- Overview
Even as healthcare policy reform debates continue, seismic shifts in how life sciences companies interact with consumers have begun occurring. Patients are more involved in their own care path than ever before, relying on direct to consumer advertising, the Internet and social media for answers long before they ever see a physician. Traditional medical technology and life science products seem to be converging with consumer electronics, IT, and telecommunications devices that consumers already own. Medical devices are now expected to connect to smartphones and home wireless hubs, while drug companies provide smartphone apps and intelligent pill bottles to their patients to help improve patient medication adherence.
What do these changes mean for life sciences companies? How should products be marketed when marketing is becoming interactive? Are patients able to make risk-informed decisions? What are the regulatory challenges and are the regulators adapting quickly enough? How should companies adapt to a paradigm in which consumers have more influence and control over the products used in their care? Keynote speakers and panelists will explore these questions and engage participants in a wide-ranging discussion of where these trends could lead.- Agenda
