PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA, April 18 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Lathian, a leading provider of online interactive marketing and sales solutions for the life sciences industry, today announced the introduction of its new and innovative user interface design. All features of its next generation design are available now and are just one of the ways that Lathian is making brand messages easy to absorb, remember, and act upon.

Lathian anticipates marketplace changes

Lathian recently conducted a survey of frequent viewers of online programs. These healthcare professionals asked for tools that would make learning more efficient and personalized. Lathian responded and is pleased to announce the integration of "non-linear story lines" that it calls Precise Learning. The unique features of Precise Learning provide healthcare professionals the ability to choose their topics of interest or provide the opportunity for brand managers to segment their audience and offer customized messages relevant and specific to multiple segments. As a consequence, the content adapts dynamically to maximize learning throughout the online program. Other enhancements are: "Save My Place" bookmarks that allow participants to jump back in where they left off; and "Continuous Polling" that allows participants to rate each and every topic. The result: the viewer experiences a personalized and compelling session that effects behavioral change -- resulting in greater market share.

Next generation sample features include

--  Messages are dynamically re-ordered to align with a physician's stated     goals of treatment. The way in which a participant answers an assessment     question determines which topics are presented next, or even if a topic is     added or omitted.  --  Brand managers may specify that additional clinical trial results be     shown to pediatricians, but not to primary care physicians.     

Usability puts the customer at the center of design

Clarify communications. Simplify the experience. Utilize common sense technology to enrich the experience. Lathian makes the eLearning experience as straightforward as possible through a set of usability features in its content design. These enhancements enable the healthcare professional to experience a personalized learning session, which is the most effective way to engage participants, allow learning to occur, and ultimately to change behavior.

"We are pleased to introduce these innovative features," said V. Brewster Jones, CEO of Lathian. "Convenience and ease of use are vital to online communication with all healthcare professionals. Lathian continues to be a pioneer in creating next generation tools to support effective online communication and continuous learning."
