Social Listening Digital Insights as Real World Evidence and AI powered Patient Journeys

by Roberto Strino - Manager, Digital Health & Innovation- AstraZeneca



Keynote

Healthcare is entering a new era where patient-generated digital signals., from social media, online communities, search behavior, and digital engagement platforms, can complement traditional Real-World Evidence (RWE) to provide a more holistic understanding of patient needs and behaviors. Combined with Artificial Intelligence, these insights enable the design of more personalized, predictive, and outcome-oriented patient journeys.

This session explores how pharma organizations can leverage social listening and AI-driven analytics to improve patient engagement, identify unmet needs earlier, and support more patient-centric healthcare strategies while maintaining ethical and compliant data governance.
