HealthBeacon partners with Bionical Solutions to offer a digitally connected Patient Support Programme in the UK
(Dublin IE, London UK- June 10th, 2019) HealthBeacon, a medication adherence technology company, announced today their partnership with Bionical Solutions, a leading patient support provider in the UK market, to provide smart tools for managing medication and a connected platform to patients across the UK.
This exciting partnership will combine HealthBeacon’s smart technology together with a targeted outreach patient support programme that will significantly improve patient adherence delivering a truly digitally connected Patient Support Programme.
HealthBeacon has developed the world’s first smart sharps bin for tracking patient adherence to chronic injectable medication. The smart sharps bin provides patients with an easy, elegant, safe, and connected way to dispose of their used injections. The smart sharps unit has been globally validated by regulatory authorities and pharma and is launched in 13 markets.
Prof. Doug Veale, Consultant Rheumatologist stated: “The HealthBeacon technology has had a profound impact in helping my patients adhere to their medication schedule”.
Poor adherence to treatment of chronic diseases is a worldwide problem of striking magnitude with adherence to long-term therapy for chronic illnesses in developed countries averaging 50%. The smart sharps bin system has made it easier for patients, using injectable medications, to stay on track with their treatment schedule. This has resulted in improved persistence to treatment by 20-30% within the first year.
HealthBeacon’s CEO, Jim Joyce commented “The signing of this partnership is a major milestone in making our technology accessible to patients in the UK. HealthBeacon is delighted to partner with Bionical, an industry leader in patient support programmes.
