In an era of data-driven medical communications, we’re missing a crucial ingredient: storytelling. New research shows our brains are wired to engage with narrative formats – making storytelling not just a ‘nice-to-have’ but a neurological necessity for effective medical education. Learn how the STORIES framework (Structure, Tailoring, Originality, Rationality, Immediacy, Emotionality, Simplicity) is revolutionizing how we communicate complex medical information to healthcare providers and patients alike. From graphic novels to VR simulations, see how narrative techniques are transforming medical education and patient engagement.

And yet, the metrics that have been traditionally used to guide these decisions offer only a partial view. The result: a hit-or-miss situation when it comes to reaching the target audience—healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients.

Omnichannel communication is the strategy of integrating various communication channels, both digital and non-digital, and joining multiple communication touchpoints to provide a seamless, personalized experience, and unified identity across all channels, devices, and touchpoints: the customer (namely HCPs and patients), rather than the product, is at the center.
