On this episode of the InVisible InCourage SHOW, Justin Monger, founder of MedSure Systems, explains that medicine management aims to solve medication non-adherence, an issue where 50% of people do not take their medications correctly, costing the U.S. $345 billion annually in avoidable hospitalizations and causing up to 150,000 premature deaths each year. MedSure Systems tackles this by combining digital tools with human intervention, networking the patient, doctor, caregiver, and a single home pharmacy to achieve a med adherence score of over 95%. This comprehensive support system is considered a "lifesaver" for caregivers and leads to dramatically improved patient health, with studies showing 99% adherence rates and patients reporting better clinical results and feeling healthier overall.
