The medAmigo Intervention Program offers a revolutionary approach to improve patient compliance in biopharmaceutical contexts. It revolves around the concept that empowering patients helps their doctors provide better care, emphasizing the importance of realistic measurement and continuous electronic tracking of medication adherence. With included physician and patient feedback and scheduled appointments for ongoing review, the program has demonstrated significant success across various conditions, including hypertension and osteoporosis. This model is pivotal for enhancing medication management and improving health outcomes.

Measurement-Guided Medication Management (MGMM) based intervention Successful techniques for improving compliance require two key elements: • Realistic measurement • the objective, continuous electronic recording of day by day dosing times, which can be easily interpreted by most patients • Scheduled appointments with feedback • continuing periodic review with the patient, by the prescribing physician, pharmacist, or nurse of the patient’s ongoing dosing history.
