The service

What Medcast Media is

Medcast Media delivers AI-driven audio synopses of medical research and news to our users.

Specialist doctors subscribe by specialty and disease area. Research reaches them as audio they can listen to between patients, on the ward round, or in the car — not as another journal alert waiting to be read.

The products

Four apps, one platform

Two apps put research in front of doctors, one keeps industry staff across Australian regulatory news, and this portal is where sponsors run their programme.

  • iOS app

    Doctors

    Native app; audio playback, offline, push notifications

    The specialist's feed, filtered to the specialty and disease areas they chose at sign-up.

    Audio plays offline, so a commute or a hospital basement is not an obstacle.

    Sponsored articles run as featured cards above the journal feed.

  • Web app / PWA

    Doctors

    Same content in the browser, installable

    The same feed and the same audio, with nothing to install — and installable to the home screen for doctors who want it there.

  • Industry app

    Pharma / industry staff

    Free Australian regulatory feed — TGA, PBS, PBAC and others. Audio-first, hourly refresh, mobile-number registration

    Read, favourite, or listen to regulatory updates as audio. Stay current from the car, during your commute, or between meetings.

    The feed refreshes every hour, scanning all sources so you always have the latest regulatory updates at your fingertips.

    The Industry app is completely free. Register with just your mobile number and start accessing Australian regulatory updates immediately.

Why this is different

A channel you own, end to end

Most pharmaceutical communication rents attention: a banner someone scrolls past, an email blast to a bought list, a stand at a congress. Sponsoring a specialty on Medcast Media is not a placement. For twelve months you hold the channel itself — the audience, the content that goes into it, the messages that reach them, and the data that comes back out.

Own the channel. Add to it. Message through it. Export analytics from it. A unique and powerful tool for medical communications.

  1. Own the channel

    One specialty, one country, twelve months, exclusive. Every doctor who signs up for that specialty in that market is your audience — and no competitor can buy a place beside you in it.

    • Sole sponsor for the specialty and market, first come first served
    • Preload your own doctor list by CSV and invite by email or printed QR sheet
    • Your brand on the sign-up, and on the portal your team logs into
  2. Put your content in it

    Publish straight into the specialist feed — not alongside it. Write the article, attach audio, images and video, tag it by disease area, and choose whether it runs as a featured card or in the journal feed.

    • Audio generated for every article, so it reaches doctors who never sit down to read
    • Featured placement, or in-feed
    • Campaign start and end dates, so content appears and retires on your schedule
    • A live preview of exactly what the doctor will see, before you publish

  3. Message them directly

    Reach the same doctors in the same portal by push notification, email or SMS. Opt-outs, delivery and failures are handled and recorded for you.

    • Push, email and SMS to your sponsored audience
    • Target the whole audience or a group within it
    • Opt-outs respected automatically; delivery and failures recorded
  4. Take the data back

    See who engaged and how — then take it with you. Engagement is not a number on a slide at the end of the campaign; it is a dataset you can put into your own systems while the campaign is still running.

    • Unique readers, time spent, and the read-versus-listen split per article
    • Activity and growth over time, and the hours your audience is actually active
    • Export as CSV, or pull it into your warehouse or CRM
