Challenges of Medical Congresses

Coordinating multiple teams while managing back-to-back HCP meetings is no small feat. Limited meeting times, coupled with the need for tailored, patient-centered discussions, amplify the complexity. Traditional methods of feedback collection—such as lengthy, open-ended questionnaires or paper-based forms—are not only burdensome for busy attendees but also inefficient, leading to delayed insights and missed opportunities for actionable data.

This life sciences leader needed a way to simplify processes, improve coordination, and prioritize HCP comfort and efficiency.
