The digital healthcare landscape is undergoing a shift toward more accessible tools, greater patient engagement, and more efficient medication adherence.

The ability to engage and educate patients in real-time is a major advantage of digital health solutions. This includes providing providers with the ability to send push notifications, live chat, and other support capabilities. As individuals are already engaging in digital channels, pharma can consider adding patient support components to their digital offerings.

In addition to creating more access to patient support, the digital landscape has also made patient-facing treatment regimens more achievable. These changes are impacting how patients are using their medications.

More patients are utilizing patient assistance programs and digital tools to better understand how to use their medications. For example, patient assistance programs are essential for patients who have limited access to treatment regimens. For example, more patients are turning to digital tools to better understand how to use their medications. This includes providing patients with easy-to-understand videos and other visual content to better understand the how and why of treatment regimens.

As more patients are using their medications as prescribed, and in the manner prescribed, the need for patient support is lessening. Greater adherence to treatment regimens and improved health outcomes are resulting in patients becoming more proactive in their health. This includes more patients communicating with their providers, and taking a more active role in their care.

As the pandemic winds down, the need for patient support is likely to shift from ‘what to do’ to ‘how to do’.
