With the rapid expansion of social media throughout a variety of business environments, the healthcare industry has embraced many of these platforms, designed to promote their products and services to healthcare professionals.

David Duplay, Founder and CEO of MedTera founded healtheo360, in 2012 after his sister-in-law was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer and his mother began to experience the crippling effects of Alzheimer's disease. After experiencing less then great results with traditional support groups, due in part by generational gaps as well as well as the geographical location of some groups, Duplay turned to his background in healthcare and technology to build a community that leverages the best of physical and virtual support.

"Through the MedTera and healtheo360 partnership, we will now be able to provide our clients with an enhanced integrated solution which brings together the most important stakeholders in the healthcare delivery continuum: Patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals," said Duplay.

In addition to building brand awareness, pharmaceutical companies gain a better understanding of the patient journey through the longitudinal view of the patient's condition.
