easy
properly, Medisafe is committed to changing this scenario
for better. With its medication adherence app, Medisafe has
been improving adherence significantly.
Another severe problem that Medisafe addresses is that of
dangerous drug interactions (DDI). Recent estimates
indicate that DDIs cause nearly 74,000 emergency room
visits and 195,000 hospitalizations each year in the USA
alone. Since its introduction a year ago, Medisafe's drug
interaction feature has warned patients of more than
100,000 potentially dangerous drug interactions.
A ‘Client-First’ Company
Always a client-first company, Medisafe has ensured to
offer patients and its customers the best. A testimony to this
is the app’s 4.6 rating, out of 5, on the app stores. Many
reviewers have talked about their stories - of how Medisafe
has saved their lives, or how it has dramatically improved
their quality of life by making medication management
much simpler.
On the business side, the company offers its pharma
partners a way to gain a much better understanding of the
behavior of their patients, and a way to engage with them
and improve adherence. Addressing the benefits this
provides, a prominent client of Medisafe- Leif Moll, Head
of General Medicine Strategy & Portfolio Expansion, at the
biopharma business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany,
said: “With Medisafe, we would like to help patients with
chronic conditions to better organize their medication,
therefore improve adherence to their regimen and ultimately
achieve the best possible treatment outcomes.”
Outshining its Peers
Medisafe’s success puts it on a different level from
competing medication management platform solutions, as
with 4.5 million registered users it is by far the leading
platform. The ease of use and intuitive interface, the fact
that the company has addressed all therapeutic areas,
unique features like Medfriend, and the drug interaction
checker – all make Medisafe uniquely effective. Its large
and highly engaged user base makes it particularly
attractive to pharma partners, as the company can provide
insights into much larger groups of patients.
Life at Medisafe
At Medisafe, ownership is a central value. Everyone who
works at Medisafe has to take ownership of projects and
overcome new challenges, every day. The biggest
opportunity that working at Medisafe provides is to
improve people’s quality of life, and even save lives. The
company gets amazing feedback every day with people
sharing incredible stories, and it has made it a habit that the
entire team sees these as a major motivation for everyone.
Medisafe also provides individual support for employee
development. “Ideal leadership is inspiring and visionary,
driving the team to greater successes, while giving them the
freedom to pursue their creativity and initiatives,” asserts
the CEO.
Future Endeavors
Over a third of older adults in the U.S. regularly use 5 or
more medications or supplements. Over 100 million people
who, if they used a medication reminder and drug
interaction checker – would be healthier and safer, and the
global number is many times higher. Driven by the same
goal, Medisafe wants to reach not 4.5 million users, but 450
million users, and it is confident that this is achievable. Shor
asserts, “We strive for a future in which people no longer
die or are hospitalized because of medication mistakes, and
we believe Medisafe can help make it happen.”
