If you are curious about the latest digital trends and how that innovation is being implemented into real world communication needs, don't miss this webinar. 

We review current trends and how digital technology and innovation are being applied to patient, healthcare professional, payer, and other decision maker communications. 

With a world population of 7.6 billion people using over 21 billion internet connected devices, digital interactions are not only fundamental, they require continued evolution to maintain appropriate reach and responsiveness.   

You’ll gain insights from our collection of case studies, and learn how companies are applying the latest digital trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI),  including voice enablement and chatbots, wearables, point of care electronic health record messaging, social media, transportation, do-it-yourself healthcare, and more.

Applying the latest Digital Trends to Patient, Provider and Payer Communications

The new European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) represent some of the most wide-ranging and disruptive changes to recently affect the world’s second-largest medical technology market. Now, with just a two- to four-year transition period before full compliance is required in 2020 for MDR and 2022 for IVDR, device developers will need to implement changes to help new and existing products succeed.

This webinar discusses:

- The key changes that are occurring under the new regulations
- How to prioritize your product portfolio
- The importance of early planning in preparing clinical studies to certify new devices and to recertify existing ones
- How early transition can give your products an advantage in the market

Overcoming New EU MDR & IVDR Regulation Challenges

Risk based monitoring has been emerging for years. The 2017 release of ICH E6 R2 introduced the world of technology to a 20-year-old guideline with increased focus on delivering quality and efficiencies in clinical trials. This webinar explores the evolution of centralised, risk based monitoring, specifically addressing the impact on sites, examining the growing pains, and fostering dialogue and awareness between CROs, sponsors and sites.

Topics covered include:

- Advancing our quest for quality management to continually improve the way we monitor clinical trials by placing emphasis on what really matters
- Focusing on data and processes that are critical to patient safety and data integrity, putting the patient first 
- Leveraging technologies that enhance a quality-driven perspective and discussing what all of this means for the industry

Using the Inventory of Depressive Symptoms Scales (IDS-C and IDS-SR) in Clinical

The shift towards a value-based, patient-centric approach to health care continues to increase the need to measure the impact of biopharma products and devices in a real world setting. It’s now more important than ever for sponsors to understand how Real World Evidence (RWE) can play a role in developing a product’s value story across the development continuum.

Payment models and federal reforms are increasingly focused on the real world impact of treatments and devices. Regulatory bodies are looking to real world evidence to close the gap between how a product performed in clinical trials and how a product performs in the clinical setting on a broader patient population. As the capture and connectivity of health records and data continue to move towards digitization, the ability to assess and analyse these data increases in ease and efficiency.

Innovative late phase research approaches are benefitting from this move towards digitization, at the same time as more regulatory guidance is released in both the US and EU around the use of RWE to support and enhance submissions and product uptake. Combined, these two activities are making a high impact on the importance of assessing and realizing a real world evidence product strategy.

The increased interest in RWE not only lies with regulatory bodies, however, it also stands to make a large impact on how payers may cover a product based on the real world value it brings to the patient and the market. Understanding what evidence will best support a product’s value story is paramount for sponsors to ensure payers can make an informed decision about the product’s impact in a real world setting.

Real World Evidence Across the Product Lifecycle: Regulatory and Payer Landscape

In these days of austerity, a new healthcare intervention, defined as a drug, medical device, procedure, program, or service, must establish a robust and credible value proposition before or soon after its introduction into mainstream practice. Various healthcare stakeholders have different requirements for and definitions of value. Satisfying their demands is paramount to an intervention’s success and results in more favourable pathways to rapid adoption and market access.

Join us as we discuss an approach to evidence-generation strategies in drug and medical device development that enables integrated teams to develop and implement targeted and effective value propositions.

Linking Evidence and Value Strategies with the Right Stakeholder

Launching a new drug often requires a compromise between the manufacturer and payer’s objectives and priorities. While ensuring patient access to new drugs is an objective for both parties, payers also need to make certain that new therapies comply with budgetary constraints and that any associated risks of uncertainty are minimised. In this context, contracting represents mutually valuable agreements that address the needs of both the manufacturer and the payer.

Traditional contracting agreements have focused purely on price negotiations. These simple agreements such as, price discounting/rebates, caps and free goods, in themselves are not novel; however, their combination or inclusion in the context of a more complex agreement can be considered in the design of innovative contracting agreements.

When designing a contract, the aim is to find a cohesive solution that meets the needs of the payer while still achieving manufacturer objectives. Sometimes, “traditional” contracting is not sufficient to achieve this compromise, necessitating the adoption of more advanced, and sometimes complex, innovative contracting agreements.

Outcomes-Based Agreements and Innovative Contracting for Biopharmaceuticals

The demand from regulators and payers for health economic models is increasing, as these key decision makers struggle to manage budget constraints and provide access to new therapies.

Health economic models are required to demonstrate product value and support reimbursement submissions; however, early economic models can also be used to inform clinical development decisions, develop HEOR and real world evidence (RWE) generation planning and support early pricing and market access discussions.

Open access journals are scholarly publications, available across the internet. They are freely accessible, with no subscription costs. From 2012 to 2017, the number of open access journals increased from 4,034 to 9,405. [1]

While open access journals bring clear cost and accessibility advantages, it is important for authors to be able to accurately assess the quality and reputation of any potential publisher.

What are predatory publishers?
Predatory publishers are profiteering individuals or companies, who use the open access publishing model to take advantage of and exploit authors, by charging them article processing fees without providing the high quality editorial services associated with legitimate journals [2]. The term “predatory publisher” was first coined by Jeffrey Beall, who tracked them on his Scholarly Open Access blog from 2012 until January 2017.
