1. We can.
Poor medication adherence can be costly and
dangerous, especially with patients who need to
take their medication exactly as prescribed. US payers
and governments spend $198 billion annually on
hospitalizations due to medication non-adherence. It is
becoming increasingly critical to develop affordable
adherence strategies for treating the costliest and
highest-risk patients, many of whom require more than
a simple text message to optimize behavior.
Optimizing medication adherence: AiCure has developed
an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that visually confirms
medication ingestion over any smartphone. This form of
virtual medication monitoring has been designed to reduce
the risk of hospitalization by ensuring that the right patient
is taking the right medication at the right time - thus
ensuring continuity of care from the hospital or clinic to the
home. The interactive technology can be downloaded as an
app onto any mobile device and is designed to adapt to
patient behavior over time.
The technology visually identifies medication type and
dose, the patient based on facial recognition, and the act
of ingestion. No manual review is required. Sophisticated
algorithms and advanced features detect diversion and
check for duplicate enrollment. The process is entirely
software-based; no widgets, no custom hardware, and no
change to the manufacturing process.
Encouraging patient behavior: The software takes just a
few seconds to use and adapts to the cognitive and
linguistic capabilities of the patient through video and audio
prompts. Like a personal trainer, it provides reminders,
instructions, positive reinforcement, and micro-incentives
linked to behavior. Patient privacy is maintained through
blurred and encrypted data. Patients can easily and
securely dose at home without the disruption of having to
travel to a clinic.
Patient outreach and intervention: Adherence data are
transmitted in real time and accessible through a secure
HIPAA-compliant dashboard. Care providers and
centralized patient outreach teams may decide whether
a lapse in adherence is atypical or part of larger trend that
requires intervention. And because the dashboard has an
integrated suite of secure communications (voice over IP,
text messaging, direct to patient emailing), the patient can
be easily contacted. The timing and method of these
interventions may be tracked and correlated to patient
outcomes. Resources are focused on those who need it
most.
Effective, scalable, affordable: All these features work
together to optimize medication adherence and efficiently
improve the delivery of care. AiCure is enabling the billions
of smartphones around the world with the intelligence to
assist and support patients with their medication.
