In most countries, patients have little consumer choice in the frequency and type of medicines to take as mostly, doctors make the decisions. The vast majority of patients do not switch brands if the prescribed therapy yields satisfactory results, therefore the initial choice of the drug is crucial. Branded drug manufacturers focus marketing efforts on physicians: their sales representatives discuss product claims and clinical evidence and often distribute samples. According to a study by the European Commission, the continuous growth of perindopril’s patient base is due to the existence of the growing group of loyal doctors.

Technologies that are patient-centric are found to be most effective in patient engagement as they support patients in efforts to be healthy and provide input to providers on how patients are doing when not in the clinic. Interactive voice response calls, emails, texts, letters, mobile app medication reminders, and one-on-one pharmacist outreach and consultation are being adopted to aid patient adherence. Reasons for abandonment in patient engagement include Health care team/health system-related factors such as lack of knowledge and training in treatment management and/or an inadequate understanding of the disease.

Use cases of technology tools for patient engagement can be improved by focusing on technologies that provide better integration between technology and organizational engagement strategies, allow tighter integration with clinical workflows, are easier-to-use. Future areas of focus for patient engagement technology companies are easier to use products (50 percent), integration with clinical workflows (50 percent), more effective products (28 percent), promote value to patients (27 percent), promote value proposition to payers (26 percent), and lower-cost products for 21 percent.
