Abstract:
The patient adherence challenge isn’t new. Healthcare providers, pharmacists, and pharmaceutical companies have been trying to get patients to take their medicines for decades. However, it’s different today. Why is it different? Life-saving specialty medicines come with high prices and high expectations, a broad collection of digital enabled tools and technologies are available, and our understanding of why patients don’t adhere has improved significantly. These changes create the opportunity for the industry to do better. This talk will address:
The changes that suggest the Patient Adherence challenge should be viewed differently today
The reasons that patients don’t adhere
What we can learn from adherence solutions in the market today
A framework for designing adherence solutions
An argument for why building this capability is valuable
