Project Overview
Medical Devices Supply organizations around the world are challenged by pressures to reduce costs, improve coordination and outcomes, provide more with less and be more patient centric. Yet, at the same time, evidence is mounting that the industry is increasingly challenged by entrenched inefficiencies and suboptimal clinical outcomes. Pearl is here to help enable opportunities of business intelligence and innovation through the effective use of advanced analytics and big data.
Business Scenario
Using data from connected devices and other sources of consumer interactions and transactions (e.g., social media, patient blogs and mobile), device manufacturers can better understand customer likes and dislikes, behaviours and preferences. Such insights can drive more effective product development, as well as sales and marketing initiatives. Effective use of BI tools can not only help organisations visualise their data but can also guide them to take critical decisions that could shape their future based on dependable trends.
