Challenge
To ensure the adherence of patients to the treatment related to the medicine Verzenio, used for patients with MBC (Metastatic Breast Cancer) and EBC (Early Breast Cancer), that started and remain in treatment. It is a treatment with a 24 month duration.
Facts
- 1 out of 5 patients discontinue the treatment due to unpleasant side effects1
- > 80% of patients experience diarrhea once being prescribed Verzenio. Diarrhea side effects should be treated with antidiarrheal medication.
- > 20% of those patients experience grade 2 and 3 (intervention necessary).
- Patients seek answers on digital channels not currently available.
1EBC Clinical trial data: ~ 17% of patients discontinue treatment due to unpleasant side effects.
My Role
As a leader of UX strategy in Lilly Pharma Spain, I defined research techniques for the discovery phase, validation of ideas and design of assets, collaboration sessions with stakeholders (business, marketing, research, and development team), definition of journey in Salesforce Marketing Cloud and finally layout of emails in HTML and CSS.
Data on which we support initial decisions
- Survey data conducted by MBC community leaders.
- We conducted interviews with nurses who followed up on the program of this type of cancer, and who were the people closest to the patients. They also followed up and communicated by phone with the patients.
Some obstacles or frictions that we encountered and how we solved them.
It was the first time that a 100% digital program would be launched and the communication channels that patients used to contact the HCP (Health Care Providers) would be eliminated.
We did not know the tone of voice and communication rules already established in our client’s company.
Delivering a validated solution
The proposal we validated with users
Integrated Digital Experience
We presented in the interviews the 11 e-mails designed to understand what kind of content they expected, if the channel seemed simple, what they missed, etc. Example of the data collected from the evaluation of E-mail 1:
