Point of Care Marketing Summit 2025: Optimizing POC Strategy

Point of Care Measurement: Understanding the Path Forward

POC measurement lacks standardization, making it harder to compare performance to other channels and downplaying its value.
Data standardization across vendors and platforms will streamline measurement and help define POC’s real value.
Significant inventory changes mid-campaign can distort results, especially in Marketing Mix Modeling.
The future of POC measurement will require standardized definitions, better input quality, and shared measurement goals.

Family caregivers are widely overlooked care team members, fulfilling essential medical, emotional, and logistical work with little training or support.

Simple support, like screening and referrals, can dramatically improve caregiver well-being and related outcomes, even without increased therapy use.
