Pennsylvania Company Launches Mobile Health Practice:  Mobicize Health Solutions Philadelphia, PA, April 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations face unique challenges promoting products and services to healthcare professionals (HCPs). They are further challenged with the efforts required to support patients in maintaining consistent therapy and achieving treatment goals. These companies are looking to alternative channels to engage both HCPs and patients to increase brand awareness, boost sales, provide on-label information and improve patient outcomes with increased adherence for prescribed therapies. Mobicize has launched a practice dedicated to supporting these efforts through the mobile channel.

Over the past two decades the Mobicize leadership team has been involved in the development and execution of hundreds of multi-channel communication campaigns in support of healthcare brands. As Mobicize currently assists clients with mobile strategy development and execution, it is a natural progression to offer pharmaceutical / biotech / medical device manufacturers, industry service providers and agencies, insurers, and healthcare practices the ability to leverage the mobile channel for engagement initiatives with healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers.

"With our combined experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and our expertise in mobile strategies and tactics, we are uniquely positioned to assist these companies in effectively leveraging the mobile channel," said Craig Rohrbaugh, Managing Partner at Mobicize. "Mobile is the first true one-to-one marketing communication channel, and the audiences being targeted by this industry are going mobile at a rapid pace. It is essential that healthcare organizations provide an optimal user experience across a full suite of access points to fully engage their audience, just as more traditional channels have been utilized to do so in the past."

Gartner Research has projected that more than 85% of new handsets sold this year will be able to access the mobile web, and in the next three years more people will access the web via mobile devices than from desktops and laptops combined. "With the exponential growth of smartphone usage in the United States, Mobicize is offering their healthcare clients a full suite of mobile solutions for engaging and communicating with healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers," said Rohrbaugh.
