Philadelphia, PA — A few weeks back, five colleagues and I attended the 16th annual eyeforpharma conference in Philadelphia. We joined over 700 attendees, learned from more than 60 speakers from across the industry and attended dozens of sessions. The overarching theme was Know your patient—Deliver real value, but the topics covered the gamut and included Amazonian innovation, advanced algorithms and AI… and that was just the start. As the days unfolded, we heard from patients, HCPs and IDNs and investigated new ways of working by diving into best practices from inside and outside of our industry. The following 9 articles stand as a snapshot of the exciting topics we explored:
