About this Meeting

Outcome focused, 2 part meetings - walk away with insights. 

Participate in a Digital Health Sprint in order to: 

  • Deep dive into a topic over 2 focused sessions. 
  • Engage with a small group of 10 global thought-leaders throughout.  
  • This sprint is outcome-focused: HealthXL and participants create exclusive outputs.  
  • Grow your network with our break out sessions. 
Unarguably, DTx solutions have clear benefits for patients. In the last few years, pharma companies have realised the potential of DTx to improve their offerings, especially companion DTx.  But the approach taken by pharma towards standalone DTx is a bit more cautious. What role does pharma have in standalone DTx? What are the needs and recommendations for pharma to launch successful standalone DTx? In this sprint, we will break this down into 5 key challenges and agree on 5 key recommendations to overcome them. At the end of the session, HealthXL will put together an output with the learnings from the group.  

Some of the major challenges we may tackle (these are some examples - the group will agree on the problems they want to address):  

  • Immaturity of reimbursement models and figuring out a sustainable ROI model
  • Showing pharma the value of standalone DTx beyond new revenues 
  • Traditional sales models that are inadequate for standalone DTx   
  • Finding the right talent and building specialised teams 
  • Rigidity of internal traditional processes (e.g. regulatory, compliance, medical, legal, etc).
Please note: this is Part 2 of a two part session. Part 1 takes place on November 9th. Attendees must have taken part in the first session to participate in the second session.

We would like to remind you that our meetings are small and intimate sessions with a limited number of seats available, therefore we rely on your attendance and participation to ensure a high quality and valuable meeting for all. If you are confirmed for this meeting we ask if you can please ensure your attendance on the day.
