Compliance for Life™
Medication Dosing Reminders Go Global
Personalized Reminders Delivered to Clinical
Trial Participants and
International Travelers Worldwide
WESTFIELD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—June, 20,
2008— Compliance
for Life™ is going global.
iReminder, LLC,
announces that Compliance for Life
now delivers dosing
reminders anywhere in the world by phone and SMS
text message, as well as email. Compliance
for Life is a scalable, patient-centric
system that reminds and motivates people to fill,
refill and take their prescriptions, go to medical
appointments and complete other medically-necessary
tasks.
Worldwide clinical trial participants and international
travelers have full access to Compliance
for Life, including
its personalization features, scheduling flexibility,
two-way communications and personal
healthcare networks. As in the U.S., international
users reply whether or not they have taken their medication
and their progress can be monitored by family members,
health coaches, medical providers or principal investigators.
“We are filling an unmet need for better medication
therapy management by delivering dosing reminders
to people around the world via all three contact methods
– phone, SMS text messages and email,”
said Amy
J. Yoffie, CEO of iReminder. “Users
don’t need any special equipment to receive
or reply to reminders, which are delivered in the
recipient’s language. Letting users pick
the language of their reminders is yet another unique
personalization feature of Compliance
for Life to motivate ongoing compliance
anywhere in the world.”
All core personalization features are available in
any language, including reminders delivered in the
voice of the person who sets them up, messages that
can be as specific as needed for the person receiving
them and a customizable delivery sequence that “finds”
users even when their daily routines change.
Messages can be recorded and delivered in any language.
Yoffie added: “Here in the U.S. health plans
are adopting pay-for-performance
(P4P) incentives, encouraging providers to improve
Rx compliance
with proactive medication therapy management (MTM).
Value-based
health plans are focusing on up-front spending
that avoids long-term, higher costs. Compliance
for Life helps patients better understand
and comply with their medication and treatments to
prevent chronic conditions from escalating, improve
their health and reduce costs across all healthcare
sectors.
iReminder markets Compliance for Life
to managed care organizations, pharmacy
benefit managers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and
distributors, pharmacy chains and companies with self-insured
health benefits that in turn distribute it to their
constituents. It also is marketed to companies conducting
clinical trials and government agencies.
iReminder offers an SaaS (software as a service)
model so that licensees can adopt Compliance
for Life’s patent-pending technology
without burdening their IT departments. By using
a proprietary VXML-based IVR system, Compliance
for Life can send phone and text reminders
through customers’ trunk lines to take advantage
of their low telecommunications fees. Licensees
may private label the system.
