When patients don’t adhere to recommended treatments, studies show it can lead to a reduction in their quality of life while contributing to the progression of their condition. In the U.S., for example, poor medication adherence has been linked to approximately 125,000 deaths per year and an estimated healthcare cost of $100 billion annually.1
71% of caregivers want accessible technology to support their patient care.2
60 million U.S. residents went online in search of health information in the past year.3
By 2029, over 20% of the U.S. population will be over 65. More people will need access to more health information.4
There are 4 billion prescriptions filled in the U.S. every year. With 2-3 pages of patient education printed per prescription, literally tons of paper could be saved by sending information electronically.5
60 million people in the U.S. speak a language other than English.6
With access to patient education online, patients and caregivers will be able to reach important drug information, when they need it, and they can come back to it when questions arise.
