Episode 7 - Business Insights: Sensible First Steps for Small and Emerging Biopharma Organizations

As life sciences companies continue to prioritize new, omnichannel-centric commercial and customer engagement models, the ability for small and emerging biopharma organizations (EBPs) to be nimble and agile (relative to larger pharma companies) presents a potential advantage.

Beyond Static Reports – Dynamic Dashboards for Patient-Level Insights

In the past, patient-level insights were achieved through time-consuming methods requiring substantial manual effort to produce static reports. With the help of technology and machine learning, that’s no longer the case. Dynamic reports and dashboards can provide faster answers to questions that go beyond the original report, while also allowing team members to ask their own questions. With dynamic reports, team members can share information freely without the manual drag of pulling data or static reports and performing manual queries to get what they need.  Join Andy Burch and Brian Smith, two thought leaders with a breadth of experience in AI-ML solutions, as they dive into the benefits of bringing automated data into dynamic visualization products and how they can help you develop deeper insights, faster, while improving team engagement.  Brian and Andy outline several ways dynamic reports are superior to static reports, even helping to foster a data-driven culture. Knowing at your organisation who is asking the questions about your brand performance, patient profiles, or key physicians in your market, when are they asking the questions, how up to date does the data need to be? All this can feed into a highly customised dynamic delivery rather than only being able to ask questions once in a static delivery model.
