Patient centricity: A defining imperative in healthcare
As patient expectations evolve and regulatory bodies demand greater transparency, the pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a profound transformation in terms of patient centricity. Our latest white paper, “The Evolution of Patient Centricity in Pharma (Pre-2020 to 2025): From Aspiration to Embedded Reality,” explores how patient centricity has shifted from a buzzword to a strategic imperative across clinical trials, data governance, Medical Affairs, marketing, and patient support.
This resource provides a comprehensive overview of how pharmaceutical companies are incorporating patient voices into every stage of the product lifecycle. With real-world examples, data-backed insights, and forward-looking frameworks, the white paper makes a compelling case for why patient centricity is now the gold standard and not just a goal.

How we put patients at the center of healthcare
At Cactus Life Sciences, we care deeply about the importance of collaborating with patients and caregivers across the drug development lifecycle to make it more patient-centric. This accelerates the process of developing, producing, and distributing data in ways that enhance comprehension, amplify significance, and inspire decisive action.
We believe in the following 3 Cs to achieve true patient centricity:
Collaboration: Close collaboration with patients in early development of clinical studies adds value and avoids pitfalls and protocol amendments.
Co-creation: Including patients in lexicon and plain language document/summary/material development increases relevance and understanding.
Continuous improvement: Monitoring, measuring, and refining strategies and tactics enable seamless transitions from one phase to the next.
Involving patients and practicing the principle of patient centricity from the start is shown to increase engagement while reducing costs. Take a look at our patient inclusion guide, which will help you plan how to leverage patient advisors at every stage of the product lifecycle.
