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.

A CHF 250m target with further savings to unlock

Helsana estimates CHF 76m in 2024 savings against a CHF 250m annual target. The report points to further potential from generics and biosimilars, while noting that some measures may take effect over the following years.

See routine risk sooner

Adherence data can give care teams an earlier view of routine risk—an Adherlo workflow opportunity, not a measured outcome from the Helsana report.

Focus support where it counts

Exception-based workflows can help teams focus support where medication routines appear inconsistent.

Turn adherence into action

Clearer medication routines may create better moments for refill, substitution, and care discussions.

Improving patient adherence

At the heart of Adherlo is a smart, connected pillbox that makes adherence simple, intuitive, and measurable. Combined with a powerful mobile app, Adherlo creates a closed loop of reminders, confirmations, and insights for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.

Personalized Schedules

Simple and tailored to each patient's treatment plan.

Realtime Tracking

Intakes are tracked at the point of the intake.

Positive Reinforcement

Instant feedback encourages healthy routines.

Simplicity and Ease of Use

Simple user interfaces, guided processes, and tools like barcode scanners and eMediplan integration.

Personalized Pillboxes

Medication compartments matching the patient's intake plan.

Secure Data Sharing

Patients decide with whom they share their data (Family, Doctors, Insurances).

Why this matters to insurances

Adherlo helps make medication routines and intake records easier to review for health insurers and providers. Any effects on health outcomes or costs depend on the individual, treatment, and care context:

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

With anonymized, aggregated data, insurers can gain better visibility into population-level or medication specific, adherence trends and identify high-risk and opportunities early.

Lower medication waste

Increased adherence means fewer unused prescriptions, less waste, and better resource planning.
