NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PM360, a leading trade magazine for marketing decision-makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and diagnostics industries, has named Semcasting’s digital point of care (POC) solution as one of the most innovative products of 2019.
Traditional POC campaigns can be limited by the production, approval and distribution, setup, validation and take-down processes for physical materials in offices. Because of this, Semcasting saw a need for a digital solution and used its patented Smart Zones technology to create a digital POC solution that allows communication to all devices that connect to networks in specific health care provider offices. For example, Semcasting’s digital POC solution was leveraged by a leading OTC children’s allergy medication company to effectively initiate direct engagement with patients’ parents. This resulted in a 1.5x increase in dollars and unit sales of the pediatric OTC product due to the media exposure and a 1.1x increase in sales to the brand, showcasing a halo effect to other products sold under the same brand.
“It is an honor to be included in PM360’s annual innovation issue for our digital POC solution,” said Matt Hedberg, VP, General Manager of Professional Services, Semcasting. “Our team has a deep understanding of how to successfully execute digital marketing in a privacy-safe manner in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals. That knowledge helped us create this solution to supplement existing POC campaigns and fill in any existing gaps digitally. We are glad that PM360 recognizes the power of our patented technologies for the industry a second time, following our inclusion in the innovation issue in 2017 for our Matchback Attribution solution.”
On top of being named to PM360’s innovation issue, Semcasting recently achieved certified status for information security by HITRUST, demonstrating its continued commitment to securely serve the health and pharma industries. Additionally, the business unit within Semcasting specializing in healthcare, pharmaceuticals and insurance has realized over 50% year over year growth due to its focus on regulatory compliant solutions.
Semcasting’s digital POC solution was selected as part of PM360’s 8th Annual Innovations Issue published each December. This issue was established to serve as a guide to the year’s most innovative companies, startups, divisions, products, services and strategies from within the healthcare and life sciences industries. This comprehensive overview of the year’s most innovative achievements in these six categories helps other companies in the industry to find potential partners and offerings that can help them advance healthcare and life sciences.
“For the past eight years, we have worked to help the industry identify the latest and most exciting advancements that facilitate change in the industry, how it operates, or offer new advancements that better serve patients, doctors, payers and others involved,” says Anna Stashower, CEO/Publisher of PM360. “We hope this guide can serve as an important resource for the industry throughout 2020 as we all work to improve the healthcare experience for everyone involved.”
