The world has been passing through significant changes and evolution since its beginning. In the past years, especially during and after the pandemic, we have experienced unprecedented change and digitalization which has ushered in a new era in how we do business. Could not be different in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, we are now challenged to identify ways to completely transform how we operate and engage moving forward with innovation.
Therefore, concerning the industry we work with, we can advance commercialization in three ways: proactive collaboration, flexible approaches, and a commitment to meeting the changing expectations of patients and doctors or healthcare professionals in general.
Shifting Paradigm: From Siloed to Collaborative Commercialization Models
In the past, companies would primarily focus on developing and marketing their products without engaging with other healthcare industry participants, and it used to make pharmaceutical commercialization models often operated with limited collaboration among various external stakeholders. This siloed approach often resulted in fragmented strategies, where issues related to market access, reimbursement, and patient needs were often addressed only after a product was already developed.
With the occurrence of the pandemic, we were able to realize the importance of proactivity, systemwide collaboration, and innovation. We are being called to have an approach more focused on collaboration between the multiple stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. Including, this way, engaging with payers, providers, patient advocacy groups, and regulators from the early stages of drug development. In other words, we can create a more seamless and effective commercialization process by aligning commercial strategies with development, reimbursement, and market access.
Early engagement can enable the development of value-based pricing models and evidence-generation strategies, highlighting pharmaceutical products, clinical and economic value. This collaborative approach ensures that patients have timely access to innovative treatments while also addressing the financial concerns of payers. Showing this way the undeniable importance of collaboration with payers.
The co-creation of care pathways aligned with the healthcare systems, including hospitals and clinics is also very important since they are part of the group of partners in the commercialization process and they are face-to-face and deeply involved with the patients as well. This partnership with healthcare systems improves patient outcomes, fosters trust, and streamlines the commercialization process. This is the future of healthcare.
Also, proactive communication with regulatory agencies is fundamental. Pharmaceutical companies can navigate the complex landscape more efficiently by collaborating closely earlier. Engaging reactively can cost pharmaceutical companies time and money and ultimately slow the process of getting medicines to patients. Early engagement allows for timely identification and resolution of potential policy hurdles and ensures compliance with evolving regulations. This proactive approach may reduce time-to-market and facilitate patient access to innovative therapies. Furthermore, collaboration with patient advocacy groups is very important as well.

Enough of One-Size-Fits-All: The Need for a Tailored Approach
The future of commercialization needs a departure from the traditional one-size-fits-all approach, in addition to proactive collaboration. Our unflexible, standardized commercial strategies are moving towards flexible, nuanced models that address the specific needs of different therapeutic areas, patient populations, doctors, and market agents. The advent of personalized medicine and precision therapeutics is also necessitating individualized commercialization strategies.
With all the modernization specific therapeutic areas have been created and specific strategies are paramount. Each therapeutic area has unique market dynamics, patient demographics, treatment patterns, unmet needs and stakeholder expectations. Personalized medicine is rapidly advancing, and commercialization strategies must adapt accordingly. An important example of this is the need for further diagnostics integration.
Collaboration with diagnostic companies helps ensure appropriate patient selection, identify responders to personalized therapies, and facilitate reimbursement for diagnostic testing. Equally, we’re seeing how tailored communication and education plans, highlighting the benefits of customized treatments, are becoming more crucial for gaining acceptance from patients, doctors, and payers.
Meeting Changing Expectations of Patients and Doctors with MILO
Ultimately, meeting the changing expectations of patients and doctors is essential for commercialization organizations of the future. Patients and physicians actively participate in healthcare decision-making, demanding greater transparency and better access to information. Meeting patients and doctors where they are with the information they value, must be priority and is becoming a requirement for our industry.
Patients often seek health information online, including treatment options, side effects, and medication instructions, and they engage so they expect the same level of personalized communication they experience in their everyday lives. Therefore, is paramount for companies to have appropriate digital channels (websites, social media, apps, etc.) to reach patients and doctors, but we must also use the right tools and appropriate data analytics to understand our audiences as individuals in a human-centric manner. And when we communicate, we must speak to them in a way that resonates with their shifting expectations toward a more personalized experience.
MILO provides tailored services such as, a comprehensive app with multiple functions that facilitate both patient and doctors livest; televisits; a website with highly informative content, all integrated. MILO’s team purpose is to bring feasible, quality, and user-friendly technology to the healthcare landscape.
