Adherence improves health and reduces cost

Medication non-adherence is one of the most preventable causes of worsening chronic conditions, hospital readmissions, and unnecessary healthcare spending. Adherlo helps tackle this challenge at its core—by improving how people take their medication, every single day.

Insurer cost opportunity

CHF 174mof the 2024 savings target remains open

Helsana's 2025 report points to a gap insurers can make actionable with earlier medication-routine signals, targeted support, and cost-aware adherence workflows.

Make adherence risk visible earlier

Daily intake records give prevention teams a signal before claims data arrives late.

Focus support where it matters

Exception-based workflows help insurers route coaching to members and medicines with visible routine risk.

Connect routines to cost-aware care

Substitution and refill conversations become easier to support when medication routines are clear.

By improving adherence, Adherlo contributes directly to better health outcomes and significantly reducing costs for health insurers and providers:

Fewer Complications & Hospitalizations

Patients who stick to their regimens are less likely to suffer complications that require expensive interventions.

Improved Chronic Disease Management

Adherlo supports patients with long-term conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease—where consistent medication makes the biggest difference.

Data-Driven Risk Reduction
