What will be the most game-changing catalyst in industry’s quest to become more patient-oriented?
The patients themselves are the game-changing catalyst in the industry’s quest for patient orientation. Industry invests heavily on patient programs and digital solutions with limited understanding of patient behavior. Self-care behavior insight is the core foundation that informs, educates and engages patients, healthcare providers, and industry. It’s about time we invite patients to become contributors to healthcare transformation.
