(In and Out) Licensing Deals
Decide which are the most relevant product candidates and target firms for your key TAs and for your overall business goals and how does their profile fit with your own organisation's structure, culture, ethics, management and strategy.
Medical and Marketing Omnichannel Set-up, Delivery and Analytics
To completely redefine HCP engagement ethically (e.g. through proper consent management, ethical content, channel integrity, data ethics) to craft relevant customer journeys, to measure ROI, Brand Health and more.

It is reassuring that when compared to other industries, strategic partnerships in Pharma seem more successful according to industry experts, with a 50 - 60% success rate, compared to just 20% - 40% in other areas. But the higher the cultural differences and the more divergent the ways of doing business, the higher the chances of failure are. That is why before any type of important deal or partnership, an organisation should undertake an in-depth strategic vendor and/or target assessment - to assess fit from various perspectives and mitigate risks, ultimately ensuring those vendors become long term synergistic partners, not foes.

Target Audience

Pharma, Biotech and MedTech companies need not only patient-centric approaches but also audience-centric approaches, where knowing your key HCP segments (including their beliefs, behaviours and channel preferences) is key to optimising the engagement and ultimately to business success.

We help clients design and implement their Omnichannel strategy, chose the best tools and platforms for analysing and optimising Omnichannel campaigns, strategically assess different Omnichannel related software and delivery vendors as well as assess ethical issues related to Marketing and Medical Omnichannel campaigns and embed relevant governance frameworks.

Pharma companies that have implemented an effective Omnichannel strategy and are delivering Omnichannel campaigns have noticed an increase in sale revenue of up to 15% (Aktana Research, 2022). On the other hand, using advanced Analytics and AI in Omnichannel strategy can lead to a 15-20% increase in ROI (return on investment) and up to 20% revenue growth.

Unlocking Value in Healthcare and MedTech through Ethical Design and Innovation

We help with ethical assessment of existing products and services, build and embed new design frameworks that fit with both social responsibility and regulatory requirements

Ethical Training and Development

External data is now being used for the initial development of products, services and entire digital infrastructures, vast amounts of internal data is generated, stored, used and reused by MedTech and Healthcare providers and researchers - and this comes with ever increasing cost, legal and above all, ethical implications.

Apart from data itself, the various intended and non-intended uses of a device or software have to be considered, to mitigate any potential harm - now and in the longer term (as far as it is reasonably possible to predict).

MedTech - Ethical Data, Product and Service Assessment

We run internal workshops and seminars focussed on ethical issues and risks in your business - related to AI technologies or other ethically charged aspects.

When it comes to AI literacy courses, sometimes ethical implications are not fully covered and sometimes not fully understood.

We do our best to ensure your people and decision makers get a good grasp of these really important but not always easily detectable or well enough understood issues.

Ethical Design and Innovation Frameworks

We help you build and embed ethical design frameworks for your products or services - starting from analysing your desired business goals, your regulatory and cost constraints, overall best practices and recommendations in your market segment.

We also help with overall ethical innovation strategy - we help you design a new innovation business model and embed strategic ethical practices.

Contextual integrity, data protection and privacy by design are not just buzz words but increasing business imperatives.

Ethical design builds trust with physicians, patients, regulators, insurers and your overall ecosystem and unlocks value in the medium to long term.

Ethics and Responsible Innovation pay off in the long run - a Deloitte study found that 76% of healthcare consumers are more likely to trust companies that are transparent about how they use data and make decisions; also ethical design and transparency in clinical trials and post-market surveillance can lead to quicker approvals and fewer recalls, saving money long term and building a good reputation.

Product Pipeline & Portfolio Analysis and Management

A company may have stellar scientific descriptions of its products and candidates, but how about their past, present and future financial performance? how about their ethical profile - from the way clinical trials are conducted to how data is captured, used, stored etc. and to any health and wellbeing risks for patients? how about specific regulatory compliance (e.g. MDR, EU AI Act)?how do they compare to similar drugs/devices from competitors?

Our advisory services include insights into bioethics and data & AI ethics ensuring both responsible and effective R&D innovation practices, aware of current socioeconomic, legal and ethical paradigms.
