A Patient Support Program (PSP) can include a variety of initiatives aimed at improving patient outcomes. These programmes are structured initiatives, designed to provide comprehensive assistance and guidance to patients navigating complex healthcare journeys by fostering collaboration between drug manufacturers, healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers within the UK healthcare system. The evidence so far already demonstrates the positive impact of PSPs on patients, healthcare providers, and pharma companies with improved adherence, treatment outcomes, utilization of health services, and reduced costs.

Patient Support Programs (PSPs) serve as a transformative force within healthcare, benefiting patients, pharmaceutical brands, and the health system alike. For patients, PSPs offer comprehensive support that extends beyond medical treatment, fostering adherence to therapy, providing education, and ensuring emotional well-being, which collectively lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life.

The landscape of digital health is rapidly evolving. The integration of symptom-tracking features in health apps is reshaping the way individuals engage with their own health. As more companies harness the power of technology, digital symptom tracking is emerging as a vital tool for enhancing adherence to health and treatment plans. This blog explores the advantages of integrating symptom tracking into digital health apps and the pivotal role it plays in promoting proactive and personalised healthcare.

Technological advancements have reshaped how we approach patient care in the past decade. One such innovation is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), which leverages digital solutions to monitor and manage patient's health remotely, offering a transformative impact on healthcare delivery.
