The life sciences industry is one of many that rely on animal testing and research. Chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, universities, and government agencies together spend tens of billions of dollars each year conducting animal research in order to evaluate the safety of their products.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the pharma to physician dynamic was in the midst of some significant changes.

For architects, developers and other commercial real estate professionals tasked with the design, build and fit out of pharmaceutical laboratories, it is important to keep a finger squarely on the pulse of where the industry is headed.

As pharmaceutical executives continue to grapple with COVID-19 related obstacles and an ever-increasing array of complexities, costs and regulations associated with operations, a greater number of them are turning to Pharma 4.0 manufacturing as a possible solution to help enhance the bottom line.

As the impact of COVID-19 escalates globally, many hospitals and clinics are continuing to limit non-essential patient visits for clinical trials. According to recent research, more than 1,200 clinical trials have been put on hold so far this year.

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed a whole lot of chaos for pharmaceutical organizations in 2020.

Over the past several months, the pharmaceutical industry has faced new challenges when it comes to the marketing their commercial products because of the ever-changing landscape created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are excited to announce that our Swittons Internet of Things (IoT) powered smart devices have made their debut on the Salesforce AppExchange.

This means our Swittons platform can now be utilized across several functions within the same organization, with workstream-specific customizations for each functional vertical.

Around the time of the Internet boom, however, things started to change. Websites and email were altering the way people accessed information. While at the same time, coincidentally, policies were becoming more restrictive regarding what life sciences companies could and couldn’t do for physicians.

A lot has been written about our Internet of Things (IoT) powered smart devices, and all the creative use cases for them. Whether it’s for Pharma to Physician communication, time management, combating the spread of COVID-19 or Lab of The Future implementation, our innovative devices are only limited by one’s imagination. What hasn’t been covered, however, is what makes Swittons […]

As the world’s population continues age, and modern healthcare services become a reality for many, demand for pharma products continues to skyrocket. All of which are great for the industry, but potentially not the greatest for the environment. The root cause being energy consumption. It takes a lot of energy to run manufacturing facilities, power […]

As we begin to enter a “post-COVID” world, it’s important to understand that things will not go back to “normal”. This is especially true for the way pharma sales reps interact with physicians. To that point, read what was said here from Gartner “Life Science CIO Action Plan for COVID-19” that was published in April of this […]

Our complete lineup of customizable IoT powered devices now includes integration with Microsoft Teams. The integration enables voice, video and online collaboration at the push of a button. […]

We recently asked Dr. Mandira N. Mehra her thoughts on the pharma-physician communication gap based on her professional experiences. Here’s what she had to say: Medicine and technology have worked intimately, arm in arm, for years. The more advanced our technology becomes the better diagnosis, treatment, and patient care we can provide. While the advances […]

My coworker told a story about taking his young child to the pediatrician recently, in this new COVID world, and the office processes had completely changed. They installed new doors that opened by waving a hand in front of a sensor and even had people wait in their cars until it was their time in […]

What is Whitespace? For arguments in this piece, we will define whitespace as those territories that have no sales reps in their geography and those offices that are refusing to see reps.  According to Decision Resource Group (DRG)’s 2019 ePharma Physician Report, just over half (54%) of the physicians in the research firm poll said that they […]

Over the past few decades, pharmaceutical sales reps’ access has steadily decreased, and it has become increasingly tough for them to deliver a strong, in-person sales presentation.  The old stand-by approach would be to set up camp at the sample closet, pretending to organize your products and wait for the physician to walk by. Then, […]

The world is rapidly undergoing a technological revolution, and many companies are making use of the benefits it has to offer. Of these technological advancements, the Internet of Things (IoT) stands prominent, especially in the manufacturing of goods. However, the pharmaceutical industry remains conservative toward adopting and utilizing the full potential of it. This explains […]

Like many other industries, the internet of things has the power to revolutionize the Pharma industry completely. Pharmaceutical companies can leverage the benefits that this technology has to offer in manufacturing plants, the entire supply chain, delivery routines, and the patients themselves. Besides the full range of benefits that the technology has to offer, there […]
