Digital Transformation of Healthcare
Pharmaceutical companies are working hard to keep pace with the disruptions brought about by digital technology and a shifting health care landscape. To overcome these challenges, companies must develop digital identity strategies for creating seamless, safe and compliant customer journeys.
In 2010, Janrain began investing in the pharmaceutical category and now serves a majority of the top pharma companies globally, including Pfizer and Merck. Janrain is the only identity management provider to be HIPAA/HITECH certified. Its technology allows healthcare professionals and life science firms to gain actionable customer insights in a secure manner and streamline their customer interactions for improved patient experience.
Industry Involvement
Janrain is a member of Align Biopharma™, an industry technology standards group that includes 23 leading pharmaceutical companies and technology and service providers dedicated to making it faster and easier for healthcare professionals to connect with the life sciences industry. Align Biopharma has defined an identification and authentication standard that enables single sign-on for HCPs to access online content—including websites, portals, virtual events or webinars—directly from the life sciences companies. It is also defining the standards for consent and preference management so that there is consistency in how HCPs specify communication preferences with each company— an essential component for companies that do business in the EU and must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
When Janrain announced its joining with Align Biopharma, Jim, expressed, “Our excitement around Align Biopharma is first rooted in our passion to innovate in digital identity, but then also in our passion to collaborate and share those innovations with the identity industry. Janrain’s commitment to open standards began when we helped form the OpenID foundation. We’re very eager to contribute our pharma learning’s from over the past seven years and to help advance not only the HCP’s experiences but patients’ experiences and our client organizations’ experiences.”
Aiming towards Future Goals
Janrain envisions a future where patients and healthcare providers will move seamlessly and safely between their in-person visits, web and mobile properties and connected digital healthcare devices. The process combines security, privacy, marketing, data infrastructure, and application technologies to create simple and safe experiences that improve healthcare outcomes.
