Chronic Diseases cost $1T and result in 1.7M deaths. There is a need for better treatment compliance given that 50% of chronic disease patients do not take their medications as prescribed. Medication therapies are a key intervention to supporting chronic disease patients, but patients lack health literacy and access to care. This results in healthcare complications like ER visits, hospitalizations, and deaths, due to drug confusion, medication errors and non-adherence costing the system $528B. Pharmacists, being the medication experts are underutilized and need elevation of status so they can deliver clinical services. illuminate.health is taking a pharmacist-led, care management approach to helping patients optimize medications at home. illuminate.health's digital tools have been built following (MDM) Minimally disruptive medicine principles to reduce the work associated with self-care management at home. The clinical decision support and automation tools help pharmacists with patient monitoring, productivity, better data, and ease of communication with their patients via video and chat.
