Need a better approach to soliciting insights and engagement?

Many pharma teams struggle to interact with experts, manage those interactions and handle their reporting needs. They don’t have a modern KOL and HCP engagement strategy, much less a technology platform to manage and execute that strategy from one place.

Failing to bring experts together to share their insights can jeopardize your mission—whether it’s advancing clinical research or bringing your products to market.

Today, pharma teams are discovering just how much more efficient they can be—and how many more rich insights they can generate—by incorporating virtual ad boards into their engagement program, either partially or entirely.

Common advisory board challenges:

  • Inability to get timely access to answers
  • Difficulty building relationships with experts due to inefficient coordination
  • Difficulty setting up events due to them being taxing and expensive
  • Difficulty getting KOLs and other stakeholders to join and engage
  • Difficulty surfacing key themes across meeting transcripts, emails, physical notes, survey data and other information stores

ExtendMed simplifies and strengthens your expert engagement and medical education workflow.

We partner with pharmaceutical, biotech and healthcare communications companies to transition teams to a modern, digitally-enabled advisory board program.

Graduate from siloed tools and infrequent, in-person-only engagements by centralizing logistics management among your team, enabling synchronous and asynchronous digital engagement motions and increasing the frequency and quality of your advisory board engagements.

We don’t just build technology solutions—ExtendMed has years of experience working with pharmaceutical industry partners to provide recommendations that lower costs and improve efficiencies across your engagement programs. Partner with us when you’re ready to take thought leader engagement to the next level.

Client Showcase: Switching to ExtendMed for Tailored Success

Our engagement with one biopharmaceutical company illustrates the advantages of switching to a more tailored solution.

After experiencing challenges with Within3’s limited contracting options, the company partnered with ExtendMed to optimize its virtual advisory board activities. Starting with a small-scale project using ExtendMed's Health Expert Connect™ platform, they quickly saw the benefits of a more flexible, cost-effective, and hands-on approach.

  • The company used our platform to engage a diverse group of experts across different therapeutic areas, combining synchronous and asynchronous engagement methods. This approach enabled deeper, more comprehensive engagement compared to a single meeting or completely asynchronous discussion.

  • Beyond providing a capable platform, ExtendMed’s team offered planning, execution, project management and the technological expertise to facilitate custom solutions, ensuring a seamless process.

  • Building on this success, the company continued to expand its program, leveraging ExtendMed's adaptability to address new therapeutic areas and specialist groups. What began as a strategic shift from a competitor's platform has now grown into a comprehensive engagement strategy that continues to evolve, meeting the company's expanding needs.

The advisory board engagement for the company, facilitated by ExtendMed, yielded several significant outcomes that had a lasting impact on the project and the business, including higher engagement and participation from diverse specialists, as well as enhanced relationships with KOLs.

Today, the success of this enhanced engagement model leaves the door open for further growth.
