THE PROBLEM
Half the population of the
western world suffers from a
chronic disease.
Chronic disease accounts
for 3 out of every 4 dollars
spent on healthcare
Doctors see patients, on
average, once a year for
20 minutes.
Patients have a poor
understanding of their
disease and low motivation.
65% aren’t taking their
medication.
