Agrowing body of evidence demonstrates the value of digital health interventions and solutions for health promotion, disease prevention, and treatment. However, in parallel, it is vital to ensure that online-based patient-centered programmes do not leave behind the very people they are primarily designed to empower. Moreover, citizens’ digital health literacy is essential for the successful transformation of health care systems. Research has also found that online therapy can effectively treat anxiety, depression, and trauma. There is no difference in patient satisfaction depending on whether therapy is online or in-person, and for either method of receiving therapy, the outcomes are better the more sessions someone attends.

Technology is now part of the majority of people. Also, the majority of people are patients at some point in their lives. These aspects coexist and are an important part of the present, and the strategies that health professionals outline need to be taken into account.

We live in a time when technology is taking over all aspects of people’s lives, which automatically impacts the way we identify, treat and care for patients. CEBIS International belief is that by adapting healthcare to the technological advancement of the times in which we live, we will be able to respond to the needs of a much larger number of patients, this being a necessary stage at which our company has already taken steps to align.

They use technology empowered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy based interventions integrating technology varying from basic online bibliotherapy to online self-help therapy, therapist supported computerized CBT, smartphone applications (apps), traditional CBT delivered via telephone or videoconferencing, and combinations of these forms.

According to WHO, the population aged 60 and over will increase by 10% between 2015 and 2025. The increase in the elderly population and the increase in diseases and infectious diseases will determine the pharmaceutical industry to grow day by day due to the ever-increasing demand for its services. This information indicates that the pharmaceutical industry will be overworked in the near future as it is expected to create more drugs for more people. On the other hand – medication non-adherence is one of the most serious concerns in healthcare. Chronic disease and poor adherence are linked. Poor adherence leads to poor outcomes and increased medical costs >30% of the Revenue of any Pharmaceutical Company is Lost

Due to Non-Adherence to Medication. Every prescription that isn’t filled, every delayed drug administration, every omitted drug administration, every issue encountered at the pharmacy level becomes a lost chance for the patient to achieve the expected clinical outcomes and lost revenue for the pharmaceutical company.
Studies have consistently shown that 20% to 30% of medication prescriptions are not filled and that 50% of medications for chronic disease are not taken as prescribed. So, improved medication adherence represents a clear win win for all constituencies in healthcare. Pharmaceutical companies are more interested in establishing tighter relationships with their clients than ever. A patient centered strategy is now generally acknowledged as the only ethical method to conduct business and assist society. Companies may control and support the entire patient’s therapy journey by communicating with patients through Patient Support Programs.
