iSFE Tracker yields actionable, competitive intelligence that enables Marketing, Brand, and Sales teams to maximize their strengths and recognize opportunities versus competitors by HCP specialty and therapy area. Our data provides insights that enable Sales and Marketing to influence clinical and prescribing behaviors through optimal use of the iPad.

The iSFE Tracker takes measurement to a new level by providing deeper insight into the skills of sales professionals using the iPad and the impact it has on HCPs clinical decision making.
