pharmaSuisse Publishes Digital Edition of Fakten & Zahlen with Interactive Charts

pharmaSuisse has released a fully digital edition of its annual “Fakten & Zahlen” report featuring responsive interactive charts that bring healthcare data to life. Swiss digital agency Liip led the transformation by creating a modular web-based solution built on blökkli and Drupal to deliver animated donut charts, bar graphs, line charts, icon diagrams and interactive maps.

Traditional print layouts were reimagined for screens of every size. Liip and design partner Usable Brands distilled complex visualizations into reusable components and then iterated with a digital prototype to refine the user experience. Chart data remained flexible throughout development thanks to test sets from previous years and adjustments as real figures arrived.

A mobile-first approach ensures seamless interaction on smartphones while desktop users benefit from full-scale displays and enhanced labeling. Small datasets hide labels until hovered and lengthy line charts scroll horizontally on compact devices. Donut chart labels auto-scale based on slice size to maintain readability.

Editorial teams now manage data and presentation entirely within the blökkli CMS. Structured CSV uploads feed into an interactive editor where staff select color palettes, tweak layouts with sliders and assign page breaks for PDF exports, streamlining what was once a print-only workflow.

Continuous updates are now possible, and Liip and pharmaSuisse are already planning a second development phase focused on richer interactions and improved readability. Readers can explore the new “Fakten & Zahlen” visualizations on the pharmaSuisse website.
