A 2003 World Health Organization report found that only 50% of chronic patients adequately comply with their medical regimen in developed countries, and the number was even lower in developing countries, making lack of adherence a serious issue for healthcare providers worldwide.

“We know that nearly three in four patients are non-adherent to their medication in some way,” said in a statement Tommy Bramley, President of Lash Group.

 

 

Medisafe states its research shows patients who use its platform refill their prescriptions as much as 17% more than non-users. As part of the partnership, Medisafey will identify "at risk" patients for Lash and help provide them with visibility into the approval and shipment status of their medication.
