The Evolution of Medical Affairs
Simultaneous Interpretation
Recently, the importance of medical affairs as a leading function has been increasing.
The evolution of Medical Affairs (MA) as an essential function in Pharma has been ongoing, and the importance of medical scientific engagement is more and more important. HCPs face challenges in obtaining accurate information in timely manner, and the need for MA to demonstrate leadership in well balanced scientific communication is increasing. This is due to a rapidly evolving environment, increase in information and platforms, and insufficient time to analyze and interpret information.
As a result, the need for MA to demonstrate leadership in well balanced scientific communication is increasing. This means that stronger collaboration, increased capabilities, and broader scopes of activities are important. The common goals of medical and commercial are to achieve optimal health care.
Therefore, both functions need to collaborate in order to maximize synergy, and minimize overlap. Optimal collaboration is a key for high quality customer experience, particularly, but not limited to medical and commercial.
In order to do so, we can think about how we can increase the value of speaker programs from a scientific perspective, how we can prepare for medical launch in early phases, how to fully utilize real world evidence / data, how to reflect the patient's perspective, and how to utilize artificial intelligence and omnichannel platforms.
In this session, we will consider the elements of change that are necessary for Medical Affairs to further demonstrate its value and contribute to optimal health care.

What Health Care Professionals Want from Pharma Companies
Simultaneous Interpretation
Recently, the relationship between medical professionals and healthcare companies is changing due to various environmental changes such as COVID-19, advances in technology, and reforms in the way physicians work. In this session, I will discuss how pharmaceutical companies and the medical department should provide the information that healthcare professionals require. Medical professionals want to aim for patient-oriented medical care. The medical department is in a position to contribute to the development of the healthcare society by providing what medical professionals want, but currently, due to various barriers, it is not able to do so. Therefore, I would like to propose, from the standpoint of a physician, how medical professionals and healthcare companies can work together as partners for the development of the healthcare society.

Activating Veeva Link Utilization
Japanese Only
Previously, we had no established methodology for referencing customer information, including that of key opinion leaders, requiring us to rely on referencing various facilities, conferences, and literature search sites that were based on individuals' knowledge and experience. Because the quality of this method was highly-dependent on the competence of individuals, it raised concerns over efficiency and the comprehensiveness of information. In response, we tried to solve the issue by introducing Veeva Link, but found that it took some innovative ideas to promote its widespread use at our company. This session will present these innovative ideas in the hopes of providing valuable insight to attendees who may be considering the service.

Future Engagement Models for Connecting Doctors and Pharmaceutical Companies
Japanese Only
Medicine is constantly evolving, resulting in an array of treatment options. How can we, as pharmaceutical companies, respond to the various questions that arise in doctors' daily practices?
We must drive the evolution of an engagement model capable of quickly delivering the information physicians need, when they need it. We must also be prepared for the changes that will result from doctors' work-style reforms.
This session will explore how we can support a new engagement model through the Engage platform, explained through specific use cases. It will also provide insight into how Veeva's engagement model will evolve in the future while incorporating information from the product roadmap.

Harnessing the power of collaboration and Medical evolution for enhanced KOL engagement.
Japanese Only
In the development of new drugs by pharmaceutical companies, as more drugs with novel mechanisms of action are being developed, there is a growing demand for medically and scientifically information among healthcare professionals, including Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). Additionally, in order to meet the diverse needs of healthcare professionals, it is necessary to enhance customer engagement through omni-channel approaches. However, many pharmaceutical companies are facing dilemmas and challenges in terms of collaboration between their medical departments and other departments, as well as driving transformation.
Through a panel discussion with members of the medical department, it provides an opportunity to engage with the medical department and delve into their efforts to address challenges and drive change.

Key Points to Increase the Efficiency of Content Creation and Make It More Effective
Simultaneous Interpretation
Pharmaceutical companies are under increasing pressure to create and leverage a wide range of content as customers' information needs become more personalized and communication channels diversify. One possible solution is the modular content approach, which is gaining popularity in Europe and the United States and is expected to be adopted in Japan. To prepare for such a future, it is critical to increase the efficiency of current content production and make it more effective. From the perspective of introducing DAM and promoting the effective use of content, this session introduces real-world examples of using Veeva along with efforts at Eli Lilly.
Let’s share our own experiences and learn from each other while enjoying a drink and finger food together.
We look forward to seeing you!
