Targeting doctorsTargeting doctors

Doctors generally prefer authoritative sources - medical societies, universities, hospitals

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,…

‘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

‘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

UGC from health mavens can profoundly influence consumer and patient preferences

Conversations are raging: patients are learning from one another
