Thank you for Subscribing to Life Science Review Weekly Brief
Unsurprisingly, the leading marketing trends for healthcare in 2022 will focus on digital tools and technology. Utilizing digital methods to reach physicians and healthcare providers will become more vital.
FREMONT, CA: The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the life sciences in ways people could not have predicted in 2019. Experts anticipate that by 2022, many of these modifications will have become routine procedures. The following are some life sciences marketing trends to consider in 2022.
Decentralized clinical trials: During the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical trials became decentralized as the world changed to a virtual structure. With remote monitoring from doctors, patients might participate in clinical trials from the comfort of their own homes without having to travel to a study location.
According to surveys, seventy percent of patients reside at least two hours distant from a clinical trial site, making participation difficult. By removing the transportation barrier, researchers can contact more individuals who qualify for clinical studies. In addition, decentralized clinical trials can boost involvement between patients, researchers, and physicians due to technology that keeps all parties linked throughout the experiment.
Increase in remote patient monitoring: Patients participating in clinical trials are not the only ones who will benefit from remote communication with their care providers. In 2022, experts anticipate a rise in physicians monitoring their patients remotely using wearable gadgets and other technological tools. This requires collaboration between companies in the biological sciences and consumer technologies. For instance, Best Buy acquired Current Health to bridge the gap between healthcare and the home.
Privacy concerns continue to cause advertisers headaches: The impact of Apple's new privacy guidelines that allow consumers to opt-out of email tracking has been felt by marketers. This feature will be released in the fall of 2020, marking the beginning of a new age of consumer privacy.
In 2022, marketers may anticipate a rise in the number of options available to customers who wish to preserve their privacy by opting out of various sorts of tracking. As other email providers follow Apple's example and offer opt-out alternatives, the email will likely take the most blow. Therefore, marketers will need to utilize alternative indicators to determine the efficacy of their marketing campaigns. In addition to social media involvement, they will need to pay more attention to keywords and search engine optimization (SEO).
Better treatment with fewer healthcare professionals: As much as any other industry, the healthcare industry is afflicted with widespread resignation. As a result, fewer healthcare professionals are caring for more patients.
The difficulty is, therefore, to deliver quality treatment with limited personnel. The solution will consist of digital technologies that aid the remaining healthcare professionals to provide great care. Marketers in the healthcare industry will need to structure their messaging regarding digital tools to emphasize that modern healthcare professionals are well-equipped to satisfy patients' needs.
