We Do Three Things Really Well Medication reminders, personal health record, care community. Text or email reminders – push coming soon

1. Medication Reminders Right medication, right time, right dose. 81% of adults in the U.S. take at least one medication during the week; 27% take at least five. Text, email or push reminders

Noncompliance is Rampant Nearly 50% of the time medications are not taken as prescribed. I forgot to take them I had no symptoms or the symptoms went away I wanted to save money I didn’t believe the drugs were effective I didn’t think I needed to take them I had painful or frightening side effects The drugs prevented me from doing other things I wanted to do Nobody reminded me to keep taking, or to refill prescription I had difficulty getting the prescription filled The drugs tasted or smelled unpleasant I had difficult opening the bottle or swallowing the drug I was confused by all the drugs I had to take 64% 36 35 33 31 28 25 20 20 19 16 15 Failed to Take Rx Drugs Source: Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive

“ Drugs don’t work if people don’t take them .” ― C. Everett Koop, MD

The Annual Cost of Medication Noncompliance $177.4 billion

Reminders Work Studies reveal higher compliance and lower medical costs. Study group: Pediatric liver transplant recipients Multiple professional studies: ' Improved Adherence and Outcomes for Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients by Using Text Messaging ', ' Text-message Reminders to Improve Sunscreen Use ', ' A daily SMS reminder increases adherence to asthma treatment: A three-month follow-up study ', PageMinder Project Summary Report Compliance Rejection Episodes 69% 48% With reminders Without With reminders Without 2 12

2. Maintain a Personal Health Record Centralized health information for better care.

In the past 12 months, 65.7 million people in the U.S. have served as unpaid family caregivers to an adult or child. - AARP, 2009 report, Caregiving in the U.S. 3. Create a Health Team Connect patients, family, healthcare providers. Home Care Doctor Family & Friends Assisted Living Wellness Providers

Surveys in 1997, 1999, and 2000, sponsored by such groups as the AARP, Fortis Investors, and Metropolitan Life Caring for elderly family members costs U.S. employers more than $29 billion/yr .
