ADHERENCE - THE REAL ESSENCE OF DRUG ADMINISTRATION
INTRODUCTION
We have overtime, heard about drug administration. This is just the path via which the drug we’re taking is we meant to pass through to bloodstream, and execute the needed treatment from our prevailing health challenges.
Outside the common means of administration, which is Orally based, medications can be administered; intravenously and intramuscularly; using injections, or topically, etc.
Irrespective of the means of administration; skipping the intake of drugs when they are meant to be taken, according to doctor's prescription.
Such acts has been seen as a norm, globally. The World Health Organization has report 50% of the developed country population as guilty of this act, and that calls for concern.
Why bring up this issue of drug non Adherence
What do we hope to achieve by reviewing on what has been widely seen as a norm
How do we go about achieving such
WHY DISCUSS DRUG ADHERENCE
I can remember one of our classroom lectures that informed us about the negative impact of drug non adherence.
According to the lecture, drugs were meant to kill off disease causing microbes, from our system. For this feat to be achieved, one has to adhere strictly to doctors prescription else; those organisms will undergo mutation or some internal body changes that will help it get used to the drugs, and be able to fight back against the medication, requiring the need for a different variant of drug for the treatment.
Such resurgence on the part of the causative microbes, has given rise to several health challenges like:
Rapid increment in diseases; resulting to increased visits to hospitals, long term care admissions and increased hospital readmissions
Increased cost of treatment for non adherent patient, compared to that of an adherent one
Long term medications
Ageing populations
Increased cost of pharmaceutical research and development for medications that can take care of the threats wedged by the new mutants of microbes, etc.
WHY THIS REVIEW
Some people may not have known about the attendant risks associated with drug non adherence. We hope to create the needed awareness, and let the world to know that it’s not cool, skipping medications; pointing out the consequences attached. Having done this, we'll be encouraging those guilty of such acts to desist from them and live right.
To reduce the fallback, posed by drug non adherence; we will be introducing a technology that will help encourage adherence to medication.
HOW DO WE GO ABOUT THAT?
An innovation idea that will remind patients, when to take their drugs; alert family and friend into nudging the patient abide by doctor's prescription, and further motivate him/her through an access to patients of his likes on the platform; encouraging him to outperform them and In so doing, win the opportunity of having a charity of his choice, win some financial donation is no doubt, the obvious solution we need.
This is the exact role that Curaserve; a project of Curaizon will be providing the health sector. Curaserve is a blockchain based platform, where a patient can be enrolled after a debrief from a health care center. It comes in web and mobile forms; with the easy to use mobile app installed on the patient's mobile; programec to function in line with the doctor’s prediction.
The app beeps at set intervals, to remind patients when to take medications, with the indication of patient’s adherence; generating data that can easily be monitored by the healthcare providers, to enable a proactive response when there's need.
The data gathered from the Curaserve are channeled to another facet of the app called the Curadata, where they’re refined to help form patient’s behavioral patterns to medication and other adherence related data for research, health and institutional purpose.
These data can be accessed with an access fee, payable in Curatoken, which is the primary or official cryptocurrency for use, within the ecosystem.
Pharmaceutical firms, research institutions and non-profits can have access to such anonymous but real time data for research purposes.
The results of their research can be purchased and added to the database to beef up the curadata value, continually.
Below is an illustration of the many facets of the Curaizon application:
CONCLUSION
We expect that, with the deployment of this App, and putting them into proper use, we'll be at the best position to kiss Non adherence to medications; good bye.
You can partake in this feat by buying into the ongoing ICO. Details of this and more can be found via the whitepaper link contained below.
Don't forget, "health is wealth"
