Medical CRM can help healthcare organizations better understand and serve their patients, reconnect with ‘lost’ patients, and attract new ones. Additionally, it can automate some of the important workflows, provide an easy and secure data exchange environment, and relieve staff from routine tasks, giving them more time to care for patients and grow professionally.
High-quality healthcare CRM is a complex system requiring time and budget to be implemented and extra time on organizing user training sessions. However, given the benefits mentioned in this article, it is worth the investment. To take the most advantage of this investment, it should be approached with a clear vision of the organization’s needs and goals.

Under ‘normal’ circumstances, citizens already hope to deal with the public sector in the same seamless and convenient way that they shop online for groceries. However, during large-scale crises – like, but not limited to the ongoing pandemic, rather than downsizing staff within public services, they are having to work harder than ever before.
In current times, businesses and citizens are seeking more reassurance and proactive support from the public sector than ever before, as they weather the remaining storm of COVID-19. In turn, those working in the public are dealing with a long list of challenges every single day to meet new needs and requirements.

Medicines are becoming ever more complex in response to growth in personalised treatments and the development of a wide range of therapeutics to address less common conditions or rare diseases
by Kelly Doering, Sr Director, Industry Marketing, Pharma, AspenTech Medicines are becoming ever more complex in response to growth in personalised treatments and the development of a wide range of therapeutics to address less common conditions or rare diseases. Examples of the latter include small molecules linked to large, perhaps conjugated to a chemotoxic agent for targeted cancer treatment; peptides linked to peptides; oligos linked to molecules that allow for better cell permeability; and lipid-encapsulated molecules that prevent degradation. But it is the market for more personalised medication…

The Covid pandemic has elevated the diagnostics industry to new heights of relevance and given it a place in the popular consciousness not previously seen.
The subsequent rise in global fuel prices and the economic impact of the war in Ukraine have also focused the minds of medical technology company bosses and health budget planners on the need to do more with fewer resources. All of these developments, coupled with greater use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, means that technology has never been more important to the health of populations. This is particularly true of in vitro diagnostics – with the pandemic accelerating investment in infectious disease diagnoses to unprecedented levels – and with activity now spinning out to other areas. A market research study published this…

Having weathered a global pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the medical technology industry might be forgiven for believing – or at least hoping – that the worst may soon be over. A cost-of-living crisis should not, on the face of it, be something that would directly affect companies involved in the production of surgical equipment and medical technology, but risk lurks in the unlikeliest of corners.

Burnout can cause people to make mistakes such as duplications, incorrect information, and late data entry causing incorrect decision-making. Being one of the most passionate and necessary industries, it is important that healthcare workers including nurses, doctors and clinicians are given the right amount of support. With this in mind, Hannah Wilkinson, Head of People & Culture at Radar Healthcare, shares five ways health tech companies can alleviate burnout across the workforce.
Around 400 staff are leaving the NHS every week due to the effects of stress, including burnout and PTSD, in the workplace. Burnout can cause people to make mistakes such as duplications, incorrect information, and late data entry causing incorrect decision-making. Being one of the most passionate and necessary…

Industries are continuously evolving, and the pharma industry is no exception. There are trends impacting the way we think about pharma, how pharma development is conducted, and the opportunities for pharma to make an impact on a societal level. Looking ahead, we can see a few trends that have emerged and that are gaining traction within the industry. This in turn influences how portfolio management is perceived and what it is expected to deliver.

The healthcare industry is expanding rapidly in the U.K., the U.S., France, Germany, Japan, China, and Singapore.
This is mainly credited to the surging prevalence of chronic diseases, soaring adoption of healthcare insurance, burgeoning requirement for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests, mushrooming population of geriatric people, increasing gross domestic product (GDP) and healthcare expenditure, growing implementation of several government initiatives aimed at enhancing healthcare services, rapid digitization in the healthcare ecosystem, and improving healthcare infrastructure. The soaring population of geriatric people is one of the major growth drivers of the healthcare industry. This is because geriatric people are highly vulnerable to various chronic diseases such as neurological condi…

The analysis of proteins and peptides and their post-translational modifications is particularly important for the study of diseases where multiple genes are known to be involved, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthesis. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes that translate mRNA into polypeptide chains and then undergo PTM to form the mature protein product. After the protein is compounded, 20 different amino acids participate in protein PTM, such as protein phosphorylation, protein acetylation, as well as protein methylation, which play a significant role in almost all biological processes. Therefore, the synthesis of post-translationally modified peptid…

Drug Regulatory Affairs, or DRAs, are responsible for icing that new medicines meet safety and efficacity norms. They also make sure that the medicine information is accurate and over to date before the medicine can be retailed.
What's Regulatory Affairs? Medicine Regulatory Affairs is the process of icing that medicines and medical bias are safe for public consumption. It includes the responsibility to insure that all products are manufactured in agreement with current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), to maintain records, and to report adverse events. Significance of Regulatory Affairs Medicine Regulatory Affairs is the process by which medicinals are estimated for safety and efficacity. It's an important part of the medicine development process, as it ensures that medicin…
