The “Patient Engagement Gap” represents one of the world's largest opportunities to achieve a higher level of care effectiveness. The New England Healthcare Institute recently published a major research piece that calculated this cost at over $290 billion for the U.S. alone. In all likelihood, the worldwide opportunity approaches one trillion dollars.

Closing the Patient Engagement Gap can save more money than our global community spends on cardiac care and three times as much as we spend on cancer. This one trillion dollar (globally) upside represents the biggest opportunity for mHealth solutions to impact the cost and effectiveness of care.
The key is to quickly move beyond simple consumer grade “reminder” applications and deliver a product that entices the patient into changing their behavior.
