The Emotional Equation: Tackling Non-Adherence with Patient Experience
In the pharmaceutical industry, we develop drugs to treat the underlying disease, not just the symptoms. Yet, when it comes to adherence strategies, we often focus on treating the symptoms of non-adherence rather than addressing the root causes. To effectively improve adherence, we must focus on treating the “pathology” of non-adherence, which involves enhancing emotional engagement, providing emotional support, and fostering patient ownership over their health.
The Power of Play
“Play is the work of childhood.”
Jean Piaget, the famous child psychologist, captures the essence of curiosity and exploring with these six words.
Mr. Rogers expanded on this a bit, to further clarify: “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning.”
Aaron J. Horowitz
Aaron’s superpower is that his passion is infectious - he gets people excited about doing well by doing good. Growing up with human growth hormone deficiency inspired his mission to create technology that puts patients at the center of their own healthcare.
Aaron is a maker at heart; on a daily basis, you can catch him switching easily from building new business partnerships to carving foam prototypes. Perhaps more than anything, Aaron loves being in the ocean - surfing, diving, and splashing around.
Joel B. Schwartz
Joel leads engineering and development, from prototype to mass production. Day to day, he draws from a background in mechanical engineering and clinical research, an endless curiosity, and his drive to improve quality of life for people in their most vulnerable moments.
If we have to choose one, Joel’s superpower is his curiosity and tenacity to wrangle the unknown, the complex, and the abstract into structure and process. Two of his favorite hobbies are fly fishing and cooking.
