ePatient Connections 2015

As the Internet and technology continue to evolve, more and more patients are empowered to take an active role in their own healthcare. Through a number of social media platforms, online communities and mobile applications, patients are becoming their own advocates by sharing and gathering information about their diseases, connecting with physicians to improve outcomes, and consulting with industry experts.

The ePatient Connections 2015 summit focuses on bridging the communication gap between industry leaders and ePatients to establish shared goals in order to enable cross-functional, patient-centric collaboration to improve overall health outcomes and enhance participation in clinical trials. All stakeholders benefit from the consolidation of industry knowledge, patient experience and insights.

Additionally, through multiple case studies and panel sessions, this event offers actionable strategies for industry leaders to communicate and connect with ePatients and ePatient communities in an evolving regulatory landscape.
