Our Mission
The patient “no-show” problem has produced significantly worse health outcomes for patients, created stress and frustration for clinicians, and drained billions of dollars from health organizations.
Even worse, while many doctors, nurses, and administrators recognize the nuance of the problem, product innovations have been slow to meet the challenge.
We’re changing all of that.
Supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH) research and innovation awards, we’ve attracted a talented team of mission-driven researchers, engineers, and product leaders who are translating innovative science on patient adherence and behavior change into a life-changing solution.
All to meet our mission: Eliminate the “No-Show” problem in healthcare for good.
For patients, we’ve developed personalized supportive interventions for adherence because we know that missed appointments are most often the result of a combination of factors that disproportionately impact the most vulnerable populations.
We also recognize that missed appointments represent a tremendous challenge for healthcare providers who work tirelessly to improve the lives of the most patients possible but are limited by time and resources.
How would your practice look if you had the equivalent of two extra hours each day to educate, motivate, and support your patients?
