Pharmaceutical Marketing:

Pharmaceutical marketing is the practice of promoting and selling pharmaceutical products to healthcare providers, hospitals and consumers. It involves a variety of strategies and tactics aimed at increasing the adoption and use of a particular drug or medical device.

Pharmaceutical marketing strategies may include advertising in medical journals, sponsoring conferences and Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs, Direct-to-Consumer advertising (DTC) and sales representatives who promote drugs directly to healthcare providers. These tactics aim to increase awareness of a particular drug and its benefits, educate healthcare providers and patients about its uses and potential side effects and influence prescribing decisions.

Critics of pharmaceutical marketing argue that it can lead to over prescribing of drugs, higher healthcare costs and potential conflicts of interest between healthcare providers and drug manufacturers.

Sessions:

Session 01: Health Monitoring and Tracking Apps

Health monitoring and tracking apps are mobile applications that allow individuals to monitor and track various aspects of their health and wellness. These apps often use sensors built into smartphones or wearable devices to collect data on physical activity, sleep patterns, heart rate and other health metrics.

Session 02: Personalized Medicine

Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, is an approach to healthcare that utilizes information about an individual's genes, environment and lifestyle to tailor medical treatments and interventions. The goal of personalized medicine is to provide more effective and efficient treatments that are tailored to an individual's unique characteristics.

Session 03: Patient Portals

Patient portals are secure online platforms that allow patients to access their medical information, communicate with their healthcare providers and manage their healthcare needs. Patient portals are typically offered by healthcare providers, such as hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices and can be accessed through a website or mobile app.

Session 04: Virtual and Augmented Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are digital technologies that have the potential to transform the way healthcare is delivered and experienced. VR creates a completely immersive digital environment, while AR overlays digital content onto the real world.

Session 05: Block Chain

Block chain is a decentralized, digital ledger technology that enables secure and transparent sharing of data across a network of computers. In healthcare, block chain technology has the potential to transform the way health data is stored, managed and shared.

Session 06: Health Chabot’s

Health Chabot’s are AI-powered digital assistants that use natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to provide healthcare-related services through a conversational interface. These chatbots can help patients with basic medical queries, provide personalized health recommendations, triage symptoms and connect them with appropriate healthcare services.

Session 07: Digital Biomarkers

Digital biomarkers are physiological or behavioral measurements that are collected and analyzed using digital health technologies. These measurements can provide insights into an individual's health status, disease risk, or response to treatment.

Session 08: Digital Health Regulations and Ethics

Digital health technologies are transforming healthcare delivery, but they also raise concerns about privacy, security and ethics. As a result, it is essential to have regulations and ethical guidelines in place to protect patient data and ensure that digital health technologies are used ethically and responsibly.

Speaker Guidelines

Organize Your Research

1. State the hypothesis and purpose of your research.
2. Describe your methods of investigation.
3. Include data collected and what was learned.
4. Give conclusions based on the collected data.
5. Emphasize the significance and highlights of the research.

Shape Your Presentation

1. Prepare notes that highlight the salient points of your talk.
2. Practice the delivery of your talk, along with your slide sequence. Be sure your talk fits the time allotted.
3. Use simple sentences. Avoid jargon, highly specialized vocabulary, and unfamiliar abbreviations.
4. Think about questions you might be asked, and prepare your answers.
5. Audio-visuals should amplify your talk, not duplicate it.
6. Do not include music or film clips or other copyrighted content with your presentation unless it is directly relevant to your research. If you must include music, film clips, or similar content, please ensure that it is either open source or content for which you have copyright permissions to use. Optimally display your work—don't use words if a picture conveys it more clearly (graphs, tables, charts, etc.).
7. Use line graphs to show trends; bar graphs to compare magnitudes; pie graphs to demonstrate relative portions of a whole.
8. Make sure your supporting audio-visuals are concise, uncluttered, and easily read from a distance. We recommend that you use a font of at least eighteen points or larger. This is especially important in presentations to a virtual audience because screen sizes vary by user.
9. Request special AV equipment early or it may not be available.
