In the commercialization of products, medical affairs and science drive the access and policy conversation so that the right patients receive the right pharmaceuticals, therapies and treatments. Medical devices, technology and digital biomarkers have become part of the clinical development process and the entire ecosystem of how we evaluate and treat patients.
Developing a strong cross-functional team that includes Biomedical Engineering as well as a Medical Affairs function, is essential within both pharma and medical device companies. The intersection of science and technology is redefining the real-world evidence landscape is essential for Health Economics and Outcomes Research strategic decision making, oversight, evaluating evidence gaps, and interpreting the medical and clinical value of health outcomes.
Over the years, we have not only seen how medical device technology has played a critical role in the evolution of access to medicines, but also in how real-world evidence is being innovatively utilized within pharma and is impacting decision making among healthcare providers, medical affairs and External Groups, alike. Although the scope and structure of the commercialization teams may vary across industry, a strong biomedical engineering and scientific team is needed to achieve impact along patient, disease state, clinical and payer fronts.
