Minneapolis-based medtech start-up MyMeds and non-profit medical centre the Mayo Clinic will collaborate to increase medication adherence rates. Another startup, AdhereTech, which recently received a strategic investment from Argentum, is working on adherence by developing smart wireless pill bottles. From Q1 2019, the start-up's cloud-based medication management platform will offer reminders and educational information provided by the non-profit, aimed at improving health care outcomes. Users who engage with medical education about their prescribed drugs and why certain conditions make them necessary, could be more highly motivated to take their medication. The partnership is part of a larger push for healthcare providers to better understand how patients use medications in order to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.
