Social Media in Clinical Research

In order to become a safe and effective medicine, a compound has to travel through a lengthy process of rigorous testing. Over the last few decades, the amount of time required to develop and test a novel drug has increased drastically. However, the introduction of social media and digital technology into drug development have the ability to significantly expedite this process. This webinar will explore the policies and principles of using social media through the evolution of developing a pharmaceutical drug from its initial stages to its introduction into the market. This includes analyzing the methods in which pharmaceutical companies utilize social media during the planning process, identifying the best candidate for the lead compound in a drug, conducting animal and human testing, recruiting candidates for clinical trials.
