a presentation about a medication reminder mobile

health app

Introduction

Poor medication adherence means that a patient is, for some reason or another, not taking all of
their prescribed medication(s)

Poor medication adherence can increase likelihood of preventable disease progression, increased
hospitalizations, avoidable doctor and emergency room visits, and other results from poor health.

Approximately 125,000 Americans die per year because of complications from poor
medication adherence

Half of all patients do not take their medications as prescribed

According to the NEHI, proper medication adherence and disease management could save
up to $290 billion per year, which equates 13% of health spending in the nation
