9. Low digital marketing spend 1- 5% Digital pharma status 06/07 Industry remains a late adopter But solid experience and realistic expectations Too few digital-visionaries at senior level Moving slowly towards integrated solutions

10. Targeting doctors

11. Doctors generally prefer authoritative sources - medical societies, universities, hospitals A major challenge Doctors ambivalent towards pharma 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,…

24. Multi-channel integration plus behavioural modelling Smarter systems through incorporation of constructs from behavioural models Identify a patient ’ s risk level and propose appropriate interventions

25. Healthcare social networking

26. ‘ An expert moderated repository of the knowledge base, in the form of a medical wiki, may be the answer to the world’s inequalities of information access in medicine …’* Web 2.0 is radically changing medicine and healthcare Dean Giustini, How web 2.0 is changing medicine, BMJ, 23 December 2006

27. ‘ Is pharma ready for social networking?’ ‘… it appears that the forces of change would come from the consumers’ ‘ Are social media dulling pharma’s marketing knife?’ ‘…it won’t be long before pharma realizes that it isn’t in control anymore…’ But pharma is still debating Source: www.forums.pharma-mkting.com

28. Web 2.0 is a disruptive technology Adapted from: Web 2.0 in Healthcare, John Sharp, Cleveland Clinic, USA Pharma values Web 2.0 values Risk averse Information from authoritative sources Privacy & security are regulated Long lead times Controlling access to data and information Intellectual property closely guarded Risk taking Crowd wisdom Anyone can join Rapid deployment Information contributed by and distributed to all Open Source

35. 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 Conversations are raging: patients are learning from one another www.revolutionhealth.com *Manhattan Research, 2007

37. Health warning to pharma marketeers Don’t fake it

38. Paradigm shift The industry must decide whether it wants to actively participate in the conversations or remain an outsider Consumers and patients are taking ownership of brands, diseases and conditions

40. Pharma corporate blogs are emerging J&J BTW blog J&J blogger Marc Monseau ‘ Everyone else is talking about our company, so why can’t we?’
