Life Science Company Feedback

Associate Director, Medical Affairs - Asynchronous DAB with a live Webinar (Synchronous)

“medCrowd is easy to use, the participants and our team thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The DAB worked better than a face to face solution - learnings are easier to gather and the insights remain more concise than in a face to face event.”

Director, Global Medical Affairs – Asynchronous DAB

“Once you get in motion and can keep the momentum, it’s a very smooth tool to engage quickly with KOLs and it’s a pleasure to see when they go beyond answering your questions and start debating amongst themselves in the platform.”

Global Events Team: Medical Affairs – Asynchronous DAB

“Great, proactive support from the medDigital team. Good level of communication and fast turnaround and response time whenever actions are required. I also appreciate the expertise and guidance from previous experiences on how to use the platform in the most productive way. I find the payment process based on allocated time per conversation well managed and in line with compliance requirements.”

Professional Feedback

Doctor, Nephrology, Russia

“This is a very good and new format for discussion. I think this experience should be spread.”

Doctor, Nephrology, Turkey

“I enjoyed this format a lot. Although I was extremely busy with the daily routine, I had the chance to see all the information and was able to follow all the questions and answers.”

Doctor, Infectious Diseases, Mexico

“It has been an incredibly productive way to learn and share knowledge. Just by reading what the experiences of other centres have been and the insight of the collaborators is more than enough to say it has been a successful story in times of difficulties.”
