Analysis of opportunities to better meet the needs of physicians and consumers online
Recommendations for industry based on lessons learned from physicians' and consumers' experiences with eHealth applications and services
Research and analysis highlights
Physicians are primarily using the Internet to access educational resources and high quality information. Pharmaceutical companies that provide online resources that help physicians practice medicine more efficiently and effectively will attract return site users and foster brand loyalty.
It is important to identify how often consumers access the Internet. Marketing initiatives can be developed to accommodate varying levels of usage. For example, tools such as risk-assessment surveys or dosing calendars, and disease and product information can be offered in a printable format so frequent Internet access is not necessary.
A promising trend towards gaining voice among prescribers is to reach them online, though not through Internet-enabled mobile technologies but instead through their home computer. One-half of physicians in the US and the EU and one-third of physicians in Japan access the Internet for work-related purposes from home at least 50% of the time.
