How a pharmaceutical company used social listening to empower patients

Patients have become more and more empowered to gather knowledge and information about their health. They, along with caregivers and healthcare professionals, are increasingly turning to social media to connect with peers and share advice.

The findings of this analysis can be used by HCPs and pharma companies to improve the experience and communication of the patient journey.
