Adherence. Consistency. Accountability.

In medical treatment regimens requiring self-infusion, one of the biggest challenges for providers and insurers is tracking the actual usage of medicine. For instance, both the doctor who prescribes a replacement factor for hemophilia and the insurer who pays for it want to be as certain as possible that the patient is actually infusing this expensive medicine on the prescribed schedule; the former, to ensure the patient’s consistent self-care, and the latter to ensure the expensive therapy isn’t collecting dust on a shelf. Further, treaters and payers know their costs rise and their resources are devoured by patients who don’t adhere, as those patients tend to have poorer outcomes, ending up in the emergency room or clinic far more often than patients who do stick to their regimen.

To improve results and reduce costs, advocates, payers and treaters collectively work to improve the recordation of infusions. Better records, all agree, lead to better treatment: doctors who see their patients “falling off” treatment in real time can intervene earlier, prevent worse outcomes, and save everyone time, pain, and money.

The problem is, the apps and devices that have been introduced to improve logging and provide transparency all suffer the same fatal flaw: they require too much effort from the patient.

The significance of this flaw can not be overstated.

Patients finish infusing and they want to walk away. From the pain, the stigma, from the disease. They do not want to sit around entering product codes, units and other details into a database, even a nice looking database in their sleek new iPhone. They want to walk away.

The Logging Tourniquet is the first and only device built from the patient point of view, to serve the patient mindset, and in so doing, to serve the entire system.

Infuse and walk away. Let The Logging Tourniquet do the rest.
