Industry remains a late adopter
Too few digital-visionaries at senior level
Low digital marketing spend 1- 5
But solid experience and realistic expectations
Moving slowly towards integrated solutions
10Targeting doctors
11A major challenge
Doctors prime information needs focus on new
research, clinical studies, case studies,
continuing medical educational, networking with
colleagues, cost constraints, running a surgery
as a business,
Doctors generally prefer authoritative sources -
medical societies, universities, hospitals
Doctors ambivalent towards pharma

21Healthcare social networking
22Web 2.0 is radically changing medicine and
healthcare
An expert moderated repository of the knowledge
base, in the form of a medical wiki, may be the
answer to the worlds inequalities of information
access in medicine

Doctors can now dictate the terms
of engagement to the pharma industry
The doctor-industry relationship
has the opportunity to become a true
partnership based on mutual respect and
collaboration

from one another
1/3 of consumers in USA consult a health SN
site before visiting a doctor UGC from
health mavens can profoundly influence
consumer and patient preferences

28Health warning to pharma marketeers Dont
fake it
29Paradigm shift
Consumers and patients are
taking ownership of brands, diseases and
conditions
The industry must decide whether
it wants to actively participate in the
conversations or remain an outsider
