PANEL: HCP CX Best Practices - What's Working? What's Not?
Some would argue that the provider is the most important customer in the pharma space. Responsible for the final decision on brand selection, the HCP is certainly crucial to the process. Therefore, when providers interact with your brand...what are they experiencing? How do they feel about the brand before-during-after the interaction? This panel explores specific examples of HCP experience.
• Discuss the importance of the HCP experience in 2023
• How does HCP experience relate to your product / market / therapy / patient population? Why does that matter (or not)?
• Share an example of how an HCP experience has affected your market
• Share an example of how data, analytics and technology play a role when considering the HCP experience.

Experience as a Medicine: Engineering the Extraordinary

Organizations that focus on consumer, patient, HCP, and employee experiences will continue to innovate, adapt, improve outcomes, and drive efficiencies. A more specific and innovative focus on experiences in pharma is putting a spotlight on the industry and propelling us from fast follower to forerunner.

PANEL: Innovations in Media Strategy and Planning
Media, specifically digital media, is one of the key driver of CX. It has reach, its easily accessed, and can be modified more quickly than traditional tactics. What role does media strategy play in the overall customer experience? How can brands harness its power to deliver results for both CX and the bottom line? This panel explores these ideas with real-world examples from the media space.
• How can media affect customer experiences
• Share specific examples of how media improved (or detracted) from CX...? Or how an approach to media was altered to accommodate CX. What happened?
• Media is ever-evolving. What are some media platforms that still remain useful despite being in-market for many years? What new things are exciting on the media front?

Panel: DTx + CX
Customer experience can generally be defined as 'how a customer feels when they interact with you brand'. This description is usually reserved for areas such as marketing, digital touch points and support services. However, technology is impacting the actual treatment of disease, with practical tech-enabled solutions. In this panel, three innovators will share their perspective on how technology is impacting the patient & provider in the areas of diagnosis, treatment and maintenance of chronic health conditions.
• With a focus on your therapeutic area, discuss the importance of “experience” during the operational aspects of disease management.
• What are some of the barriers or challenges that tech-enabled therapies face?
• In a broad sense, what have been the positive outcomes of collaborations between healthcare & technology?
• What does the future hold: In 1 year? 5 years? 50 years?
