What is Medical Affairs? Medical Affairs Expert Luisa Scott educates us on the field and why is it a crucial component of health care operations.

To learn more about Luisa, find her on Linkedin here:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/luisa-scott-phd/ 

Key takeaways:

1. Medical Affairs can be divided into two elements, which are the following:

i. Field Medical Team-tasked with providing non-promotional materials to healthcare providers and digging into the respective data.

ii. Post-market data collection- which patients are benefitting from the medical product?

2. One struggle that medical affairs professionals have faced among key health care stakeholders is how the utilization of medical products impacts the commercial strategies of companies. 

3. One of the values that Medical Affairs brings to the organization is the ability for the field to analyze, and crunch data to make it more accessible to consumers in real-time.

Where are EU regulations headed when it comes to A.I. in healthcare? With his expertise in the Italian market in pharmaceutical marketing and sales, Manuel Mitola, MBA Mitola teaches us how A.I. is being adopted and used in Europe. He also educates us on key legislative priorities while also balancing innovation on the European continent.

Key takeaways:

1. Each Italian state has slightly different rules in the marketing of pharmaceuticals depending on the region.

2. GDPR does not explicitly mention A.I. because the regulation came into being before A.I. was broadly known and the law is vague on prescriptions.

3. Pharmaceutical companies in Europe are risk adverse in Europe and interpret GRPR in the most conservative manner, which means applying a limitation on the usage of data.
