Patient-driven health ecosystem for the pharmaceutical industry

The current situation puts a bright light on the digitalization deficiencies of our health system. As the fight against COVID-19 continues, health organizations must find new ways of working. Unprecedented speed in putting digital capabilities and an agile mindset in place is now required to adapt efficiently and deliver valuable solutions – not only for the actual crisis. Zühlke takes a leading role in contributing to these solutions, being it by developing a COVID-19 tracing app or generally speaking by encouraging and enabling the usage of the latest digital technologies in the pharmaceutical industry.

Digital Technologies
can help you to

1. Accelerate clinical trials

Only 5% of all patients participate in clinical studies – and 30% of those participants drop out before all data is collected by the research group. This situation can be improved with the help of digital technologies.

With its UX and CX team, Zühlke can help you develop digital solutions that make participating in clinical trials easier while also ensuring a reliable trial setup and minimizing dropouts through providing an easy to use and inspiring frontend. With our experience in the handling and processing of data, we will support you in choosing an architecture for your clinical trial setups that is both easy to maintain and effortless. Embrace the “if you fail, fail fast” mentality and put your product to the test at the earliest possible stage – with the help of Zühlke experts.

2. Connect with patients

The share of clinical data with the pharmaceutical industry is hampered by a lack of trust along the society. Putting the patient into the center of all activities by giving them the control over their own data and offering improved patient outcomes with digital applications can help to build valuable relationships.

For decades, we have been offering valuable services and devices that provide added value for consumers and patients – and we will continue to do so, thereby helping you to get closer to the patient. With the help of our UX/CX team, medical devices/apps can become a communicative link between the pharma industry and the consumers. They will give you a chance to gain the patient’s trust.

3. Better understand diseases

The entrance of big tech companies changes the healthcare landscape as they take a user-centric and data-driven approach on healthcare. What is needed, however, is a smart combination of biological know-how and digital solutions.

We have highly trained and experienced specialists who know how to speak the languages of both worlds. They understand the biology and the needs of concepts such as GxP as well as cloud-based, scalable and safe architectures for data handling – and their expertise enables you to reach out and connect you to the world of the Big Tech companies. Together with our digital consultants, the cloud and platform experts and our UX/CX team, we will help you to raise your digital products and services to the next level, thus ensuring a fast time to market.

4. Efficiently Treat diseases

Not only drugs can treat diseases, also software and medical apps can be used as part of therapies to improve health outcomes.

With our proven expertise in the development of SaMD for therapeutics and our excellent User Experience Team, we can design, develop and run your digital therapeutics idea. We understand the regulatory requirements with regard to developing products such as IEC 62366 and our cross-industry experience guarantees that your solution will be state-of-the art and loved by your users.

5. Measure outcome

Legislation, regulations and payers increasingly demand proof of the effectiveness and efficiency of pharmaceuticals and medical products. The solution to that could be digital biomarkers that can measure the health outcome in real time.

We have the technical competence to develop smart connected sensors in order to gather digital biomarkers – and we can also help you to directly engage with patients, using modern frontends and an outstanding user experience. This leads to a more efficient collecting of patient reported outcomes (PRO). Building and running production scale digital data platforms and using machine learning to generate valuable information from the collected data, we are the right partner for all pharmaceutical companies that want to get more insights into health outcomes – directly from the patients.
