The Problem: Failure to take meds properly is widely regarded as America's second "drug problem." Nearly half of prescriptions are taken incorrectly.

This offsets the drug's benefits and can even result in harm to the patient.

Taking meds improperly is commonplace. No age group is exempt. It crosses all demographic groups with huge economic impact to patients, family, caregivers, and society.     


Without help in remembering, nonadherence with medicine results in:

• Extra ER visits
• Hospitalizations
• Costlier treatments
• More distress to family and caregivers
• More prolonged pain and suffering for the patient

Nonadherence increases with the number of meds and doses per day. At four doses per day, only 40% get it right. Most commonly, simple forgetfulness is reported as the reason for nonadherence.

The Solution:
has shown in clinical trials to be highly effective with patients who want to take meds on time. People in three clinical trials showed significant improvement in following their pill regimens.
