Digestible content revealed as the most significant driver to clinician satisfaction
January 13, 2022 – LONDON, UK: New research of +1,830 physicians across Europe, Brazil and Japan has revealed the need for the pharmaceutical industry to produce easy to read, ‘digestible’ content in the post-COVID era as physicians receive more digital content than ever before.
The research led by Bryter, a market research and insights consultancy, shows the direct relationship between clinician treatment choices and pharma’s ability to produce digestible digital content that can be easily shared with patients. The research looked at satisfaction with digital content (email, internet, smartphone or tablet content) provided by AstraZeneca, Roche, Sanofi, Novartis, Bayer, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, MSD, Daiichi-Sankyo, Janssen, Gilead and Takeda.
Laurence Olding, Healthcare Research Manager at Bryter, said, “If digital channels are to become the pre-eminent means of communicating, pharmaceutical companies need to understand what matters most to clinicians and how they are currently performing against their competitors. Providing information that is easily digestible, keeps physicians up-to-date with scientific developments, and helps them deliver better patient care is fundamental to driving satisfaction with the digital content pharma provides”.
Since the start of the pandemic, more than two-thirds (67%) of clinicians have received more digital content from pharmaceutical companies than before the pandemic.
Laurence Olding, Bryter, explains, “We’re starting to see a divide between the pharma companies who are keeping pace with clinician needs in digital, and those who are beginning to fall behind. We ranked clinician satisfaction across therapy areas, across markets and between pharma companies. We’ve assessed how satisfied clinicians are, which companies are ahead of the curve in producing interactive content and which are lagging. What’s clear is there is more the pharma industry can be doing to improve”.

Additionally, as part of their research into digital engagement with HCPs post-COVID, Bryter has assessed the digital content and channel engagement Forxiga, Jardiance and Invokana amongst Nephrologists as well as five immunology brands (Dupixent, Skyrizi, Taltz, Stelara and Cosentyx), with Dupixent scoring the highest. Dermatologists were more likely to share Dupixent digital information and content with their colleagues (79%) compared with other brands.
