    Matthew Zachary's Speech Descriptions

    Dear Pharma: There Is Nothing Centric About Patient-Centricity

    While the philosophy of patient centricity is noble, it has proven grossly ineffective for as long as it’s been a buzzword. Why? There is a fundamental disconnect at play that few, if any, perceive. It is one that patients and their respective patient advocacy organizations have never had the platform to share with industry until recently with social media as our bullhorn.

    Democratizing Cancer: How Freedom of Choice Improves Patient Reported Outcomes

    Historically, the decision-making tools allotted to cancer patients have been limited to medical teams (high-trust/low-resource) and the Internet (low-trust/high-resource).

Learn how an ever-changing landscape of consumer activism is disrupting is ending isolation, building community, providing education, redefining quality-of-life, and improving health outcomes.

    Stop Innovating and Do Something: A Patient’s Take on Digital Transformation

    Tech-savvy healthcare consumers who use digital tools to self-advocate are the ones Pharma needs to look out for the most. Why? Because, with or without industry, they are already changing the landscape from the ground up. Big Pharma needs to adapt if they want to stay relevant by reimagining their fundamental philosophies about marketing communication and what success actually means.
