The BHS
Digital Health Hub

Bridge Health Solutions (BHS) is pioneering advanced medication adherence solutions through its innovative platform that combines smart dispensing technology, mobile applications, and comprehensive care integration.

The Medication Challenge

• Studies show that 50-60% of patients with chronic illnesses miss doses, take the wrong doses, or drop off treatment within the first year.

• Approximately 10% of hospitalizations in older patients are considered avoidable through improved medication adherence.

• Poor adherence contributes to more than $500 billion in avoidable healthcare costs annually in the United States alone.

• Nonadherence is associated with 125,000 potentially preventable deaths each year in the United States alone.

• BHS has created several platforms to solve the problems associated with medication non-adherence for a wide range of markets, including people dealing with chronic illness, elder care and hospital-at-home initiatives.

• Reminders can be customized to be sent multiple times via the App, SMS, or email to both users and their caregivers.

• If action on a reminder is missed by a user, caregivers can be alerted so they can follow-up.

• Scanning can also be used to track caregivers and PSW support to ensure expected visits are happening and medication support is consistent and reliable.

Remy Supports The User In Many Ways

• With carefully designed screens and menus the user is taken through all the stages of consumption and confirimation.

• Confirmation through barcode and QR code scanning helps to ensure medication are in hand and increases the likelihood that consumption will be performed.

• Additionally they can also provide feedback and broad indications of their health that day after taking a medication.

• Patients can review their upcoming schedules and review their past consumption history to confirm whether they have taken their medications or not.
