Medscape, PulsePoint and WebMD Introduce Moments

Medscape Moments Delivers Average of 150% Lift in New Prescriptions per Exposed HCP; WebMD Moments Delivers 18% Lift in DTC Audience Quality

NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Medscape, PulsePoint and WebMD today announced Moments, a real-time health engagement solution, composed of Medscape Moments and WebMD Moments, activated across the full media plan by PulsePoint.

Medscape Moments detects clinical engagement as it happens on Medscape such as a physician reviewing a drug monograph, researching a condition, or running a query through Medscape AI. WebMD Moments detects consumer engagement as it happens on WebMD, such as symptom research or treatment comparisons. 

PulsePoint's Adaptive Optimization engine activates those first-party intent signals from both environments across the media plan, prioritizing delivery across the full audience toward moments of peak receptivity and readiness. Medscape Moments has on average produced a 150% lift in new prescriptions per exposed HCP versus HCPs not informed by Moments, and DTC optimization including WebMD signals, improved audience quality by 18%.

"Every other vertical has been able to do something health marketing couldn't: time activation to real behavior. Receptivity isn't constant. A doctor reviewing a drug monograph the night before a patient encounter is in a different state than the same doctor a week later," said Parker Noren, SVP Product Strategy. "Moments captures that as it happens on Medscape and WebMD, and PulsePoint acts on it across the full media plan the same day, HCP and DTC. That's what turns broad reach into effective reach. And it held everywhere we ran it: clinician and consumer campaigns, rare disease and high-prevalence conditions. It changed what a health campaign is capable of."

For years, the only way to sharpen targeting beyond reach was claims data, which arrives after the clinical decision it was meant to influence. Medscape Moments and WebMD Moments replace that lag with active intent signals for PulsePoint to act on at the moment of receptivity. 

Medscape Moments and WebMD Moments open to a broader set of pharmaceutical marketers in open beta beginning January 1, 2027.
