Docquity Pulse Check 2023
Decoding a Doctor’s Learning and Engagement Habits
Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s largest digital network of more than 400,000 doctors, Docquity collects actionable insights on doctor practice, learning, peer-to-peer interaction and industry engagement preferences. This 2023 market report is based on a comprehensive survey that reached over 2,500 doctors across the region.
Uncover the latest learning and engagement trends of doctors in a 
post-pandemic world, for effective 
doctor targeting strategies.
Doctors are increasingly digital in their practice and learning behaviors
- 75.2% of doctors expect teleconsultation volume to increase next year
- 91.1% of doctors attend digital learning events, despite the return of in-person post-pandemic
Doctors value digital connections with peers and industry
- Doctors in the region interact with peers daily or more, and often digitally
- The majority of doctors engage with industry reps via digital channels at least 50% of the time
Online and offline preferences are not mutually exclusive (and even traditionally in-person learners can be digital)
- Although two dominant learning cohorts exist – digital and in-person learners, in-person learners also use digital channels significantly. For example, doctors who lean more toward in-person learning attended a similar number of Docquity app sessions as their digital peers (8 versus 10 per month)
- However, digital learners are more flexible when it comes to engaging with industry across online (56.9%) and offline (43.1%) channels, while in-person learners prefer offline engagements
