TRANSCRIPT
Introducing...
Non-adherence contributing factors
Patient Training
Training from healthcare professionals can be
incorrect and infrequent
Paper pamphlets are overwhelming, poorly structured and may be
ignored by patients
Self-administration of medication is
stressful for patients. This may lead to poor
competence and injury
Patients can be forgetful, lazy and don’t stick to their prescribed plans

A virtual assistant to help you take your medication
To solve non-adherence, poor competence and reluctance to self-administer medicines we need to go beyond unweildly instructional leaflets, fine print labels on pill bottles, inconsistent training and pill reminder Apps. Providing patients with a virtual assistant provides the key to unlocking adherence and compliance by reducing the emotional and cognitive burden on users
ASSIS™ is your bespoke virtual assistant who will provide you with information on your condition and symptoms to allow you to effectively manage your treatment through any mobile device. ASSIS™ will proactively coach and motivate you to adhere to your care plan and guide you through the process of taking your medication
How does ASSIS™ work?
What is ASSIS™?“You have paired me
with your inhaler”
“I have created a simple treatment plan for you”
“I’ll synchronize the plan with your schedule”
“It’s 9:00 AM, please take your inhaler. Would
you like a technique demonstration?”
ASSIS™ can extract data from QR codes on medication cartons or be paired with any drug delivery device containing a few basic electronic components. Sensors embedded inside a drug delivery device can communicate to ASSIS™ via low power Bluetooth with status information. The ASSIS™ application utilizes the computational power, voice recognition, microphone and high resolution display of mobile devices to provide a human-like interaction
Patients and Doctors can input multiple treatments and prescriptions onto ASSIS™. The ASSIS™ software will calculate a treatment plan, which is then clearly and effectively communicated to the patient
