Patient's effort for changing and achieving adherence should be supported by specialized compliance programs where the patient comes first. We design and carry out these programs, bearing in mind that our goal is to reinforce patient’s intrinsic motives for a change and clear any issues and doubts.

Reminders
Some of the most common “solutions” to drive medication adherence are low-cost reminder devices like pillboxes, pill bottle strips with toggles and reminder caps. But multiple studies demonstrate that these solutions do not drive improvements in medication adherence. They fail to provide immediate feedback, to alert patients about missed doses or track overall adherence that could improve medication-taking behavior. Recent hardware advancements enable real-time electronic monitoring with internet connected devices, alerting patients, healthcare providers, and family members of missed medication events. The high cost of these devices and the challenges of integrating the collected data within clinical care all present barriers to widespread implementation outside of research studies.

Training
Patient training is the first step of engagement. A patient who knows treatment’s impact, disease status and official information is more responsible on following the doctor’s orders and more committed to outcomes.

Home-test Automation
Integrating every required medical and medical test device either hardware or software, we transform the MDStation™ into a Health Measurements Hub. We log every useful data and we enrich the patient health record with valued Real World Data.
Real World Data (referring specifically to any type of data not collected in a randomized clinical trial) can complement these to fill the knowledge gap between controlled clinical trials results and clinical practice needs in real environments. They can provide new insights into disease patterns and help improve the safety and effectiveness of health interventions.

Health Coaching
The process of Health Coaching focuses on guiding the patient on track according to the following steps:
• meeting the patient at his/her position
identification of patient’s stage and of appropriate starting point
• creating opportunities for success
encouraging realistic steps and goals
• reinforcing potential and positive characteristics
• enhancing adherence to treatment
• providing emotional care
• monitoring and evaluating progress

Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)
Though medical technology allows to measure physical, physiological or biochemical data of the patient; it is not able to give all the data about the treatment or the disease. Some data can be obtained only from the patient. Such data included in PROs.
PROs are useful for the patients, patient-family members and loved ones, healthcare providers, payers, regulatory authorities, technological assessors and researchers. The PRO data is also useful for healthcare providers and payers as they make a decision with patients on prescribing of treatments/therapy and pay for the treatment respectively. Information obtained from PRO can also be used by regulatory authorities (e.g. FDA) and technology assessors [e.g. National institute for health and clinical excellence (NICE)].
