A new, self-titled mobile health app from Duet Health is designed to promote patient adherence and help doctors better communicate with patients.
The driving force behind the app was the idea that patients forget 80 percent of what doctors tell them during office visits, Duet Health CEO Jeff Harper told Columbus Business First.
“The time spent reeducating patients is a significant drain on resources across all healthcare, and our mobile tools are designed to act as an additional guide through each patient’s course of care,” according to Duet Health.

A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
