Compliance for Life is a medication dosing and behavioral intervention tool. With Compliance for Life medical providers can assess their patients' compliance scores, quickly identify patients most at risk for non-compliance and provide automated yet relevant and personalized interventions by phone, SMS text messaging and email. Patients are supported by their personal health networks of family members or health coaches who support their compliance needs and encourage healthy behaviors. iReminder's coaching and reminder services help patients manage chronic diseases, which affect over 130 million Americans and account for 70% of deaths at an annual cost of $1.3 trillion. "We are pleased that after evaluating more than twenty programs, Kaiser Permanente selected Compliance for Life to be featured in the Medication Adherence Grand Rounds program," says Amy J. Yoffie, CEO of iReminder. "By providing scalable interventions that focus on a patient's specific adherence barrier, our technology dramatically alters the medication adherence landscape."
