Driving Patient Awareness and Appointments Through a Digital Education Initiative
Jul 10, 2024
A global pharmaceutical leader leveraged Zelthy’s platform to build a disease education and patient engagement solution aimed at raising awareness and driving consultations for a specific therapy. Designed to meet patients where they are—online—the platform combined education with action, empowering patients to learn about their condition and seamlessly connect with the right care.
The Challenge
While the pharma company had launched an innovative treatment in a niche therapy area, it faced several challenges in reaching and educating potential patients:
Low awareness among patients about the disease and available treatment options
Lack of centralized, credible digital resources for the therapy area
Fragmented patient journeys from awareness to clinical consultation
Limited visibility into conversion metrics and campaign performance
Need to support HCPs with qualified leads and educational resources
To bridge the gap between online awareness and offline access to treatment—while also strengthening relationships with healthcare professionals (HCPs)—the company needed a platform that could connect the dots.
Solution
Using Zelthy, the pharma company launched a comprehensive digital therapy awareness platform, accessible via web and mobile. The solution included:
An informative, patient-friendly website on the therapy area
Targeted digital campaigns across social media and Google to drive traffic
Clear CTAs for patients to schedule consultations with specialists or partner clinics
Integration with CRM to track patient journeys and lead conversion
Real-time analytics dashboards to inform future content and outreach strategies
Content support and lead referrals for HCPs, positioning them as accessible, credible resources for patients
Impact
The initiative drove value across the board—improving patient access while building long-term HCP loyalty:
500,000+ website visits in the first 9 months
80,000+ consultation requests submitted by patients
30% conversion rate from website visitor to clinic appointment
2x increase in therapy initiations in targeted cities
Enhanced HCP equity by driving warm patient leads to partner clinics and supporting physicians with disease awareness materials
Better engagement insights into patient behavior, interests, and informational gaps
