solution.
This is Human Care Systems
We design, develop, and deploy service & support solutions to modify behavior and drive higher rates of adherence, improved health outcomes,
and increased patient and HCP satisfaction. The HCS system is based on the following pillars:
Behavioral science. HCS’ team of health psychologists use behavioral science to deliver programming to change adherence, patient/clinician
communications, and other self-managing and self-monitoring behaviors.
o Deep and actionable understanding of patient pain points based on existing knowledge and research + systematic literature review +
ethnographic research.
o Most effective programming to change behaviors:
High impact education to support learning.
Cognitive behavioral exercises to change relationships between thoughts, feelings and actions.
Motivational interviewing techniques to build self-efficacy and motivation.
Personalized, high-impact experiences. HCS’ technology platform personalizes program content and timing to individual patient’s events and
barriers as well as evolving over time as patient progresses through therapy.
o The HCS platform combines a personalization rules engine + CRM database + interfaces to deliver personalized and integrated programs
through multiple channels.
o Multichannel solutions, that feel to the patient like a coherent and personalized experience, are the most effective way to reach and
impact patient behaviors.
Change, measure and communicate outcomes. HCS’ measurement, analysis and publishing support capabilities ensure that the results of the
support program are best captured and communicated.
o Measured impact on Trx (brand choice + initiation + adherence).
o Real world outcomes.
o Studies and publishing.

In developing our solutions, we want to consider events, barriers, and triggers when it comes to developing patient support programs. There are key milestones or events that every patient goes through in their patient journey. These will be unique to the disease process that we are thinking about, but here are some example events. We take these events and align them with barriers that patient encounter along their journey. We also consider triggers that arise along the way that may foreshadow non adherence or discontinuation. It is to these 3 areas that we target the intervention.Two other areas that are also important to consider in the framework are the level of support infrastructure, so how And how complex is the administration. We know that the more complex, the poorer adherence will be.
Lkey insights Support was very reactive. It relied on patient to contact physician or client to ask questions. In many cases, the patient would not know there was a problem.Onboarding was not a seamless or effective experience.Tools to drive monitoring of patients and feedback loop were not being utilized.Onboarding was one size fits all and did not account for psychosocial factors that would affect Patient adherence and persistence.
In alignment with pump foundations. Keep in mind all other PORT campaigns still taking place (welcome letter, email, 7 day pump tip sheet, 30 day pump tip sheet.
