Digital patient engagement finalists revealed
Finalists for Pharma Awards Europe 2024 have been announced for ‘Most Valuable Digital Patient Engagement’, sponsored by Sciensus.
With many amazing examples of innovation and wonderful work across the industry, our panel of expert judges had to decide which entrants have advanced patient outreach and engagement through digital approaches, post-launch. Finalists needed to demonstrate meeting a strong patient need, with their project or initiative being managed to an outstanding level, making a quantifiable, positive impact on patients.
“The awards acknowledge and support the achievements of industry leaders who are driving positive change in healthcare, and we’re proud to support that. We value digital innovation, excellence in service and patient-centricity, and see clear alignment,” says Richard Blyth, Chief Marketing and Product Officer at category sponsor Sciensus.
“We believe digital innovation enables greater patient insights, helping us understand their experience of treatment, its effectiveness and their overall quality of life as they persist with medicines. Those insights can be used to enhance their treatment and achieve better health outcomes for patients," says Blyth.
