LAS VEGAS – Medisafe, which offers a medication management mobile health app with more than 2.6 million users, launched Tuesday at HIMSS16 Medisafe Providers, a new system that enables physicians, care teams and pharmacists to track their patients’ medication adherence between visits. Using Medisafe Providers, caregivers also can view adherence alongside patient biometric measurements – including blood pressure, blood glucose, weight and others – that Medisafe app users can self-report or bring into the mobile app through various connected devices.

Medisafe Providers extends the Medisafe app platform beyond its consumer focus by enabling healthcare professionals to see how their treatment plans are working and to make any needed changes as soon as they identify a problem, helping patients to avoid unnecessary visits and hospitalizations, the company said.

The Medisafe app is designed to make it easier for patients to follow the most complicated medication schedules; enable care collaboration between a patient, their family and caregivers; and deliver content and services personalized to specific conditions and situations.

“Medisafe Providers reinforces Medisafe’s patient-centric vision by better connecting our users to those guiding their care,” said Omri Shor, CEO and co-founder of Medisafe. “Since the beginning, our users have valued sharing their adherence reports with their doctors and told stories of learning about Medisafe from people on their care teams.”

Medisafe will be demonstrating Medisafe Providers at HIMSS16 in the HX360 Pavilion booth A-06.
