The latest from DTC Perspectives
eHealth consumer analysis / pharma case studies at 'Reform & Refocus' Conference
Friday, 02 October 2009, 12:00 PM
From Manhattan Research's Cybercitizen Health v9.0 study, released this week:
Since 2005, the number of patients using the Internet to research prescription drug information has doubled to 102.3 million. Similarly, the overall number of eHealth Consumers, those online for any health and medical information, has also grown to 157.5 million consumers, or 1.6 times the number of eHealth Consumers in 2005.
The Cybercitizen Healthstudy has found that the major theme of the digital health landscape over the past four years is the increasing diversity of the overall patient media mix. Health-related social media, in particular, has flourished in recent years with the increased popularity of online patient communities, social networking and Health 2.0 applications. When faced with health and prescription drug decisions, the average consumer relies on a variety of channels and resources for information and support – decreasing advertisers' ability to target a particular audience through any single media outlet.
