Resumo(s)

The pharmaceutical industry is crucial in modern society, helping people live longer and better through scientific research and modern medications. In this industry, there is a concept that face-to-face interactions between a sales representative and a physician are more effective and efficient in promoting products. It is important to note that in this industry, the target customers are physicians, and all the marketing efforts are focused on convincing them to prescribe their medications. This study explores whether machine learning can help determine the most effective combination of communication channels. These channels may include webinars, email engagement, social media, or in-person interactions. Can machine learning models suggest the optimal combination of physician communication channels? This study uses three datasets. The first one provides interactions among physicians and different communication channels. The second one shares the prescription data from physicians, while the third one offers basic demographic information from physicians. The study discovered that machine learning could enhance CRM planning by applying digital channels to improve communication with physicians. It identified the classifier chain as the simplest and most effective model for predicting the mix of communication channels. Different machine learning methods and algorithms were applied to understand their use from different perspectives. Other algorithms that could be utilized in future research are also highlighted, revealing alternative approaches to addressing the issue to propose a combination of communication channels.
