Experienced Evolution
The landscape of engaging healthcare professionals, particularly doctors, has evolved significantly in response to pre and post-COVID dynamics. Before the pandemic, traditional methods such as print materials, physical interaction and meetings, and CME programs prevailed. However, COVID prompted a swift shift towards virtual platforms, including webinars and emailers as face to face interactions became restricted.

As the next phase emerges, pharma companies seek a balanced approach. Doctors, experiencing virtual program fatigue, are increasingly inclined toward hybrid models, combining physical and virtual engagement. This shift has prompted DAP E-nnovative Solutions to explore how its platforms and products can aid pharma companies in adapting to newer ways of engaging the HCPs, without affecting the budget allocations post-COVID.

“Our extensive experience collaborating with multiple pharmaceutical companies equips us with insights in understanding their unique digital standard operating procedures (SOPs. We understand that embarking on digital projects in the pharmaceutical sector involves working closely with various
departments, each with its own set of requirements and approvals. Our consultancy role is to streamline these processes, providing guidance to help clients secure internal approvals swiftly, which, in turn, accelerates project implementation and success”, shares Sylvia Hii.

We employ both automated and manual testing methods”, further shares Dr. Sampreeth Shivanna, Senior Director, Business Solutions.
