WebMD

pharmaphorum speaks with Cavan Redmond, CEO of leading online health information services provider WebMD, to hear more about its activities, understand where he see the digital healthcare space heading and what lessons can be learned for pharma.

Health has been a popular topic on the internet since its very earliest days, with research showing that around 80% of web users search for information relating to it online, a figure that has been remarkably consistent over the last 10 years¹.

It is therefore no surprise that the number of channels providing health and wellness information has grown exponentially over this period.

Astride them sits WebMD, the self-labelled ‘leading provider of health information services, serving consumers, physicians, other healthcare professionals, employers and health plans’ and at its helm, since May 2012, stands Chief Exec Cavan Redmond.
