Through our two-way messaging platform, patients, case managers and others can track health conditions, treatments and activities and graph their success. Our dynamic input and reporting system encourages patients to integrate good health practices into their daily lives."
Jean Rice, RN, President of AHM, adds, "Action Healthcare's care managers will use Life:WIRE to enhance our patient communication and compliance strategies for those enrolled in case, disease and predictive management programs. We anticipate that patients will embrace Life:WIRE, providing an even higher level of engagement in our medical management programs, and transforming their lives for the better."
Healthcare consultant Joel V. Brill, MD, notes, "medication adherence, lifestyle factors and laboratory monitoring are important in the successful management of a patient's condition. Life:WIRE enhances care through its seamless, real-time interactions, providing patients with on-going control of their health status while facilitating their personal responsibility."
