Pittsburgh, PA — Grane Rx, the leading provider of senior care pharmacy solutions, is excited to announce a new collaboration with care.coach™, a leader in AI-driven health solutions, to enhance medication adherence and overall safety for participants in their homes. This strategic collaboration will leverage care.coach’s innovative technology and compassionate human touch to engage participants in real-time conversations about their medication routines and other critical pharmacy data, aiming to prevent adverse drug events and reduce hospital admissions.
Across the United States, medication mismanagement is one of the leading factors in hospitalizations for seniors. This collaboration between Grane Rx and care.coach directly addresses this issue by integrating pharmacy data with care.coach’s in-home companionship, coaching and communication services. The care.coach avatars provide companionship by checking in throughout the day and coaching participants on medication adherence, provide reminders that ensure they remain safe and healthy in their homes.
“By combining Grane Rx's comprehensive pharmacy data with care.coach's real-time, interactive avatar technology, we can directly support participant well-being, reducing adverse drug events that result from medication mismanagement.” said Bob Rowland, President and COO of Grane Rx. “By directly enhancing Grane Rx’s current medication literacy tools, this integration will have a meaningful impact on health outcomes, keeping participants out of the hospital.”The care.coach platform revolutionizes interactions by creating a companion-like experience for participants. Unlike many other digital health solutions, care.coach seamlessly combines the warmth and high-touch support of having a live-in family member with the clinical effectiveness and alignment to payer/provider goals typically associated with a care manager. What sets care.coach apart is its unique integration of humans and AI support, offering 24/7 availability to a virtual support system. Its inclusive design guarantees that PACE participants, even those cognitively impaired, can access services regardless of their digital literacy or access to technology.
At care.coach, we believe that effective communication and personalized support are at the heart of better health outcomes,” said Kendra Seavey, CEO of care.coach. “By teaming up with Grane Rx, we’ve amplified our medication coaching services, simplifying the process for participants to adhere to their care plans while also alleviating the communication workload for PACE interdisciplinary teams. Our commitment is to empower participants, enhance medication adherence, and ultimately prevent avoidable emergency room visits.”
Through this collaboration, Grane Rx aims to transform the way pharmacy care is delivered in home settings, enhancing participant safety, increasing medication compliance, and ultimately reducing hospitalizations due to medication mismanagement.
