From tablets to digital solutions: A comprehensive approach to improving patient care

CRYSTAL CLEAR?

The rise of digital technologies is profoundly changing the way we take care of our health.

At Servier, we firmly believe that they can provide significant added value for both patients and healthcare professionals. Whether it’s facilitating diagnoses, optimizing treatments, or supporting patients throughout their care journey, “beyond the pill” solutions are central to our innovation strategy. We want to improve patient care through an increasingly personalized approach.

Close collaboration with healthcare professionals is essential to deliver optimal patient care. With this in mind, we have developed digital platforms tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals, providing them with content that is relevant to their work.

In this context, we developed the MyServier platform for doctors, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals. The goal is to improve access to reliable data and resources, thereby promoting better patient care.

With the need to manage medical appointments, multiple treatments, and everyday challenges, it can be difficult for some patients to follow correctly their treatment plan. At Servier, we believe that digital solutions, or “beyond the pill” solutions, provide vital additional support for patients. For example, patients can receive reminders to take their medication, which helps them comply with their treatment, thereby improving therapeutic adhesion.

In the United States, Servier teamed up with Huma to develop an app that gives brain tumor patients access to clinically validated information about their diagnosis and treatment options. The app provides patients with tools to better understand their disease and monitor its progression. Targeted features include educational resources, information on brain tumors, medication reminders, and symptom tracking.

For cardiovascular conditions, which are often chronic, we have also developed a digital companion app that encourages self-monitoring through a personalized plan. This unique solution, which already covers hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, angina, and heart failure, helps to improve treatment adherence among patients with cardiovascular diseases and enhance their quality of life.

Digital solutions also generate valuable data. Like real-world studies, data collected using digital tools provide a very accurate indication of the patient’s degree of adherence to their treatment. They also make it possible for us to identify potential warning signs when a patient is no longer following their prescription(s) correctly.

Once analyzed, data can be used by healthcare professionals to gain a more accurate picture of their patients’ health. Treatments can then be adjusted accordingly. If a drop in adherence is detected, alternative solutions can be proposed to improve the effectiveness of the care provided.
