New Electronic and Web-based Applications, Sites, and Technologies Featured Briefs: QuantiaMD Launches Digital Marketing Strategies Solution E-UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS Oracle Launches Mobile Clinical Research Associate AG Mednet Announces Cloud Storage Solution Tools of the Trade Denise Myshko Trending Now: As a result of shrinking sales forces and restrictions on access to care facilities, pharmaceutical companies are struggling to engage physicians in quality face-to-face product discussions. QuantiaMD, a social learning and collaboration platform for physicians, has launched ServiceLink, a fully mobile, cloud-based communication suite for the pharmaceutical industry. This product uses social technologies to allow pharmaceutical companies to build and manage relationships with physicians in a way that is convenient and effective for both parties. Among other features, the suite provides a single access point for physicians to digitally connect with pharma reps within a trusted, independent clinical community. A recent QuantiaMD study conducted with Capgemini Consulting found that 77% of physicians want to receive product information via an independent medical channel. To address this market need and support other brand promotional efforts, QuantiaMD has launched ServiceLink, a more efficient and cost-effective way to bridge access gaps and expand physician-to-rep connectivity. “ServiceLink is an example of how we’re applying social technologies to solve real efficiency challenges in healthcare, as confirmed by the early adoption by our clients," says Mike Coyne, CEO of QuantiaMD. { For more information, visit QuantiaMD.com.
