Innovations in Adherence
For patients, improving medication adherence can both bolster patients’ health as well as revenues. But pharma can’t help realize this objective on its own: adherence is a multi-stakeholder sport. Many of the innovations for adherence improvement are coming from outside of pharma...and sometimes aim to help payers (employers, insurance companies) or others whose incentives are not aligned with those of pharma companies

How can digital communications and patient engagement tools speed recruitment and improve trial outcomes? And how are the pioneering companies pushing the boundaries of what is possible and what gets done?
