry) products and Competitive (drug, research data) intelligence services.
Like the rest of the market, these sectors are also under pressure to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Firms aim to achieve this via online tech solutions that reduce cost of administration, management and last mile services delivery. There has been significant adoption of digital tools and platforms by incumbents for a decade now. Further, new specialized software products, digital natives and hybrid services companies have emerged in this space offering solutions (ex. usage and content analytics services).
Afore-mentioned micro-verticals gain from digital tools and platforms and the move to incorporate AI.
Challenges and opportunities In the Pharma Industry
Steep rise in drug delivery costs
Cost of delivery of drugs to the market makes for a constant challenge in keeping costs down. Commercial processes, market data and research as well as CME services need to be more measurable. Moreover, a number of compliance regulations must be met too.
Streamlining commercial processes and eliminating Inefficiencies
Inefficient systems and management reporting processes have plagued the pharma industry since its very inception. Digital solutions tailored for automation, security and accuracy can reduce inefficiencies and improve decision making.
Intelligence driven information services
Intelligent analytics is crucial to better business performance. Businesses can both increase their customer base and improve their impact to their patients simply with better capture, data quality and interpretation of information.
Innovation led collaboration services with the ecosystem
The future of the industry lies in innovation and closer collaboration with providers, payors, and patients in the delivery of affordable drugs. With the continuous entrenchment of technology and the gradual move to digital offerings there is even better potential to enhance outreach, widen education and gather granular data than ever before. This is best achieved through innovative and consultative approaches aligned to the medical community.
Micro-verticals in focus
Digital technologies to enhance HCP engagement and business efficiencies
Pharma Communications and Information Services
Pharmaceutical companies invest in services that provide education, product (drug) and therapeutic-area scientific information to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs), patients, and providers. The service is non-promotional and must be trusted, be of high quality (accurate) and be useful to HCPs. Educating through clinical trials data and economic data analysis helps companies improve results and guide correct dosage.
Increasing outsourcing of healthcare communications, rise of automation and use of digital channels and digitization methods requires a technology partner who understands the many complexities of the privacy, personalization and compliances challenges involved, so as to tailor the applications and services appropriately in meeting sensitive demands of the industry.
Pharma companies seeking to improve and enhance their content management and omnichannel marketing with life sciences digital content, optimize campaigns with better data analytics and offer better user experience can gain from our capabilities and experience in this space.
Conventions and Conferences (MediEvents Technology)
Conventions and Conferences (MediEvents Technology)
Large enterprises use third parties to provide education and learning events services. We provide the technologies and digital solutions for such outsourced events and conferences, to the industry.
Digital services and solutions for virtual and in-person interactive events and managed offerings related to the learning programs, deployed in the pre, during and post event period have matured and become strategic tools. These tools are effective in smooth delivery of services, in improving operations and in bettering experience for participating professionals. We have built these tools using LCNC platforms, plugins and API integrations to third party platforms.
Analytics for Market Intelligence (CI) and Research Literature Monitoring
Analytics for Market Intelligence (CI) and Research Literature Monitoring
CI data about the market is a specialized space that covers niche areas of pharma retailing, regulatory compliance and (targeted) research information monitoring and dissemination to practitioners (doctors and specialists). The space is being disrupted by new AI software and mobile applications that provide direct data capture via feeds, published insights, abridged communications and personalized interactions.
Our skills in developing mobile apps, and analytics solutions for omni-channel digital data processing (versus purely multi-channel) are well adopted by our industry clients.
