Visibility Magazine Along with SMi Group Announces - The Social Media Doctor: Pharmaceutical Industry Enters Into a New and Exciting Digital Era in 2016

Naples, FL, October 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- As well as social media leading the way in pharmacovigilance, clinical trial recruitment and digital communications, the pharmaceutical industry is entering into a new and exciting digital era which is embracing patient engagement through sophisticated use of ‘social listening' and playing a central role in cutting edge personalised healthcare such as wearable technology.

Building on the success of previous events, SMi Group is delighted to introduce the 8th annual conference on Social Media in the Pharmaceutical Industry taking place on 20th and 21st January in Central London.

· Can mHealth apps teach health-related survival skills?
· Will empowerment of patients transform ‘outdated’ cultural attitudes within Health?
· How can negative social media be countered?
· How can social media provide a lifeline for rare diseases in minority populations?
· How can pharma evaluate social media ROI?
