E-detailing and digital detailing, explained
E-detailing, digital detailing, iDetailing, tablet detailing, CLM — the words overlap and get confused. Here is what each one means, and exactly where an offline e-visual aid app fits in.
What e-detailing actually means
One activity, many names — sorted out for pharma teams.
E-detailing is a medical representative presenting brand and disease information to a doctor on a screen — a tablet or phone — instead of a printed folder. Everything else is a variation on that one idea.
Digital detailing is the same thing said differently. iDetailing and tablet detailing just point at the device. A digital visual aid or e-visual aid is the file or app being shown. And CLM (Closed Loop Marketing) is the wider system that some large companies use to also record which slides a doctor saw.
Where an e-visual aid app fits
RX Design Hub covers the presentation and the design — not the analytics.
The content
We design the brand pages your rep shows — the visual aid itself, built around your molecules and claims.
The app
We set those pages inside a real offline Android app with side brand indexing and division-wise structure.
Not the tracking
We do not run doctor analytics, Rx tracking or a per-seat login system. If you need that, you need a CLM/SFA platform — the app can sit alongside it.
Do you need full CLM software?
A quick, honest way to decide.
If your priority is recording every slide view, integrating with a CRM and managing user seats, that is a CLM or SFA platform — a monthly software subscription. If your priority is a clean, well-designed brand presentation that works offline in any chamber, that is an e-visual aid app. Many teams run both: the platform for reporting, our app content for the actual detailing. See the full app-vs-CLM comparison.
