Transforming Pharma–Doctor Engagement During the COVID-19 Crisis

During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, pharmaceutical companies across the world faced a critical operational disruption. Traditional in-person doctor visits by Medical Representatives (MRs) were halted due to lockdowns, safety regulations, and the necessity to protect healthcare professionals, company employees, and the wider community. MindInfiniti Solutions identified this market gap early and partnered with Vimix Technologies to engineer a solution that would keep the healthcare information ecosystem running—without physical interaction.
